I was once told, If you ever go to Puerto Rico, you must try Mofongo!! So on our 24 hr trip to Old San Juan, El Patio de Sam was the 1st stop on our " No Reservations Needed" trip! And boy was that the best stop on the trip.. We started off with the Mahi Mahi Ceviche with tomatoes, lettuce and tostones.. The fish was fresh, the tostones were crisp, each bite was tasty and had my mouth wanting more!! A nice light start to the main course..
Being the Greedy Girls we are, we were not stopping there!! Our next course, was of course the famous Mofongo Relleno (stuffed w/ chicken) w/ garlic sauce... OMG!! Words cannot explain how awesome this dish was.. Clearly the #1 choice on the menu, everyone in the resteraunt was ordering it!! The Mofongo's outer shell of the crispiest tostones mashed and seasoned to perfection had a texture that was pleasing to the mouth.. Along with the chicken breast that filled the Mofongo and the garlic sauce on top!! We could not stop eating this wonderful dish.. El Patio de Sam hands down has the best Mofongo!!

Another sign that the place was awesome - everyone in there eating that mofongo was a local - we were the only non-borriquas in there! Oh, and Teda, you didn't mention how awesome those fresh mojitos were - I had a mango one - I forgot what flavor you had, but I remember it was just as delicious - was it guava?
It was a guava mojito!! And yes, they were awesome!!
