“ There’s something about the taste of what seems like a home cooked meal, the owner knowing your order (and allergies) after only 2 visits over the past year, and the coziness of a restaurant that will keep you coming back. I will continue driving the 40 minutes to taste the decadent food and support the friendly and personable owner. She was also nothing short of spectacular after we had a party of 20. 10/10 will ALWAYS recommend Simply Sofrito as the place to go. ”
“ Yasmin, the owner, is welcoming, hospitable, and an amazing chef!!!! Food and atmosphere make you feel like you're on the island. Go and enjoy!!!! ”
“ Soft Open Review Limited Menu They just opened the restaurant pending their grand opening, and patience yields an amazing experience! No need to rush just sit back and relax and the food is worth the wait. I ordered the pincho kebobs in pork and they came out with a nice meaty pork belly cut almost chicharon finish to them. Paired awesome with the Garlic Cilantro sauce. I got the Permil garlic pulled pork and it was awesome, yellow rice and beans, the pork was seasoned and cooked insanely tender. For dessert we got the grava and cheese Empanadas and the sweet salty combo was awesome you get 3 with your order and 1 was filling enough. Honestly I cannot wait to come back and post another review! ”

“ Today my boyfriend and I had dinner here and it was truly uplifting! The food was sublime! Service was exceptional and I adored the music they played as we savored every bite. A perfect date night that left us feeling inspired! ”
“ The food is amazing. However the personalities of the owner as well as the workers is what makes this place special. Abigail is a very friendly waitress. From the first encounter I had with the owner, you can tell Mrs. Yasmin has a love for what she does, and continually puts out wholesome, flavorful, and inspiring food. The atmosphere as well as the ambiance of the restaurant is the icing on the cake of it all. Simply Sofrito has been my go to restaurant every Wednesday and I will constantly continue this streak when I can. ”
“ If you have not yet, you HAVE to come to Simply Sofrito! The food, the service, the atmosphere; absolutely INCREDIBLE! My husband took me here for my birthday and it was DELICIOUS! Everything we had was authentic and made me feel like I was at my Abuelita’s table! I am very skeptical of pasteles and this was the ONLY one I e had that tastes like my great grandmothers! Yasmine and her team are prompt and make you feel at home! I would give this place 10 stars if I could ”
