Mofongo del Valle

There are a lot of Dominican restaurants in and around Hamilton Heights, but this one's perfect whenever a bunch of hungry friends decide to come over at the last minute. Get a whole rotisserie chicken, a pile of crispy pork chicharron (which can also be mashed into a garlicky mofongo if they're starving), plus a few sides like the fried sweet plantains and the rice and beans, and you've got yourself a takeout meal that will leave everyone full and happy. And asking to come over again for seconds.
