"People come to Bongos for two reasons. One is the Caribbean food is some of the most affordable in the whole city — there aren’t too many places where $15 gets you a whole bowl of marinated pork, rice and beans, and delightful little spicy peppers. The second reason is that though the restaurant is in the middle of Aurora, it feels like a beach. There’s no more literal sand, but the brightly colored tables and decor can trick you into thinking you’re no longer in Seattle." - Harry Cheadle
