Nelly's Mofongo Restaurant and Bar

full of flavor and good vibes. The mofongo was absolutely delicious perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. You can tell they take pride in their food. The portions were pretty good. Lori was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Whether you’re a fan of Caribbean cuisine or trying mofongo for the first time, Nelly’s is definitely worth the visit. I’ll be coming back for more!

I went in to give this place another chance as I didn’t have a good experience before. The mangu is better than last time, salami perfect. The cheese was only 1 piece and it was small but also just tasted like dirty oil/pan and the second egg has SHELLS ALL IN IT. I’m crunching down and just all hard pieces.

Everything on the menu is amazing, and they make the best Cubano in Orange County, hands down. Attentive, friendly staff, and an immersive atmosphere. Would give more stars if I could

Nelly Latin Restaurant (formally named Cilantro) Amazing Latin (Puerto Rican / Dominican) food! Some of the best mofongo and pernil ever tasted outside of the islands. Pasteles are on point! Food is consistently flavorful and fresh and not too salty. The service could not be more perfect: always on time, with great quality food served by the kindest owners 😊 prices are super affordable (The combo specials are the best - 2 or 3 eat for $20) with very generous portions
