From a Gringa Americana, let me just say — this place is the real deal. Everything on the menu tastes like it came straight from a Puerto Rican abuela’s kitchen in Puerto Rico, but right here in Killeen, Texas.
The flavors are rich, comforting, and rooted in tradition — not watered down or Americanized, just authentic Puerto Rican cooking, made with love and pride. And for those who know the deal: yes, they’ve got pasteles on the menu year-round, not just at Christmas.
This is hands down my favorite go-to spot for Puerto Rican cuisine in the area. If you're craving home-style flavors and that unmistakable Boricua soul in every dish, Texarican is where you go.
If you’ve never tried Puerto Rican cuisine — don’t worry. You don’t have to speak Spanish to feel welcome here. The staff is incredibly kind, helpful, and happy to explain the menu in English if you need it. Whether you’re new to these flavors or grew up with them, Texarican makes everyone feel like family. Give it a try — you won’t regret it.

Let’s break it down. I ordered rice ( the served me a generous portion), pink beans (a very small serving), pickled green bananas, and pulled pork (pernil).
• The rice and beans were decent—nothing special, but good enough.
• The pulled pork was dry, lacked seasoning, and just didn’t deliver on flavor.
• The pickled bananas were hard and flavorless—felt like they were either underprepared or just not fresh.
• I had a Malta drink, which was cool but not cold—just okay.
• For dessert, I went with a pastelillo de guayaba—unfortunately, it was like biting into a piece of cardboard. Very disappointing, especially for the price.
Service-wise, the line staff felt robotic and not welcoming at all. The only bright spot was the cashier, who was very friendly and helpful.
Bottom line: I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for flavorful food and warm service. It’s overpriced for the quality you get.

Quite possibly, I'm the only place I've been in America. That feels like I was in a third world country.
