El Mofonguito is a small, clean restaurant celebrated for its delicious Puerto Rican food and excellent service. Customers have noted that it offers the best Puerto Rican food in Chicago, with many feeling transported back to the island. A standout dish is the Volcanic with shrimp, which is praised for its freshness, along with the must-try Mofongo and the recommended jibarita. The food is exceptionally tasty, with some dishes, like the pork chops, even compared to beloved family recipes. The staff is attentive and friendly, greeting guests warmly as they enter. They provide great suggestions to enhance the dining experience. Additionally, the restaurant's late closing hours make it a convenient option for those with late-night cravings. However, some customers have mentioned an added 18 percent charge on their bills, which they felt was excessive for larger groups. Despite this, the overall experience remains positive, and delivery drivers have even recognized it as a hidden gem.
