Antojitos Boricuas

It was good, but I've had better. I just compare all Puerto Rican food to my parents and grandparents cooking so I'm just a little picky. I'm also the gringa of the family since I wasn't born & raised in Puerto Rico so take what I say with a grain of salt.Anyway, I was lured in by the note on the menu of bacalaitos. Unfortunately they didn't have any so I had to choose other menu items. They have taken it off the menu since that time so I guess I will never get to taste them. I love these cod fritters so much and I was excited to see it, but was let down again on my second visit. I ended up getting the platter of mofongo with fried pork chunks. This had a lot of flavor and the meat was somewhat tender. The only con was that some of the pieces were super salty so it wasn't evenly salted. The mofongo had a nice garlic taste. It wasn't as hard as others I've had, but it wasn't soft either. Mofongo is a heavy dish made of mashed plantains but my favorite version is the trifongo which they don't have. I like the addition of sweet plantains which gives it a smoother texture and sweet and savory flavor. They don't offer this nor do they offer maduros. I wish they had maduros as a side dish instead of tostones but they don't. Otherwise, it was a good dish and I would order it again. The flavors were all there.For my second visit, I got the camarones with rice & gandules and tostones. The tostones were fried perfectly and not greasy. The rice was just basic. I'm used to having all kinds of sofrito goodness in my rice. Mom made it with olives and capers and included recao. Okay, maybe this is old school Puerto Rican but I remember mom picking a leaf off the recao plant and adding it to the sofrito. So the rice was basic to me. The camarones were a little overcooked but had good flavor. The Kola Champagne was a cool find. It tastes kind of like a bubble gum soda. I'd get that again.I'll go back for more visits and update my review as needed. It's great to have more Puerto Rican food in the area. I'm seeing more food trucks pop up, but this one seems to have more of a variety. They are located on Pauls Drive near Brandon Oriental Market as of this writing. They have moved a couple of times so do check their Facebook page. I will go back to try the frappes and pastelillos.

We had Churrasco with Mofongo and Churrasco with Arroz Con graduales. Tasty however I expected a while Churrasco not tips. The Pulpo salad was good but lacked lime juice. The Alcapurrias were on point!

Very tasty authentic puertorican food, so glad to have one nearby. The food truck is currently located in a parking lot and there is an outdoor tent area with a few benches. I ordered the mofongo munchies and it could probably feed 2-3 adults, very large portions.

Great food, each time I get something off their menu I'm shocked how it all tastes amazing! Authentic Puerto Rican food and the best I've had hands down in Florida!!

Viaje 10 minutos para comprar unas alcapurias y unos bacalaitos pero ellos no tienen ningún tipo de frituras en el menú.

Food is delicious!!! Service was quick. Love the location and vibe. Looking to go back soon.

I buy frappe strawberry and the taste was the worst ever and have a plastic on the drink

Truly I hate to be this person but after I took a bite of the sandwich I had to throw away the entire other half the meat had a tuna texture when I was supposed to be a 3 meat and it had a horrible!!!! Smell . My boyfriend is originally from Puerto Rico and even he couldn't come to terms to eating the food , he was very disappointed just as much as I was , me and him are open to trying different food trucks in the area and the best one we have found is in Ruskin , I just hope someone reads this and doesn't risk going to this location. Again I'm not sure if it was just a bad day for these people but wasn't worth now having a horrible after taste .

No need to order ahead, they will wait for you to arrive to start making order. Waited 15 minutes

La comida de este lugar supo excelente y rica. La gente fue simpática e hizo la comida rápidamente. El ambiente y la música mejoró y complementó la experiencia. Realmente recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera que quiere comida boricua deliciosa.
