Guy Fieri made a trip to West Palm Beach to try some of the best mofongo outside of the island of Puerto Rico. La Cosinita Latina Restaurant has truly Authentic Puerto Rican Cuisine. A quaint location in South Florida which built by family and continues to be family-run to this day uses authentic flavors, ingredients and taste.
My go to order is the palomilla steak with mofongo (without chicharones). But let me take a few steps back and explain each item:
Palomilla Steak - Palomilla steak is a thinly cut top sirloin. Top sirloin is a very tender lean cut of meat, which is perfect for the traditional thin cut of the palomilla. It's incredible how tender and flavorful your steak can be considering how thin it is and fast it cooks!
Mofongo - Classic plantain mofongo is a dish made of fried plantains, mashed and mixed with garlic paste and chicharrón. It is served alongside beef broth.
Chicharones - crispy pork skin
I also like to have one pastele on the side with it. Pasteles are made with pork and adobo stuffing encased in a green plantain masa and wrapped in banana leaves. It is something takes a lot of time and effort to make.
