“ Blessed to have come across this amazing restaurant! Mi Familia Restaurant provided outstanding catering service for our inaugural Healing By Growing (HBG) Farms Disability and Agriculture Conference. The food arrived on time and was hot and absolutely delicious. Our participants, with diverse dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian, and regular options), were incredibly impressed and enthusiastic about every individually prepared meal. The owner demonstrated exceptional, grace, flexibility and compassion when we experienced a significant last-minute reduction in guest count due to severe weather. She graciously agreed to credit us for the unused lunches (40 meals) towards future catering services. We are confident that Mi Familia Restaurant will be our preferred caterer for our upcoming 2025 conference in this region. We sincerely appreciate their outstanding service and wish them continued success. Blessings, Dr. Ivette Ruiz ”
“ We are very blessed . . . That our area of Southeastern Connecticut has such a large Puerto Rican population - - or we may have never tasted the wonderful food that this restaurant offers. One of the best, if not THE VERY BEST, restaurants in the local area. My only concerns: 1) I didn’t see a bathroom, but I didn’t need one ; 2) we could have used a knife for the pork stick, but we should have asked. The staff is extremely helpful. Wonderful designs, with lots of inspiration. Now for the food: - Chicken Steam Plate: Chicken leg, rice & beans, fried plantain pieces. Chicken super moist, rice was outstanding, & plantains were very tasty. - Beef Stew: very good, similar to Filipino Beef Mechado. - Pork Stick: great tasting pork - - for me, I would have liked a bit more “fatty” on my stick, but it was really meaty!!! - Beans were nicely done. - Smashed Plantains were served with 1000 Island dressing: probably just as good without the dressing. - Ground Beef Empanada: good, a bit of vegetables would have put it over the top (potatoes, onions, carrots, peas) - - but that’s there style. - Chicken Empanada: ok, a bit salty for us. Enjoy!!!!! We probably ordered more than we should have, next time we’ll scale back . . . a little. ”
“ Very tasty. Ordered the pork with yellow rice and a little bit of beans. Portions are good and food was seasoned nice. ”
“ This was our first time visiting this establishment, and it far exceed our expectations. The food was delicious and well seasoned. The beverages were authentic and tasty! Our daughters got the guava juice, while my wife and I got the Lulo drink. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant and suggest you try some of finger foods too. ”
“ This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. This was an excellent experience. I tried some chicken, a rib, pork, rice with bacon, stew, and some thing fried which I don't know the name of. First of, the fried piece, which resembled a large mozzarella stick was outstanding. It had a crispy outside and a beautiful chewy inside with corn and some great sweetness to it. All of the other food was very nicely done, great flavor, large portions, and more than filling. Once again a great overall experience. I went back in to talk to the owner and he was a really nice person also. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 9.1. ”
