"Albert's Is More than Mofongo. Last week, I reviewed International Food House, the sister restaurant of Albert's Mofongo House. Now it is Albert's turn. Albert's Mofongo House features mofongo plates, naturally.<br/ Yesterday, a friend of my spouse and I dined at Albert's which shares a kitchen and a chef with IFH.<br/ The amiga selected chivo guisado (stewed goat) which came with steamed yuca and onions plus rice and pink beans. She also ordered a piña colada. I had a mojito and the puerquito asado (braised pork shank) which was accompanied by a small green salad and mashed sweet plantains.<br/ Take home to my spouse consisted of rabo guisado (stewed oxtails) and moro. Moro is the short term for moros y cristianos (the reference for rice and black beans). In Dominican circles, they can be other beans such as gandules (pigeon peas), which this version happens to be.<br/ All was fine with everyone. The puerquito was huge. Yet, I managed to finish it in the restaurant. It was meltingly tender and the skin was extra crisp. The friend took home leftovers and bought pollo a la brasa. My wife had leftovers at home. Servings are generous to compensate as the prices are higher than most typical Caribbean places."
