Simply Sofrito Puerto Rican Bistro

We ate at Simply Sofrito Todo today and I’m still thinking about it. Honestly, it was even better than some of the food I’ve had in Puerto Rico. One bite and I was right back on our family trips visiting relatives. My husband had the Kan Kan with rice and beans, I ordered the churrasco with chimichurri and mofongo, and my daughter happily demolished two empanadas. Everything tasted fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made to order. We did wait a little over 30 minutes, but once those plates hit the table, it was absolutely worth it. You can taste the care in every bite. Chef and owner Jasmine was amazing. She took the time to explain how the restaurant works and the love she puts into the food. I told her she made my ancestors proud with those flavors and I meant it. I cannot wait to

This place has the most authentic Puerto Rican food I have ever eaten in NJ! I had the sancocho that transported me to mother’s kitchen. My Husband had the festive plate, pasteles!! They don’t skimp on the meat. My son the mofo go with permir. All with full of flavor. We ended with the flan de queso, tres leche and flan de coquito. This place DOES NOT disappoint! Thank you Jazmine for your hospitality❤️

My husband was on a military deployment and when I got the date he was coming home it was last minute. So I contacted Sofrito to cater for a last minute welcome home party with family and they were able to take the order. I had people cancel and then added so I changed the order last minute and they still were so patient with us. They were so nice and so helpful when we went to pick up the order too. The food was so so delicious everyone was going up for seconds and thirds. We will definitely be ordering from Sofrito for future parties! Thank you so much Yasmin!!

We had the pleasure of tasting Puerto Rican cuisine, maybe the only restaurant that we have in Monmouth County. The menu includes appetizers, main dishes and great desserts. We enjoyed a savory "sancocho", a thick soup with great vegetables and meat. We also tried shredded "pernil" pork, white rice and red beans. As dessert we culminated our experience with a "flan de coco". Simply sofrito offers a variety of flavors, including great vegan options like a "mofongo". The owner was very welcoming and the atmosphere was very pleasant abd colorful too.

This is the best Puerto Rican food I have eaten! The food has flavor, not spicy. We got the Beef stew. It had potatoes, carrots, beef chunks were tender and the broth not salty. We got the pork chunks. Seasoned well not dry, not over cooked with Yucca fries that were also tender and not salty. Someone else got pork monfongo. The plantain part was moist, not hard. You let them know how much garlic kick you want and they got it right! The pork was very flavorful and tender. We also got the loaded plantains. It comes with pork also with a garlic sauce that was so good. The garlic was not spicy, yet very flavorful. For drinks we got the passion fruit. It was not too sweet or thick it was refreshing. The white rice and beans hit perfect. They come separately not like other restaurants where the
