This is definitely NOT Puerto Rican Food. It’s GROSS! They have an apron with Puerto Rican pic on it (That’s the ONLY thing on Puerto Rico). The music is NOT what Puerto Ricans listen to, the food was horrible. The rice was cooked in a rice cooker, the beans were canned beans with zero flavor, the empanadas were absolutely horrible. The health rating is 93.5 eewwwww

Omg the food is amazing. I hadthe cuban sandwich and my son had the Tripleta sandwich. My boyfriend ordered the Coqui platter. Everything was delicious including our crispy pork belly appetizer with guava sauce. Very very busy place, but the young man at register was super sweet. The customer service is great. We even ordered food to go.

My husband and I are travel nurses from South florida so naturally coming to another state we were craving some Cuban food. We decided to try this restaurant out. When I tell you that the flavors were so spot on. I kept taking bites and closing my eyes, imagining I was back home. We cant wait to come back. Thank you for putting so much love in your meals.

Delicious food and large portions. My husband and I could have easily shared the El Coqui platter but didn’t realize this so ordered our own bowls (RDU to San Juan) and had so much leftover. The tostones were great too! Will be a go-to take out spot for us in the future.

Tried 3 kinds of empanadas: abuelas chicken, the cheese pizza, and pork. I only liked the pork and thought it was decently filled. The cheese empanada one was mostly air, barely any filling and tasted barely of cheese or pizza. Bland!

Really easy place to get a relatively quick bite to eat. I was certainly surprised by the amount of food you get with the omelets.
