| - I've been meaning to try this place for a while but have never been in the neighborhood on the right day until today (they are open limited hours, Thurs-Sun 11-8). We ordered our food to go. It took about ten minutes for them to have our order ready.
The tostones (fried plantains) with garlic sauce were the best I've ever had - wonderfully crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and you get three for a buck -- pretty awesome. Their garlic sauce was thicker than I'd seen in other cities, and I liked it better than the thin stuff.
I'd never tried mofongo before, but read the reviews here and heard it was great, so we ordered that too, with the pork. I still don't quite know what is in mofongo (definitely some bacon in there, and something else crispy, along with mashed plantains), but it was really good, and combined with the roasted pork it was delicious.
The man behind the counter was very kind and explained things on the menu that I wasn't familiar with. He seemed really pleased when I told him I had heard about Millie's from Yelp, and he was grateful for the great reviews. But the restaurant totally deserves the accolades -- the food was really fabulous.
