Mofongo at Pura Vida

You won’t find classic Puerto Rican mofongo anywhere else in town. Served as a tapa, it’s a mound of mashed green bananas flavored with cracklings and carnitas. Pork jus adds needed moisture. Yep, you get slightly sour bananas mashed like potatoes and studded with crispy bits of flavor-screaming pork. $9.
