YUM!!   All I gotta say is go to El Nuevo Frutilandia out in the Mission and get the mofongos with the pork and garlic sauce.  It's basically fried plaintain that's trying to be a potatoe salad but warm (for lack of a better description), but also has pork and instead of mayonnaise as an added "liquid" to prevents complete dryness, it's drenched in a light, but flavorful garlic and herb sauce.

3077 24th Street,  San Francisco, CA 94110

It's a Cuban and Puerto Rican joint on 24th in between Folsom and Treat.  Catch the BART and get off at 24th Street.  You'll be glad you did that instead of doing the usual San-Francisco-circle-around-the-block-for-an-average-of-15-minutes-until-someone-leaves-their-space thing. 

oh mah goodness....mofongos.

I had dinner there tonight with a friend from outta town and it was definitely a place I'd go back to. Everything tasted like someone's abuela was in the back cookin' just for you. Their chicken soup was rockin' like a rock star, too.  and so was the ropas viejas.  Juuuuicy and mmm, mmm, good!

Thanks to Geri (and Chris?) for suggesting it.  They haven't been there either, but it was a good risk to take. yay!
