Mojito's Caribbean Grill
1246 Central Ave.
Edgewater, Md. 410/798-7356
Caribbean
The authentic Caribbean fare at Mojito's spices up a cold winter night. West Indies chicken corn chowder was smooth and chock-full of flavor, with a bite to it.
Cuban crab fritters, an appetizer, are pure heaven, made with lump crabmeat, chorizo and aji amarillo — the Peruvian yellow hot pepper — and are fried, then served with a mango mojo.
Oysters plantain are oysters dusted with plantain chips and then fried. Served with a sweet corn salsa and a roasted tomato horseradish cream, these are among the best fried oyster offerings available these days.
For pork lovers, the chipotle pork and goat cheese is shredded pork meeting sweet corn salsa and tostones, served over mixed greens, then topped with chipotle mojo and goat cheese.
Duck is marinated in mojo, then dusted with cumin and roasted and served over congri with roasted pimento sauce and vegetables. The slight bite from the mojo provided a nice contrast to the rich meat.
The tropical bomba dessert is packed with flavor: mango, pineapple and raspberry sorbets molded into a ball shape and then coated with white chocolate. It is served quartered, drizzled with raspberry aioli.
