La Fritanguera

This place was very delicious! Especially the cacao nicaraguence! Definitely recommend!

Great atmosphere, very welcoming family vibes, great service, food is fresh and hella good, flautas are fully stuffed of flavor, carne asada is on point with the seasonings and can't forget the gallo pinto taste like it came out of my mommas kitchen, highly recommend La Fritanguera

The food is delicious. It's hot and fresh. The service is amazing. Isabella does a great job of offering recommendations to first-time diners while being attentive to all other diners in the establishment. The music makes you feel good. The restaurant has a very inviting atmosphere where new diners will feel right at home.

Great weather for outdoor patio seating, great promot service, really tasty drinks, and yummy food. I was waiting for a friend and sat outside, they kept coming out to check on me until she arrived. Yelp check-in freebie of Red dragon fruit limeade it the spot (not too sweet or too tart!). The creamy jalapeno shrimp was so good with pretty big pieces of shrimp.

They had really nice music playing, not too loud. There's street parking as well as a small parking lot in the back.

I don't know what happened to this place. I had not been there in over 1-2 yrs, and the food definitely has changed and not for the better. Maybe a new cook or a non-Nicaraguan cook? They no longer have the brand Queso Frito, but there are plenty of places that sell queso para freír (cheese used to fry), so why can't this restaurant get some? Ordered buñuelos to-go, and they were tasteless! I think they were just made with flour masa but missed the yucca and queso rallado. The syrup was made with water and sugar but no cinnamon! We were all very disappointed. Someone who is not familiar with the Nicaraguan gastronomy must have made those buñuelos. They had run out of some dishes on the menu, also no nacatamales, and a couple of hand-made juices were not available too. Like if you don't have the food and drinks on the menu, just close for the day! And please, buy queso para freír. They are sold at many Mexican stores! The Mixto dish listed yucca but no yucca in the plate. Needless to say, we won't be coming back. We will instead drive to Las Tinajas in San Francisco.

The cerdo was tasty though and the chicharrones. Maduro frito was not sweet-- was at that stage between green and sweet.

La comida es un fraude no representa la verdadera comida nicaragüense El Gallo. Pinto es una masa de arroz con biterras, los taquitos parecían carne de gato, el pollo qué llevaba adentro, no son la receta Nicolla.
Café espérate Esos tacos parecen flautas mexicanas. Sin el ánimo de ofender, el arte culinario mexicano que es una delicia. Definitivamente que es un fraude, no merece NICARAGUA ser mal representado de esa manera, el arte curinario nicaragüense es es otro.
Para no volver a ir a comer a ese restaurante jamás.
No se lo recomiendo a nadie, le puse una estrella para no comentar pero me siento obligado hacer realista y decir lo que percibí de la comida, de ese restaurante. aunque en realidad no debería de poner ni siquiera una estrella . lo lamento pero es la verdad. Espero que la administración de ese restaurante o los dueños lean este comentario y tengan un poquito de control de calidad, porque uno paga por un servicio de comida auténtica y ponen por el suelo a toda una Nación, mal representándola de esa manera .

After two years we came back today 4/27 To have lunch. We were very disappointed with the plates we ordered. For example one of the plates we ordered 19.99 was pork full of plantain you get from a bag at the supermarket or dollar tree. Came with a small piece of fried cheese and ensalada de repollo . I was expecting all items cooked there not from a bag of plantains you get from a store . The pork had good flavor . We also order one with chicken the meat had good flavor but of dry plantain chips from a bag. It's too bad the plates have change for the worse . By the way the gallo pinto lack flavor.

I always say that some of the best restaurants I've been to are the hole in the wall and local restaurants. This is one of them. You don't find too many Nicaraguan spots in the area, but I have to admit that this is the only one I know of in the area. I was driving on Willow Pass Rd and saw a sign that said, "Nicaraguan Food" which prompted me to look it up on Yelp. A couple hours later, there we were having dinner.

There was a few parking spots off the street available considering the fact that the restaurant is around the corner of Todos Santos Park, an area that's normally frequented by locals and plenty of restaurants. We were lucky to find parking in front of the establishment.

The restaurant was small, enough to serve about 20 people. It was like the size of a small coffee shop. Anyway, they had one waitress/host working. She was very friendly.

They provided no menus but the option to scan for a menu on our phone. The website needs work and not all images of the meals were provided. We ordered the Pollo Asado plate with plantain chips and a side of queso frito. For drinks we ordered and a Guava con Limon. We also tried the Dragonfruit lemonade.

We didn't have to wait long for our food. It arrived pretty fast. My eyes rolled back when I took a bite of the chicken. I automatically knew that it was a winner. It was delicious. The rice mixed with beans was very tasty as well. Loved the salad on the side. I think it was pickled cabbage. Wasn't sure on what it was.

Overall food, service, and experience was great. Definitely adding this to my list of local spots to eat.

Just an FYI to future customers:

The waitress added $4 for the slice of cheese (She failed to mention that it wasn't part of the meal)

There is a surcharge if you pay with credit/debit card

The price is a bit too high for some of the meals in my opinion.

They are only open on certain days and hours. Please call the establishment first because this doesn't show online.

I had Nacatamales they are so delicious, they are big, they have a lot of flavor. They had a kick of chile to them that made them extra yummy. The price is right. This are the best nacatamales I've had in a long time. You will not be disappointed.

Este restaurante es un fraude. El arroz esta frio. Las tajadas viejes (de la semana pasada). El queso parece Tofu. Es un robo. Pagamos $100 para comida imitacion. Las muchachas son amables.
