Top 5 Heavy Hitters You Must Try
From slow-roasted pernil to house-made flan — these are the dishes critics rave about and regulars order on repeat.
6-Hour Roast Pork (Pernil)
The undisputed number one. Our owners' top item — slow-cooked for six hours using Mami's signature garlic recipe for crispy skin and impossibly tender meat.
Jerk Chicken
A fast-rising top seller the owners can't stop talking about. The local food critic noted the meat came right off the bone and called it fantastic.
Oxtails and Mofongo
Customers absolutely rave about this combo in their five-star reviews. We prepare our oxtails as a rich stew rather than caramelizing them — the result is incredibly tender, juicy meat over garlicky mofongo.
Famous Pepper Steak
Made with peppers and onions, this is a famous staple people cannot stop talking about.
"One of the tastiest dishes I've ever had — the juice was like gold and the meat was extremely tender." — Local food critic
House-Made Tres Leches & Flan
Save room for dessert. We make our Tres Leches and classic Flan fresh in-house every day — a massive hit, with regulars specifically asking to take home an extra piece of flan.
"Some of the best desserts I've ever had." — Local food critic
