Puerto Rico Café

It was my first time here. I found them while scrolling on Instagram. Food Ordered: Pernil Arroz con gandules Maduros Empanadillas con carne This place is a take out spot run out of a trailer. It's basically a food truck. Parking is very limited (about 5 spots total plus street parking). I arrived there on a Saturday around 2pm and there was a line of people waiting to order. I had to wait around 40 minutes to place my order. Someone did come out and offer everyone a complimentary cheese dish which was very good. After placing my order, I received my order in about 5-7 minutes. When I was able to eat my food, I started with the empanadillas con carne. They were very good. The dough was fried to perfection and was filled with a generous amount of ground beef. The ground beef was seasoned

We drove 2 hours from Richmond, Virginia, and I must say—we ABSOLUTELY loved this place! The food was a true taste of Puerto Rico, full of authentic flavor. The staff was incredibly pleasant and welcoming; they made us feel right at home. ¡Que viva Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 QDMLB (May God bless you all)!

Very authentic flavors, reminds me of home every time we eat there. The seasoning on the pernil is on point and the weekly specials are welcome additions to the regular menu, whether it's mofongo or ensalada de carrucho. They got you covered with frituras and dulces (alcapurrias and quesitos ftw). Plus they have natural fruit juices, like acerola and parcha! The only ding is the wait time when ordering, but the food is always worth it. Just need to keep that in mind on days when it's 90°+

Unfortunately. I didnt have an opportunity to try the food. This review is purely based on customer service, and the fact that today, Feb 7, myself and 3 other customers waited outside in the cold for 20mins to attempt to make an order. They did not allow orders by phone, and after waiting, we were told they only had "carne frita & corn beef". Food ran out? - not a problem, it happens. Im glad they are able to consistantly deliver a good meal and sell out. Where i digress is the fact that you witnessed us standing outsode for that period. And never did they once offer a solution, or come back in 10 mins and we'll take your order, or say hey we eill potentially run out of the main food options... we later found out they are swamped with orders for tomorrow's superbowl.... again, fantastic,

I love Puerto Rico Cafe. The pernil and arroz con gandules are my favorite. So flavorful!!! This trip I also got the alitas. Again, flavorful and delicious. I love love love the food. You can tell it’s made with love. I’ve lived in VA for over 20 years and am so happy to have found delicious Puerto Rican food.
