Mofongo hits the Midwest at MashRoots Mofongo Bar in College Hill
Walking into MashRoot's Mofongo Bar in College Hill feels like walking into a lot of newer restaurants in Cincinnati. "A clean, well-lighted place," Ernest Hemingway might've called it. The dining area is bright white. So are the chairs. The tables are, too. There are industrial light fixtures. There are cool murals on the wall. Take a closer look at those murals, though, and you see the raison d'être of MashRoots. Namely, the plantain, as well as the beachy pastel colors one might associate with the island of Puerto Rico, where mofongo is to natives what chili is to Cincinnatians.
