I'm a big fan of this spot. This is my second time, and it did not dissapoint. It's definitely a neighborhood gem, with a no frills atmosphere inside. The Central American flavors really come through with a menu full of traditional dishes. We loved everything we had, from the margaritas, to the empanadas, and of course the tostones. Definitely recommend this spot! Grab a group and share a spread.

We have been visiting Fritanga over 14 years. It's my husband's favorite local restaurant. The restaurant is always clean. The staff is professional and kind. The food is fabulous. They take pride in what they serve and it shows.

My husband and I visited today and such a great lunch. He had the carne asada which was delicious and I had the chicken taquitos and a mango margarita. The margarita was STRONG but delicious and the wait staff couldn't have been friendlier. The place was busy and service was fast but we didn't feel rushed at all. We were able to sit, enjoy our meal and visit. We drove out from St. Charles to try something new and we are so glad we did! We will be back.

Fritanga is a definite new favorite of mine! I came in for lunch and was delighted by how quaint and lovely the spot was. They have a patio outside which is perfect for a nice weather day. I got an array of items and each one was absolutely fantastic. I think the number one thing I can say about each item I got was that you can tell it was made with passion and authenticity. The flavors are amazing, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the food. Items ordered - chancho con yuca: marinated pork served with cassava root. The spices on this are unreal. The pork is super tender and the cassava is cooked perfectly. - carne asada: definitely my favorite item I ordered. It comes with fried plantains and gallo pinto (mixed beans and rice). The serving size is generous and the meat is cooked phenomenally. - rum cake: a balance of sweet flavors with a solid base of moist cake. - sweet plantains: I got a side of these, as I've never had them before. I enjoyed them but they could have served as a dessert for me! Fritanga is a must try!!

Delicious food, excellent service, and very relaxing restaurant with plants and Nicaragua flag mural...definitely worth trying if have not as was my first time being on visit to see an old friend, kept thinking if only had this in Indy, anytime that am in town will be back!

Had a birthday dinner here for a family member and had a great experience. Have been before, but was worried about a bigger table. They were so accommodating with reservation and it felt very homey and the owner came out and talked to us about all the food choices on the menu. Food was great. Highly recommend.

Kind of hidden away on Jefferson is this wonderful Nicaraguan gem. It's very unassuming and the ambience is very casual. There was one server for the whole place, but there's only maybe eight or six tables and he was very attentive to everyone. But what this place might lack in ambience (if that matters to you), it 100% makes up for in flavor. We started with the chicken empanadas and they were stuffed with delicious, moist shredded chicken. It was seasoned well and came with a wonderful white dipping sauce. I ordered the Chuleta De Cerdo Asado, which is essentially a Nicaraguan flavored and seasoned pork steak with the side of Maduros (sweet plantains) and both were incredible. I am a sucker for plantains. My friend got the national dish of Nicaragua, which was Carne Asada and it was cooked really well and was really good when dipped in the chimichurri sauce.. Definitely check this place out!

Perfect spot for a Saturday lunch! I've been coming here for well over 10 years and decided I was long overdue for a visit. They've changed the place around quite a bit with brighter colors and a redesign of the menu but the warmth and friendliness of the restaurant are still the same. I decided to get my usual: pollo al chimichurri con arroz y frijoles negros y maduros. I was also in the mood to try something I've never had and went with the queso frito. For drinks, I stick with my favorite, passion fruit nicarita. Pre-Covid there used to be a tower of sauces and a few different peppers. Post Covid, they now give you two sauces in small plastic cups. One is green and the other is red. I didn't try them so I couldn't tell you what flavors they were. It didn't take long before my food was out. Everything looked exactly as I remembered and tasted just as good, if not better. The chicken was still juicy and tender as ever, the black beans and rice were fresh and filling, and the maduros added the perfect amount of sweetness to balance out the meal. Oh, lest we forget the Nicarita, the Nicaraguan version of the margarita but it's made with rum instead of tequila. It's so freshening and perfect for a hot day. As for the queso frito, I have nothing to compare it to since it was my first time trying it but I enjoyed it. It reminded me of fried mozzarella. I savored every bite but knew my stomach could only hold so much. The server then came over with a box, I paid at the table, and was on my way. This place will forever be one of my favorites because no matter how long it's been, I know I can always count on getting a great meal, excellent service, and a level of comfort that most restaurants can't offer.

Food flavor was good and authentic. Service was excellent by Orlando. Prices were very reasonable.

I've lived near here since they've been open. However, my first time trying was a month ago. WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG???! The space is quaint. Staff were nice and attentive. The food was DELICIOUS! They serve some of the items I love from other cultures cuisines with their spin on them so it was PERFECT for me. I ordered the chimichurri chicken with black beans and rice and sweet plantains. The chicken was super tender and flavorful. I LOVED the pickled sauce that came with it. I PUT THAT ISH ON EVERYTHING LOL except the plantains. The beans and rice were a great accompaniment. I plan on visiting monthly to try other items. I've already been back for carryout once but I ordered the same meal. Can't wait to try the red snapper meal. Until next time...
