Hello!
Just finished eating these patties for dinner and they were amazing! I didn't have breadcrumb so we substituted with crushed Cheez-it's. Delicious! Great job!

Just found your blog today looking for Mondongo recipes, and have been combing through for hours now. I'd like to try these, but may substitute tuna with crabmeat. Keep up the great work!

Made them last night, the cakes and the avocado sauce. It was a success!!! My husband even told me that this should be part of our "menu" next time we have people over 🙂

Wonderful recipe and appetizer! I will make these as I think the shrimp is what will bring it to a delicious level (the tuna ends up being ho-hum) Thanks!

These shrimp and tuna cakes look great--love the avocado sauce--I might also try a tartar type sauce with mayo too. Have a great weekend Erica.

Ai, ai, Erica, this looks so good, and simple to make. I'm already thinking if I have cans of tuna in my pantry. 😀

This is a recipe I can't wait to try except that I can't use shrimps as I'm allergic to them but I'll definitely use tuna!
