Born in Puerto Rico, Made in DC La Famosa brings soulful Puerto Rican cooking to Washington, DC’s Navy Yard neighborhood. The food is humble and comforting, and true to the island’s rich history, it’s…
I ordered the Valentine special and EVERYTHING was good! I highly recommend especially for a date night treat in . Ensalada Tamarindo was good, the shrimp were huge! The torta chocolate was heaven! Pastelilios are delicious too! Everything was packaged safe and secure. And everything was cooked well and was fresh.

Beyond delicious. Sandwiches are huge, fresh, and tasty. I'm obsessed with the virgin pina colada. I order it so I can sip it by the pool and pretend I'm in the Caribbean and not Navy Yard

Been going to La Famosa since they opened. The Arroz con Gandules and Tostones are so wonderful, they remind me of my Aunt's cooking. The Jibarito is always a win, the chicken is so tender. Also love the chocolate torta when it's on the menu. Really glad to have this restaurant in the navy yard!

The Shrimp Mofongo was decent! Not as good as the mofongo in PR, but worth getting again. Very tasty shrimp. The Mantecaditos were tasty too. Good portion on everything. Great Dasher too.

The Carne Frita was quite honestly just whatever. I would not get it again it just like flavor completely and I would say technically I did not feel like the sauce helped very much. And I know it's an appetizer ratio of amount to price also not ideal. With that said the dessert was absolutely fire. Would get it again and I think that's actually a steal for the price.
