BEST Puerto Rican food in the state of Texas the service was incredible…but the FOOD!!??? It was seriously life changing and so flavorful! Most places sacrifice seasoning, but not here!!!! It was also so affordable!! Just like the island Support this amazing family business!!! (Side note, best taco place in the same parking lot called “Tacos del Norte,” couldn’t find their page but go check them out!!)

Just finished shoveling this food down my gullet and I couldn’t be happier.
To set the scene: we live 40 minutes away but I wanted to try El Meson Boricua ever since I saw a photo of their Puerto Rican-style Chinese spare ribs tips. Take all my gas because the drive was worth it. There’s a big parking and a clean eating area for those who decide eat their food there.
The young lady taking out was personable and helpful in answering questions. One of the owners, Carlos, offered a sample of their cuajito (stewed pork stomach), something my husband has been craving lately. It was marvelous and I began to have hope this would be a good portent of what was to come.
They have the traditional PR menus but we settled on pernil (garlicky-roasted pork shoulder) and the spare ribs tips. Both came with two sides so we asked for arroz con gandules (rice w. pigeon peas), macaroni salad, and tostones (twice fried mashed green plantains). The total, with tip, was less than $35.
The arroz con gandules is truly authentic. Properly colored and seasoned beautifully. I would’ve like a little more gandules as well as their flavor, but the rice is spot on.
The pernil was a smidge dry, but tender and seasoned expertly. The rib tips had that PR Chinese flavor of season and a warmly spiced sweetness. The macaroni salad was a little curdled from whatever acid they use but was, as everything else, seasoned to the Gods.
Finally, the tostones were some of the best I’ve had anywhere. They have a light pillowy texture after you bite through the crispy, almost flaky exterior. They were salted and drizzled with a green sauce that gave sofrito-chimichurri vibes.
Carlos and Lucy are doing the damn thing out of this little truck. So far it’s the best Puerto Rican food I’ve had in San Antonio AND Austin.

Was driving home when I had the taste for some Puerto Rican food and found this little charm in a parking lot! Stopped and ordered the chicken chicharones and mofongo w/salad! Food was hot, tasteful, and got my emptied stomach full and satisfied! They were very nice and took my order within minutes of arriving. One down side is that they don’t have any seating area and unless you wait inside your car or someone else’s car, you’ll be waiting/eating under the hot sun! The meals are reasonable priced.

3.5 stars. I like the mofongo with chicharon but it was average according to my PR in-laws. The chicharon de pollo & empanadilla de carne was good, but the empanadillas de pollo were very dried. The biggest problem was we have to wait 2 hrs for a big to go order, which was initially estimated to be 1 hr. The tostones were pretty soft once we got back to the house.

Today I had the pleasure of dining at El Meson Boricua, and I must say, it is an experience worth sharing. From the moment I got there, the warm ambiance and friendly welcome from Lucie and Carlos set the stage for what turned out to be a fantastic meal.
I ordered the Mofongo with garlic shrimp and it exceeded my expectations. The shrimp and plantain mash was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seasoning struck the right balance, and you could tell they use high quality ingredients.
The portion size was just right, leaving me satisfied without feeling overly full. Paired with fresh salad and the delicious mayoketchup.
Overall, El Meson Boricua delivered on taste, presentation, and service. Whether you’re a fan of puertorican food or just looking for a great grub spot, I highly recommend giving it a try!
Would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

First time trying out Puerto Rican food from this food truck. It tasted just like where I was raised in Panama. Caribbean style. You can taste the humbling and homemade love put into this plate of food. Great job making the empanadas on the spot, fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. Don’t forget the patacones with a hint of ketchup. The only thing that I can provide some criticism is on the salad, maybe a small drizzle of oil, vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt, but then I’m not an expert in how Puerto Ricans eat their salad.
Overall, avoid trash fast food restaurants and support your local food truck who is putting out some quality food.

Looking for a meal that will transport you directly to Puerto Rico then stop at El Meson Boricua. The service is like no other, the food is amazing, and if you’re into hosting parties hire them to do your catering you will be satisfied from start to finish.

Best mofongo I’ve had. And I have tried a lot of places and nobody makes it as good as them. The chicharron de pollo too, it was delicious. Had their food yesterday for the first time and it was so good that I had to go back and get me some more today. Also, the owners are very nice and friendly. Really liked it a lot

Absolutely Love this place!!! My favorite Puerto Rican food hands down. The customer service is wonderful and food is always better when you know it’s made fresh and with love! Wonderful people and literally the best tripletas I have ever had! Tostones with the salsa ajo is absolute fire.
