Sofrito Rico Authentic Puerto Rican Cuisine

If I lived in Vegas, I would go here every day for dinner! This place is hands down the best. Puerto Rican food I've had. Even my Puerto Rican. Bestie says so.I always pop into this restaurant to eat when I'm in town, and I always seem to order the same thing... I ordered the pernil, which is roasted pork, arroz con gandules, potato salad, and trifongo. The roasted pork was so tender and delicious. I got some of the dark meat pieces, which are my favorite. The trifongo definitely wins the taste test. Trifongo is a Puerto. Rican dish made with green and sweet plantains and mashed together with pieces of fried pork and Chicharrón.My food was so delicious and yummy. I had to leave some of it on my plate, so I wouldn't go into a food coma. As always, the service there is on point and friendly. The host and server does not miss an opportunity to make sure to check up on you and provide water, or whatever beverage you're drinking. They're very sweet and run a pretty efficient shop. The cooks really I did themselves this time! The restaurant is always cleaned... The wait staff is always on top of cleaning the tables, and making sure everything is orderly. The bathroom is also clean. The restaurant has an open kitchen concept, so you can see the cooks in the back, preparing the dishes, including mashing up the plantains to make the trifongo. If you are in town, you must try this place. I recommend the roasted pork and the fried chicken. Of course, if you're looking for something on the smaller side, you can try the trifongo. Be patient though, if they are particularly busy, you may have to wait, and they may be out of some things. Over the years, I've learned to ask what they ran out of.Enjoy!

This was my first time ordering food here. I ordered online for pickup.The service was good, my order was ready and nicely packed for pickup. But the food was disappointing. I ordered the rice bowl with the grilled chicken, puerto rican rice and plantains. The food was tasty but I would have enjoyed it better if the rice would be served warm and not cold and the meat over cooked and dry.I might try again but I am not sure when I will come back. With my experience, it doesn't seem like I want to come back so soon.

Pros: The foodCons: We only went once so didn't have anyDetails: Kind of a fast casual place. The service was friendly and the food was quite good.

Had some real good Puerto Rican in Las Vegas. The quaint lil restaurant-Sofrito Rico was totally definitely Rico - ( Delicious in Spanish). The vibe was intimate and though they only served wine and beer (I don't consume either) It was a great meal and time. The salad was delish and the food was so good we didn't even think of taking pics. We dug right in. The service was good - very attentive and tended to us immediately upon arrival. If in vegas craving Puerto Rican food I definitely recommend!

Holy Mofongo!!!!' The best PR food outside of the island. Incredible flavor and the quality of each dish is perfection. From the Arroz con gondules, to the habichuelas, pork, shrimp, emoanadillas, alcapurilla, sorruitos to the flan it's was wow wow wow !!! Service was excellent and the place is very clean and welcoming. This food is made with love!

I wish this wasn't so far away from me.Oh well.I'm glad we came here for lunch and now know that this exists.I had the pork rice bowl with plantains.So. Much. Flavor.The pork was so tender.... You barely had to chew The perfect bite was a bit of rice, pork and plantain. A bit sweet with a whole lot of savory. Tasty Yums!The husband had the Beef Mofungo.The beef was a bit tough.The Mofungo was savory and hearty and oh so good.Plus the garlic gravy, sauce was amazing! Yes, it was garlic -y.I love garlic so it was right up my alley.Ambience is relaxing, casual.If I'm on this side of town aga, I will be sure to swing by.(We were at One Stop Trim Shop which is just a couple blocks away.)

Delicious!! I loved. A very authentic flavor. Exactly the way I was taught to make the rice and mofongo.

I haven't been here in a couple years and was in the area yesterday, 11/13/24 so I decided I had to eat there. I started to place my online order for pickup on their Sofrito Rico website for pickup . The rice bowl went from $10 to now $14.25 and your only side option now are beans and maduros, when they used to offer tostones. I added a relleno de papa and my total was $22.75 because they also automatically add a tip for pickup??? What service is being provided if I am picking up?I then changed my order to Pernil, added the mofongo ($7.50) with a relleno de papa and the total was $29.91 with automatic tip?!!! None of these orders included a drink either. If you order for pickup through Grubhub you will also get different prizes. Grubhub does let you add the tostones as a side if you order the rice bowl. When they first opened, I provided my feedback and let them know that their prizes were too high but I would still pay not only because they're the only Puerto Rican restaurant in Las Vegas but also because because I wanted to support the local business. I was a customer back when they were in that lil bitty mall on Charleston. I also read the recent reviews and it looks like a lot has changed, including the food standards and their service so I changed my mind and canceled my order. I understand that inflation happened so it only makes sense to raise prizes but $30 plus for plantain, rice, and pork? This is just greed and flat out taking advantage of the customers. This means to to just dine in, the average meal is costing about $50, if you're including tip. At best, the average dine in prize should be between $25-30 with drink and tip included. This is just my honest feedback in hopes from an honest customer who has been supporting you since day 1.

Like coming home again. The food is just like Grandma made.. and the staff is wonderful. The restaurant is very inviting with its perfect aroma, that remind me of being a child in my Abuela's kitchen. Love coming here

Came hungry forgot to get photos but service was great and food was great to match. Skirt steak was the best choice. Trifungo was delicious as well.
