Always a fantastic experience at this hidden gem!! Great authentic tasting food! Very flavorful with generous portions. Prices are moderate. Small quaint establishment but they can accommodate for large parties of maybe 15 or 20 ppl. Service is a bit slow at times. Ive usually seen about 2 waiters for the entire place. But the FOOD makes up for the service for sure!! Management is always present and they are very friendly and approachable. Check this place out....conveniently located across Lackland AFB on Military/Whitewood intersection.

Despues de estar decepcionado por los supuestos restaurantes boricuas en San Antonio, tengo que decir que este sitio me reanudó la esperanza y es delicioso. La dueña es muy amable y la cocinera tiene tremendo talento. Gracias. Volveré pronto.

Amazing food. I was shocked. The area is less than desirable and it looks a bit rough on the outside but the food was just phenomenal. And the place was packed. If you go, you have to try the chicken and the flan. I will be going back for sure. I would have rated 5 stars if it were in a better area.

I always like coming here when I get the chance. Staff is friendly and prompt, the buffet (all I get) is always great and the owner is personable. Def worth checking out. A bit expensive, but I think its worth it. Enjoy.

The owner was very nice and welcoming. Very informative as far as the menu was concerned. Got food out in a timely manner and took time out of his day to talk with me while my food was being prepared. Hats off to Hector!

I am originally from Puerto Rico. Out of all the puerto rican restaurants that Ive tried in San Antonio, El Coqui is by far the one with the best authentic puerto rican flavor period!

The food was different because I had not had Puerto Rican food. They were great explaining what was in the food and helped me decide. I love these meat pies they have. Really yummy!

Really good Puerto Rican food! Right outside of Lackland AFB. My husband craved PR food after the 8 weeks he spent in basic and it satisfied his craving for sure

Some of the best pork Ive ever had! The traditional rice is spiced perfectly, and the house sauce is so good he had to start bottling it to prevent theft! haha

First of all, the owners are the salt of the Earth. Secondly, the food is outrageously delicious. And the sauce...the SAUCE! Youll love this restaurant.

Great rice, chicken, pork ribs, pork shoulder all in a buffet. They even deliver out to Potranco if you order around 30 dollars.
