La Fritanga, Latín Food

I usually Don't leave bad reviews but I was very much disappointed. I've been wanting to try the food since they opened. we decided to try the buffet so we would have more options. The buffet was nothing like they advertise. It was very small . Nothing was labeled. I made a plate of various different options. My mouth started feeling very raw. I was barely able to eat anything. I called the server over and explained that I have oral allergy syndrome and asked what was in the meal and she asked what bothers me I told her it was various fruits. which is why I strayed away from the fruit plate. she informed me that there was no fruit used in any of the items on the buffet. I asked her what a couple things were and one of the items ended up having plantains. but she continued to argue with me that there was no fruit. my husband was not very impressed and only had 1 small plate. and my son had 4 chicken nuggets and a cookie. server also told me that they used to have labels but just don't put them up anymore. $80 later we will not be returning.

This place! Oh my ! Not only is the food sooo good, but the environment , the employees, is just so warming! Here from California on business, and this has been my hang out. Owner is so nice and you can tell he cares for his customers and employees! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!! The prices are amazing too!

We got El Parrillon which was a TON of food and easily fed our family. We did get extra Gallo Pinto (rice and beans) but that's just because we love it!

What a great addition to Richland Center's dining choices. Not being familiar with Nicaraguan cuisine, my mother and I asked for suggestions. The waiter explained some of the dishes and made suggestions based on our preferred protein and spice level. I chose the shrimp in jalapeno cream sauce (which had a very mild heat level) and my mother had a shredded beef dish. Both of us enjoyed our entrees! Great food and large portions. I plan to go back when I am in town.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is in the White House hotel which has a ramp to enter. The restaurant has widely spaced tables so a wheelchair is easily accommodated.

The service was excellent. Didn't know much on the menu so, was suggested by staff. Ordered what was suggested and it was awesome. This place was enough for four people and there were only two of us. The leftovers definitely went home with us. The atmosphere was so casual, pleasant and down to earth.

Lots of choices and the wait staff is very helpful in explaining the dishes. We stood at the door for quite a while before being seated, but they were very attentive after that.

Delicioso! A Taste of Nicaragua in Richland Center at La FritangaCraving auténtico Nicaraguan flavors in Wisconsin? Look no further than La Fritanga in Richland Center! This vibrant restaurant serves up a taste of Central America with heaping portions and home-cooked goodness.My Nicaraguan Feast:Let me tell you, my recent visit to La Fritanga was an explosion of taste and texture. I dove headfirst into their Nacatamal, a savory corn tamale bursting with tender pork, potatoes, and veggies. Each bite was a delightful mix of soft masa, juicy meat, and pops of flavor from the other ingredients. It was like a warm hug on a plate, perfect for a cozy winter day.Next up, I savored the Cerdo Asado, a generous portion of grilled pork marinated to perfection. The smoky, slightly sweet notes of the marinade kissed every tender morsel, and the pork itself was cooked to juicy perfection. It was a carnivore's dream come true!Of course, no Nicaraguan meal is complete without Gallo Pinto, the iconic rice and beans dish. La Fritanga's version was spot-on, with fluffy rice, perfectly seasoned black beans, and a hint of sofrito for that extra kick. It was the perfect accompaniment to both the Nacatamal and Cerdo Asado, soaking up all the delicious juices and adding a touch of earthy goodness.Beyond the Food:But La Fritanga is more than just the food. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with colorful décor and friendly staff who are happy to answer any questions about the menu. The owner, a Nicaraguan native, pours his heart and soul into every dish, and it shows in the quality and authenticity of the cuisine.Overall:If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Nicaraguan experience in Richland Center, La Fritanga is the place to go. From the melt-in-your-mouth Nacatamal to the flavorful Cerdo Asado and perfectly cooked Gallo Pinto, every bite is a fiesta for your taste buds. With its friendly atmosphere and genuine hospitality, La Fritanga will transport you straight to the heart of Nicaragua, right here in Wisconsin.Highly recommend!Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI hope this review helps you discover the hidden gem that is La Fritanga
