| - We read about Sofrito Rico in one of the weekly magazines. As an East Coaster, I love, love, love Puerto Rican food.
The cafe is located west of Decatur on Charleston, on the south side of the street.
The decor is clean and cheerful. We tried a number of dishes because I wanted to have a sampling, but especially as I make Monday more pleasant with special food leftovers.
We had the corn sticks (surullitos) appetizers which are very good.
My husband ordered the sauteed steak with onions, and the french fries. He was over the moon about the tender steak and looked so happy!
I got the grilled chicken with onions, which comes with salad, plus I had the mafongo (plantains, garlic, and pork rinds), and fried plantains.
The Habichuelas/stewed beans are so flavorful, with great seasoning.
The portions are generous.
Our waiter, Jorge, and all the staff were very helpful and we certainly intend to come back soon with friends, to try all the great looking, freshly prepared foods. Come check it out!!
ps my tough reviewer husband suggested I rate Sofrito Rico 5!!!!! This hardly ever happens!!
