I enjoyed the lunch special of orange chicken w/fried rice & eggroll. It was tasty & a large portion. Good value for your dollar! Looks spotlessly clean & the staff (owner?) super friendly. It’s inside the gas station store so it’s to go & delivery orders only, or there are 2 picnic tables outside. I’ll be going back to try other menu items. This is a great addition to our Leon Springs/Fair Oaks Ranch community.

Called before going because it wasn’t clear if they had indoor seating or not. There are 2 tables in the middle of the gas station. The tables were both dirty. The mofongo had good flavor. I asked if the seafood mofongo came with salsa criolla, was told yes. It was salsa al ajillo, not criolla. The food was served in to go containers. Eating mofongo out of a to go container was not ideal and made the experience a little frustrating. The crab rangoons seemed to be fried in old oil, we didn’t really eat them. Drinks have to be purchased at the gas station, was not told and found out after asking. Moderately disappointed. PR chinese rice does not have peas. All to say, the mofongo had good flavor, but the overall experience was underwhelming, especially for the price. Sadly a no on returning.

Gas station business. Food was great. Owner offers amazing customer service (keep in mind this is a damn gas station restaurant). Owner offered samples and the lemonade was the perfect ratio of lemon:sugar:water. Y SI, si es una buena aproximación a los chinos de PR.

This may be San Antonio Puerto Rican food but it’s definitely NOT Puerto Rico-Puerto Rican or Nuyorican Chinese food in the least.
The service, when we walked up was not as friendly as others have experienced. The glass in front of the warming table was dirty and the chicharrones under the heat lamp looked dry.
Fried rice and lo mein are $1.25 extra. At a Chinese takeout. It was insane to pay more for mediocre, HARD fried rice that was absolutely not Puerto Rican-style fried rice. It tasted like it was a day old, it was so hard. If you’re selling yourself as Boricua Chinese food then give us the ham, ribs, onion, and lettuce like it should be. That or serve stir-fried rice that’s fresh and not old.
We ordered the two meat plate; one with pepper steak and ribs, the other with Mongolian beef and chicharron de pollo and the birria eggrolls. The ribs shouldn’t be sold. The breading is gummy, not crispy, the meat was dry, and the sauce is over-seasoned with Chinese five spice or some other ungodly spice that overwhelmed the palate. Whatever that anise-five spice situation is needs to be scaled back or eliminated. The amount of spice on the ribs is the complete opposite of PR or NY costillas, spicy instead of sweet and sour. The pepper steak was okay, but you can tell it never touched a wok. The meat lacked that caramelization. I think they should start truly stir frying their meats. The chicharron de pollo was the only menu item that tasted like it was “Puerto Rican,” it was well seasoned and the chicken was decent, a little on the dry side. The Mongolian beef was beef with broccoli so that was a wash. They need to ensure they’re serving the customers what they ordered or prepare the food the traditional way so there are no surprises. The birria egg rolls were rolled too small, which means the inside of the egg roll was gummy. If they rolled them a little bigger there wouldn’t be excess wrapper inside. The consommé it came with has globs of fat floating in it but was decent.
I’m bummed because we went hoping to have a new place that would bring a taste of home. Unfortunately, I can’t bring myself to go back because it just wasn’t worth the money.

The food was amazing and the service was great. We tried the fried rice, birria egg rolls, tostones, mofongo de carne frita & mofongo de chicharron de pollo. Everything was awesome. We will definitely be back.

This food is actually so damn good. My husband is Puerto Rican, so we know authentic cuisine. And this place is a good mix. The mofongo is so good and the tostones are like home. I hope one day this place could get their own space for a small restaurant bc they deserve one! So good

The food is good. Unique, for sure. The only thing would be great if the staff would be able to interact with us. The food is unique, and not one person asked if we needed help with the menu. You would want to help your customers with the menu… but the food was made quickly. At least we tried it!

I must say…. AMAZING. I ordered “el surtido caribeño” which could feed 2-3 people easy. The bolitas de mofongo were soooo delicious it was hard to share them. I normally eat tostones and mofongo with “mayo ketchup” but this was filled with so much flavor I didn’t even need it. The Latin wontons were exactly what I expected… delicious! The carne frita wasn’t dry and chewy like you’d expect, it was so good. And the chicharrón de pollo was my daughters favorite. I will definitely go back!!
