"This was insane. I?ve had good Cuban food. But never THIS good. Every item blew me away and I?d come here again in an instant. We started off with mojitos and mango juice. Mojitos are considered the best in the city! I personally loved the mango juice as it was super thick and tasty. We then had their fried pork chunks with fried plantains happy hour appetizer. This pork was super crispy on the outside, and super tender and fatty on the inside. It was perfectly seasoned just enough for the meat to still remain the star with its fantastic texture. The fried plantain chips were served with a tangy lemon mojo (sauce) to dip them in. We then got some shrimp filled puffs. The shrimp were soft and savory and the puff was super light and airy. The main dish I had was the vaca frita. This shredded beef is served in a beautiful baked plantain atop mashed plantains. I chose sides of mixed black beans and rice as well as caramelized plantains. The meat was incredible. So much flavor infused into tender, shredded meat. The rice and beans were so good themselves I could eat a bowlful of that alone! And as always, plantains are so good when slightly sweet and caramelized. The final item we had was their dessert torreja. This is essentially French toast, bread pudding, crème brûlée creation. It?s the best dessert item I?ve ever had in my life. So soft and custardy while crisp on the outside. Served with an incredibly creamy vanilla ice cream. Absolutely stunning and blew me away! Overall Mojitos is an absolutely phenomenal restaurant with excellent dishes and one of the best desserts I?ve ever had!"

"I visited on a Sunday at 7:40 PM, just an hour and twenty minutes before closing. I had to seat myself because no one came to greet me, which gave the impression that they were ready to close early. I ordered the tostones rellenos with shrimp as an appetizer and placed my main food order right away, sensing the staff's impatience. It took them an astonishing hour to bring my food, especially after I noticed that a party of eight who arrived 25 minutes after me was served before me. When I brought this up, the server didn't even apologize; she simply mentioned that my ticket had gotten stuck in the printer. I questioned how this could happen when the restaurant was nearly empty, with only two tables filled, and they hadn’t started preparing my meal. To make matters worse, my appetizer never arrived. I specifically asked them to ensure my son's pollo a la milanesa was cooked properly, but it ended up dry and burned. I typically don’t leave negative reviews, but this experience compelled me to take action. Additionally, there was no manager on site to address these issues. I strongly advise against dining at this establishment. The service was appalling, the food was subpar, and it felt like they were disinterested in having customers. If I could give zero stars, I would. Also, if you're considering ordering to-go, be aware that the app won't permit you to do so an hour before closing, and phone orders are not accepted; you must place your order in person and wait. This is ridiculous. I’m left wondering how management operates this place and how it remains in business."
