Came here for the first time today and the owner was one of the friendliest guys ever met. Snagged a Cuban sando and he gave me a sample of his favorite dish while I waited. 10/10 will be back!

Absolutely great tasting Puerto Rican food, better than some other places that I've tried in town. My go to place, ranks 1st place in my book.

Do not sleep on this gem! My first time trying PR food, and the staff was so helpful! I tried the pernil and the pollo guisado, and both were so savory and delicious with deep flavors. Loved the arroz con gandules and tried the platanos both ways! Both meats were juicy and tender; cooked just right. Oh and that potato salad hit too, as well as the habenero hot sauce and creamy garlicky sauce for dipping the platanos. Omg I can’t wait to go back. Such a hearty, satisfying, mouth-watering meal perfect all year-round but especially for when these temperatures dip.

Straight up, the best Cuban sandwich in Austin.
Fried pork and rice was a hit and the habanero hot sauce was unreal too.

It’s hard finding good Puerto Rican food, coming from Chicago. This has to be the closest I had from home. The smell was mouthwatering and the food was so flavorful. I recommend anyone looking for some good Puerto Rican food! WEPA

Bein from the east coast I was ready for some good Puerto Rican food. I miss my abuela’s home cooking!! I got the Pernil. It was really delicious! Not dry at all. Sadly, I felt the rice was bland. I also got a chicken empanada. It was ok. The atmosphere was cool. Good location. Staff was friendly and welcoming! Cute seating area, plenty of room.

Absolutely amazing!!! I’m from Puerto Rico and this food took me back. Do not sleep on this place, it’s soooo good! The mofongo with pernil and arroz con gandules is to die for. I will come back as often as I can.

This by far is the best Puerto Rican food I have had since I moved from the East Coast. I’ve tried other Puerto Rican food trucks in the area and nothing compares. Nothing on my plate was greasy for once!, The rice was perfectly seasoned and fresh. Tostones were not dry, rather fluffy and delicious, carne frita was cooked well and not fatty, and the potato salad was refreshing and the perfect addition to my meal. For a small food truck they are pumping out big flavor! Thank you El Coqui! Can’t wait to come back.

First time trying Puerto Rican food and it didn't disappoint. I ordered Pernil (slow roasted pork) and it was very savory.
