Mojitos Bistro - Norcross

My wife and I dropped in on a perfect fall afternoon and grabbed a table outside (highly recommend when the weather cooperates; downtown Norcross feels like a little escape). She ordered the Ropa Vieja and absolutely loved it. Said the pulled brisket was incredibly moist, fall-apart tender, and packed with flavor - she was basically doing a happy dance with every bite. I went with the Arroz Rellano (“Stuffed Rice”) hoping for something closer to a light, fluffy Arroz Imperial. Unfortunately it wasn’t that at all. Came out as a very dense, rich, almost casserole-like block of rice that I found bland and a bit grainy. The side of garlic-parmesan Mojo sauce saved the day - I was basically drowning every forkful in it to make the heaviness palatable. Not a bad dish if you know what you’re getting, but it’s definitely not the delicate, soufflé-style Cuban classic I had in mind. This wasn’t our first visit and won’t be our last. Over the years it’s consistently been “good to very good,” never amazing across the board, but always pleasant. If you go, I’d lean toward the simpler Cuban sandwiches and classics rather than the heavier rice dishes. Downtown Norcross is such a charming spot, and Mojitos is absolutely worth a stop when you’re in the area - just order with your eyes open and definitely get a cocktail. We’ll be back.

Enjoyed lunch with my wife at Mojitos. While not an expert in Cuban food, I did live and work IN south Florida and had my share. Mojitos is excellent with authentic food and friendly service. We will be Back.
