El Pilón Sabor Boricua

Nothing has changed since the last time I've eaten here. If anything, it tastes better. The food, service, and atmosphere here is amazing. Someone's grandmother is still in the back cooking up delicious meals. Every time I come to San Antonio, I will eat here.

We been here a few times now and it's hit every time!!! I get my normal cuban sandwich w/ fried plantain and extraaaa mayoketchup pero my bf got the tripleta sandwhich because he wanted to be different and loved it -- it's steak, pork, and ham... he said it was super flavorful but not salty which was the perfect amount of seasoning accomplished in a sandwhich w/ three meats LolAs always, they don't disappoint and have good service. They always joke with us or laugh surprised that I speak Spanish.. feels very "homey" in here and the food is similar to something ya mother would cook!

The way you order your food was set up a bit strange. The food was already prepared and set up kinda buffet style behind the glass so it was ready very quickly which worked out well for the amount of time we had for lunch. Lunch special for $8.99, Perfect amount of food, fast, delicious, and a great price!Dark meat chicken 10/10Skin was seasoned beautifully, chicken was tender and moist. Delicious.Salad 10/10Just some lettuce and a slice of tomato. Nice little touch of freshness on the plateWhite rice 10/10It was seasoned a bit, just the perfect amount of salt I think.Plantains 8/10Sliced whole. Delicious, soft and sweet, not super crispy or anything (I know some places do them a little crispier on the outside). Opted to not have any beans

This was a new place that was an unexpected foodie experience. The waitress was so helpful in describing the different menu items (loved the authentic accent). The pork carnitas were so flavorful and seasoned so well. The rice, black beans, Yuka, and fried Maduro (plantain) had the most unique flavors. The sauces were something new but enjoyable. Definitely, be back for more!

I will definitely be returning!!!!! This place has some amazing food. The service was pleasant and the ambiance was great. The music was at a great volume. Yes yes and yes. Thank God it didn't take me long to find a good Puerto Rican restaurant!

Came for a quick with the wifey. I always see this place and decided to finally give it a shot. I ordered the churassco and my wife got the steak Mofongo. The churassco was spot on. Very soft, juicy and flavorful. Decent size cut of meat too. This plate was 5 stars on its own The steak mofongo was disappointing. Was very dry and bland. The mofongo itself was ok, not bad but not great. Service was a bit lacking as we never got checked on. Still, the lunch special they had looks like the best deal and I will come back to try it out.

Excellent service, clean restaurant, clean bathrooms... delicious food with great prices. Best Puerto Rican in San Antonio !!!I love this place and the food is amazing!

Really good food.If you're near the post gate at Fort Sam Houston, this restaurant is a wonderful place to fill up for lunch .For $8 you will get a plate loaded with rice (with pigeon peas, Spanish, or white) , your choice of beans (red or black) and your choice of meat(s)... pernil (pork shoulder), roasted chicken, carne picadillos...and a side of platanos maduros.I've tried their tacos, tiras, and mofongo and chicharron plates. It's all delicious.The staff are always friendly. The drinks, if from the fountain, are bottomless.Plenty of parking directly in front and to the side of the restaurant.This place gets pretty busy at lunch, but the tables cycle fast and there's plenty of room

The food was delicious Definitely recommend. Good prices. Nice ambiance, make you feel at home. Friendly services. Overall loved the restaurant.

If you're looking for a savory place for Puertorrican food, this is the place.The sandwiches do not disappoint. The Cuban sandwich, empanadillas and other delicacies are just fantastic.They are friendly and inviting making sure you enjoy your culinary experience with them.More than recommend, I would invite you to come visit and try their menu.
