(Featuring Mamacitas Puerto Rican Kitchen)
Mondays can be rough—but they get a whole lot better when you start them with garlic, plantains, and the kind of slow-roasted pork that makes you forget you ever hit snooze.
This week’s Monday Munchies brings the bold, beautiful flavors of Puerto Rico to your lunch break with a visit to Mamacita’s Puerto Rican Kitchen—the truck where every plate tastes like home.
Menu Highlights:
- Mofongo Madness – Mashed green plantains, garlicky and golden, loaded with your choice of pork, shrimp, or chicken. “A crispy, salty, starchy celebration in a bowl. Pure magic.”
- Pernil Plate – Slow-roasted pork shoulder with rice and gandules (pigeon peas), plus fried sweet plantains. “Tender. Juicy. And the crispy skin? Chew-worthy.”
- Empanadas (Pastelillos) – Flaky golden pockets stuffed with beef, chicken, or cheese. “One bite and you’ll understand why these are Mama’s best-sellers.”
- Tres Leches Cake – The perfect sweet ending—moist, milky, and fluffy. “Like getting tucked in by dessert.”
Mamacita’s isn’t just a name—it’s a vibe. The food is comforting, soulful, and full of flavor that hits like a hug from your favorite auntie. Every bite carries that sazón only real home-cooking has.
So if your Monday’s dragging, go get lifted—with mofongo, pernil, and the kind of lunch that reminds you flavor heals.
