The rice needed a little more flavor but still pretty good, and the meats were well seasoned. The tostones needed some dressing to go with it either garlic dip something on the side if they do have it they didnt offer it. The maduros were good nice and sweet and hot. The pastillios were good too they took a while to come out do to a mix up they had between the server and the person who was cooking but over all they were good. Good spot to have a quick bite and enjoy a taste of PR

Tex-Rican is a one and only Boricua place you really need, the menu varies daily and food is served hot and delicious. You got background music awesome ambient events time to time and the friendliest staff ever found, from the chef to the receptionist. Eating here is a real 100×35 home blast. We Puertorricans love to go eat the exquisite food served here.

I love this place. The food is delicious. Worth every penny and they dont skimp on the servings. Rice and beans are to die for. I really wish they would open up in Temple, a little closer to home.

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.
