Man I forgot I got stuff for patacon. Most recipes I see use unripe plantains, but a local place uses ripe plantains which you fry, smash, and fry again, then cover in meat and salad. Then douse in spicy cilantro sauce. That's a hell of a dish. The sweet plantain coupled with salty beef is for my money the best. The plantains are kind of a pain to source - you need them pretty ripe, which can take forever.
