La Casa de Chicharrón

Behind the counter, Alba runs the kitchen with a level of care that makes this quiet neighborhood spot feel like a well-kept secret. While the daily breakfast and lunch specials keep regulars coming back, the standout is the shrimp mofongo, praised for being exceptionally moist and flavorful. For groups, the kitchen prepares large-format trays of mixed fried meats that can easily feed a crowd of ten. The service is polite and attentive, matching the low-key location that keeps it just out of the spotlight of busier city corridors.
