The TexaRican512

I've eaten here a few times now. The owner is very welcoming and will have a chat with you. He even gave me something to munch on while I waited for my food which was amazing. Bad Bunny being at the super bowl really had me missing the comforts of home and this food brings back so many fond memories eating the exact same things surrounded by family. I will definitely be returning anytime I'm feeling a little home sick and need some comfort food.

The Chuletas and Rice was *chefs kiss* oh so good!! The meat was juicy and tender, the white rice cooked to perfection. Prices are fair and worth it for the mouth-gasm. I'll be coming back soon!

Thanks for the great food and chat today. Went w my sister for first time from Cedar Park. Got 2 carne frita plates and 1 fried chicken plate. All was still hot and fresh tasting when i got back home. My 88 year old mom has cancer and could not come but got her a plate. She loved the carne frita and found the mofongo moist and soft how she likes it. Rest of family loved it all. Just recommend to have some Puerto Rican desserts. Highly recommended w great owner conversation today. Will come back for sure!!!!!! Buen provecho!

I'm so happy I found this place. The owners are lovely and the food is tasty. I ordered the Carna frita mofongo plate and a side of tostones, so good. The mofongo was especially fire!

The TexaRican512 is hands-down one of the best spots for Puerto Rican food in Austin. The flavors are authentic, portions are generous, and you can tell everything is made with care. The pernil is tender and flavorful, the pollo guisado & bistec is perfectly SEASONED, and the sides round out the meal beautifully. On top of that, the owner is a local, which makes supporting this place even better. Friendly service, fair prices, and real Puerto Rican comfort food — can’t beat it.
