The gentleman and owner of this store have been in business for many years. It has been my experience of his kind and straightforward professionalism. I needed ingredients traveling from the Dominion area and he was willing to wait after business hours so we could purchase what we needed. Great products and for those who know the supply chain industries I would say that prices are fairly priced considering the specific products he carries and the niche market he serves. I hope to see shops like this continue and would rather support them than big-box stores. Thank you Sir for your what you do!

Just called to ask if they sell 3 certain traditional Caribbean food items. The woman who answered had trouble understanding what I was asking for. It was obvious English wasn't her 1st language, so I spoke clearly and spelled one word she might not have recognized (it was new to me, too). She was very rude from the moment she said hello, very short-answered, and (because I had already asked for 2 things she doesn't sell) she hung up on me as I was speaking the 3rd and final request like she just didn't have the time of day for me. I had never been here before and NEVER will now.

I love the store and service . A bit expensive side . Needs improvement though like Fresh produce imports from Puerto Rico. If the prices were lesser than more people will come. To Bring in more customers. You must advertise because most people don't know about your store. Low prices and good quality foods , fresh produce and items from Puerto Rico that is not available anywhere else would help your business flourish. Take my advice. Then you can later on expand to a supermarket. Thank you for your politeness and service. .

Vivo en Texas y se lo dificil que es conseguir productos puertorriqueños aqui. Encontre este lugar a 4 horas de donde vivo, llamo para pedir informacion antes de decidir hacer el vieaje. Contesta un caballero y crei que se desconecto la llamada, vuevlo a llamar, contesta el mismo caballero con mala actitud y vuelve a colgar. Quizas tuvo un mal dia pero los negocios se mantienen por los clientes que aprecian tu servicio. Suerte con tu serviocio al cliente, el boricua se conoce por servicial, creo que no eres uno de nosotros.

  • Terry Mojica

They have the necessary stuff to cook authentic Puerto Rican food. High prices yes but considering transportation of stuff I don't mind, why I gave it 1 star was the guy started scanning while I was.still grabbing things from the SHELF. I THINK HE OVERCHARGED I ask for a receipt it's not label like any other store. I ASKED him to explain and could not accurately do it. IF IT WASNT THAT I NEEDED THE PRODUCTS FOR NEW YEARS DINNER I AM NOT GOING BACK.

  • Jessica Wagner

This place has a few Puerto Rican items but the prices are super high. I wish I could go back often and visit Killeen, Texas Bell county because now they have a store full of all kinds of latin good especially Puerto Rican goodies. I honestly i rather waste my head go by to Killeen visit friends and go to the store over there

1.The prices are too high 2. You go to the store and he don’t even knowledge that you are there no even a Hi or good morning we didn’t buy anything because was too expensive we said Have a Good day before we left and he didn’t replay or even wave or smile, so customer service is something very important.

  • Brittany La

They have all the products for cooking Jamaican meals. But the prices are WAY too expensive. My suggestion is to make the price is more reasonable and they would have more customers And less food they have to throw away because it expired because they can’t sell it because it’s too expensive.

  • Ann Hessbrook

My first visit to Boricua’s. I had been searching for tapas para empanadas for over a week. This market had three types! I bought one of each. The owner was very kind and offered my unruly toddler a treat to let me shop in peace. Definitely worth the 25 min drive here. …

  • Ann77 Car

I'm a Jamaican... They're a lot of store that sell Jamaican product but when I find this one store the Barbacoa foods market on Redman in San Antonio Texas I was happy ..it got the real Jamaican stuff... Manager is so nice he'll help you with your grocery to your car

  • Stephany Carrero

Me gustó pude encontrar el chocolate que por tanto tiempo llevo buscando. Los precios regular ya que hay algunos productos los consigues más económico en HEB pero de todas formas me gustó. Me encantaría que hubiera más variedad en productos.

  • Maria Perez

Very upset - took in my friend to buy pasteles because she really wanted some to share with her family for Christmas. They charged her $35/ dz and were 1/2 the size of what my grandma used to make and sell them them for. Most of the time

  • Patsy Baez

SUPER EXPENSIVE!! NO NEED TO RIP US OFF, I found a better PR store!! On Culebra Road, La Garita, prices are a little better but the Pastels are awesome!! You can eat there too, the people are Not Rude there and don't scam you

  • Desiree Love

Not only is this store my connection to all of my native foods. The owner is one of the nicest gentlemen I've met since moving to Texas. It doesn't bother me to come across town with service they give. I LOVE this place!!!!

  • Javier Rivera

Nice place, but a bit overpriced. A few things I've picked up have also been expired by several months, but apart from that it's a nice place to get your Caribbean fix. The couple who own the location are both very friendly

  • RRH

Five star Kimchi - the best I've tasted in years. Owner told me his mother in law grows the red Korean peppers and its abundantly clear. The complexity, depth of flavours, and texture is unmatched.

  • Stephanie Fonseca

If you know, you know. I get that prices are high, but you cannot find a lot of their shelf items in other stores. The owner was super nice and fair. Will be coming here a lot more.

  • Janie Ruiz

They have a good variety of goods I use so to make my Puerto Rican rice. Most of all their pasteles are Ssoooo good Ssooooo Delicious. I will be goin back for Sure

  • Shanasea Gunnels

3 stars they have all a lot of puerto rican products but the prices are very expensive they are literally charging 3 to 4 times of what the products is worth.

  • Lydia Perez

Love Puerto Rican products just to expensive the prices are ridiculous it's like triple the amount if the sold products cheaper they would get more customer

Rude and unprofessional wife. Pleasent and professional husband, sister, and nephew. Caribbean items are always in stock. Items are extremely overpriced.

Best place for Puerto Rican foods and offers a great selection of products as well as ready made foods. They bring a bit of the island here.

  • Maria Hobson

This store has everything that my Puerto Rican heritage likes to eat. Cooked food also sold. And it belongs to my dear father. …

  • Dan Austin

I like trying new things, which makes this place very resourceful. Only issue is, not everything is very clear/understandable.

Was happy with the pasteles at first..but now they just too small for the price being paid..starting to look elsewhere.
