Awesome food with excellent service
Very fresh salad bar and fruit desserts, amazing food
Wow!! I’m impressed! I’m from Pennsylvania and for the past 2 years I been craving Spanish food. Hector, very very helpful and I felt nothing but positive energy from when I walked to when I walked out. 10/10
Best pernil around the area
Awesome place to eat Puerto Rican food.
El Coqui Puerto Rican Restaurant is a hidden gem that brings a unique twist to traditional Puerto Rican cuisine. Every dish is crafted with bold southern flavors, giving a fresh yet comforting experience. What truly sets El Coqui apart is their innovative use of tapioca in all their dishes, adding a distinct texture and depth to classic recipes.
From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The staff is friendly and passionate about their food, eager to recommend their signature dishes. The mofongo, infused with tapioca, is a must-try—perfectly seasoned and incredibly satisfying. The pernil is tender and juicy, bursting with rich, slow-cooked flavors.
If you’re looking for an authentic yet creative take on Puerto Rican cuisine, El Coqui is the place to be. It’s a spot where tradition meets innovation, making every bite a delightful surprise. Highly recommended!
I work at security hill And I park in the parking lot across the street from this restaurant but for some reason the GPS picks me up as being there. I went there several times Years ago it was very nice I enjoyed it.
I'm a truck driver and wanted some great food. I was recommended this place and it definitely did not disappoint! When ever I'm in San Antonio...I know this is the spot for outstanding food. Service was amazing.
The staff provided excellent and attentive service, and the food was fresh.
We went for the first time, I’m Puerto Rican and I approve this is very delicious food. For lunch we had the buffet options( very affordable)
And ur included unlimited salad bread and desert. They cooked fresh food for us since when we came all the food at the buffet was nearly empty. I say for the exceptional service of cooking us fresh food and we came back for seconds and are super full n satisfied. This made my day.
I’m from jersey city n I’m pregnant, I can be picky.
I totally recommend. It’s worth the trip if u don’t live close.
We will definitely return and enjoy some more.

I spent 7 weeks at BMT and graduated and all I wanted was food from my island. This place did NOT disappoint. I ordered the chuletas with rice and tostones and it was so good!! Just like my grandma makes them.
Fantastic lunch spot. Rice, beans, pork, plantains... Almost felt like health food but tasted fantastic.
