"If you 're looking for traditional Puerto Rican cuisine done right then this IS the place to go to in LA. Mofongos in North Hollywood is a cozy, small restaurant and you 'll have to find street parking, but worth going out if you want legitimate Puerto Rican food! Their Mofongos is very well-made and a hearty dish that is perfect for when you need something comforting and filling. The sweet plantains will accompany the dish as well and are known as 'Amarillos ' that helps to balance the savory and thick mofongo. You can get it topped with various proteins, but I went the classic route and got the Pollo Guisados. Also, if you want a sampling of their appetizers, get the De Todo Un Poco Platter, which will have all of the classic Puerto Rican appetizers. Super delish and my favorite was the Pasteles and Alcapurrias! Soooo good!! Classic street-style food elevated! For drinks, if you like eggnog then get the Coquito which is a fabulous coconutty and rum filled drink that is sooo succulent and creamy. It 's popular around the holiday season so this is a must now! Lastly, another classic dessert is the Tembleque, which is like a coconut pudding. Not overly sweet and extra creamy as well. Very well made and it shakes just as what its name means! *jiggle, jiggle* Overall, the perfect place to get some exceptionally well-made and legitimate Puerto Rican cuisine! Definitely check it out!!"
