Everything in Texas could be considered good when you're from where I'm from. But there is a difference in this puerto Rican food than the rest of Texas. The authenticity, the fresh taste, the options. This genuine taste, genuine cooks, and genuine choices does not go unnoticed. So much food we split plates every time we go.

That place is so warm, and the food is just okay. All 6 us were not impressed at all. It is different from having so many Mexican restaurants near, so it does breaks that monotonous palate. For 1 Combo and a Drink it's $14.

Amazing and authentic Puerto Rico restaurant. Very friendly and attentive staff with a wonderful atmosphere. I ordered the shrimp Trifongo and it was absolutely fantastic. U highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting soon with my friends and family.

I had a very delicious lunch here. We had VERY quick service which made it easy for us to get back to the office before our lunch break was up. I will definitely be back!

This place never disappoints. The food is awesome and the prices aren't bad. This is a plate of pernil with arroz con gandules, salad, maduros and I also had black beans. We will be back for sure.Update: Came back after a few years and the food has gotten even better. Now it was like a buffet style and you can order individual plates. It was so good.

Great place to enjoy your favorite Puertorican meal. There are many options available. The restaurant is clean, and the employees are great attending to people. Good variety of drinks as well. Many different types of Mofongos to choose from. La Tripleta was really good, juicy. They also have a Buffet style menu if you are in a hurry.

Staff was friendly and nice. The waitress explained the food options very well. The chicken and food was delicious! I would recommend the rotisserie chicken with mofongo.Update: I went back for a second time. I ordered the tacos, which when served had some cold meat. I don't recommend the fried chicken, it was dry and I couldn't even eat any more than a bite. Their traditional rice was delicious.I would recommend to choose from the menu wisely if you decide to eat here.

Delicious!!! ? came here years ago with a different owner & it was ok. This owners taste is much better. Lady in the front welcomes each person walking in each time! Love that they always have pasteles,, although Delicious, I would have liked it to be a tad bigger. Wish they stayed open later than 7

If you want great tasting food from the Caribe this is the place! Food and service was great. The dining room could use some improvement but honestly I was here for the flavor not esthetics. Great music, delicious food and friendly staff!

Terrible customer service. It was our first time there and we arrived right before a group of about five people. We walked up to the front counter and no one was there so we waited for someone to help us. No one came right away so we grabbed some menus and sat down because we were going to dine in. As soon as we did the group of five people walked in right after us then the lady who works there came out from the kitchen and started helping them. She didn’t even notice that we were new and sitting there right across from the front counter from her even though the place is very small and there was only one other customer in the restaurant already seated before us. One of the five people started ordering and I spoke up and told her that we arrived before them. She didn’t understand English because the other customer had to tell her in Spanish what I said. I repeated what the other customer told her. She basically told us that the other customers were getting their food to go so she was planning on taking their order before ours. I said I don’t have time for that, we were here first and I have to go to work after so we got up and left. This place was a waste of our time. We went and bought the same food to go somewhere else nearby with better and faster service and reasonable prices and the food was delicious.

First time here was on a Monday! Service was great!! I love the monfongo! Authentic Puerto Rican food I'm half Cuban so this is the closest restaurant to eat for me whenever I'm craving Cuban food!
