Tex-rican - Killeen

Am going to San Juan in a few weeks so i had authentic Puerto Rican food on my mind and decided to try this place in Killeen. Very impressive. Friendlly service, nice music playing, and good food. I had Shrimp mofongo in garlic sauce. Also ordered a shrimp salad with coconut water. Let's just say I was stuffed and couldn't eat it all. The setup is a little confusing whereas you can order stuff that is already prepared like on a buffet or you can order stuff that they will have to prepare in the kitchen. If you're unsure about what to order or how to order, there will be someone friendly and happy to help you and explain everything to you. It felt like a nice mom-and-pop's business.

As soon as I came in they greeted me and explained all on the menu. Great customer service, cleanliness is on point. Music is great, the food is authentic tasting. I had arroz con longoniza de pollo, BBQ ribs, guineaos en escabeche con pegaito. The other 2 plates are rice beans, pollo guisao, maduros, yuca and pernil.

I really enjoyed my experience at this place, the staff is sweet, helpful, and friendly. The restaurant itself is small but charmingly decorated and clean. The setup is like a lubys cafeteria style so all you do is pick out a protein, starch, and vegetable. The menu is posted outside the door on the window which I found to be a bit confusing but I really didn't mind because it was a relatively nice day outside and the menu is simple. The plantains were sweet and savory, nothing was dry or cold which is pretty tough to maintain when you have a cafeteria style setting but I suspect the food doesn't stay on the line long bc they seem to have a decent crowd of people in there ordering. I'm not really familiar with Puerto Rican food so I wasn't sure what to order but the ladies behind the counter were more then happy to explain things and helped me pick out a few things and a desert. The food was bomb yall. I highly recommend coming out and supporting this small owned business. I think its a great addition of variety, QUALITY, places to eat in Killeen.

Food was delicious and the staff were very helpful! Definitely would go back again.

I decided to stop by after paying rent. Realizing that we will off the next day. I decided to try it out cause I never had it before. I was assisted by the nice guy behind the counter because, I didn 't know what to get. I first plate 'no pics ' was fried rice, Port Rican biscuit and beef. It was lite on my stomach and very delicious, very delicious. Even if you don 't have a clue of what to get they will help you with smiles. I will be going back there. Strawberry cake, fried chicken, fries and fried rice but with port Rican flavor. Yummmmmmmmy. 5 plus stars!
