Delicious food, well attended, authentic puertorican food

First time eating here and I felt as if the food was coming out of my mother's kitchen. The atmosphere was on point and the service was perfect. Looking forward to coming back. Thank you!

The food was good. Server had a great personality but management and host have no customer service skills. We went in for the chillo(fried red snapper) they didn't have any. They didn't have any octopus. So we ordered the churrasco which comes with chimichurri. Once 2 of the orders came out we were told they didn't have chimichurri. We received the sorullitos at the end of the meal when we ordered it as a starter. I can't say I'm surprised with the service I received. As a Puerto Rican I've been to many Puerto Rican restaurants in Texas and most of them don't know how to provide customer service. Which is a shame knowing how well we treat everyone back on the island. All I can say from my experience I will never be back to this place and I won't be recommending it to anyone.

Food was delicious, we ate the rest the next day and dam it was just as good 😊

I ordered arroz con gandules, pernil, pollo asado, and maduros from El Pilon for a gathering of 30 people, and everything was absolutely incredible! The food was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and tasted truly authentic—just like home cooking. Every guest went back for seconds (and thirds!), and we couldn’t stop talking about how good it was.
The team at El Pilon was also fantastic—friendly, professional, and made the entire ordering process easy from start to finish. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone craving real Puerto Rican food in San Antonio. Five stars all the way!
