Just finished shoveling this food down my gullet and I couldn't be happier…read more To set the scene: we live 40 minutes away but I wanted to try El Meson Boricua ever since I saw a photo of their Puerto Rican-style Chinese spare ribs tips. Take all my gas because the drive was worth it. There's a big parking and a clean eating area for those who decide eat their food there. The young lady taking out was personable and helpful in answering questions. One of the owners, Carlos, offered a sample of their cuajito (stewed pork stomach), something my husband has been craving lately. It was marvelous and I began to have hope this would be a good portent of what was to come. They have the traditional PR menus but we settled on pernil (garlicky-roasted pork shoulder) and the spare ribs tips. Both came with two sides so we asked for arroz con gandules (rice w. pigeon peas), macaroni salad, and tostones (twice fried mashed green plantains). The total, with tip, was less than $35. The arroz con gandules is truly authentic. Properly colored and seasoned beautifully. I would've like a little more gandules as well as their flavor, but the rice is spot on. The pernil was a smidge dry, but tender and seasoned expertly. The rib tips had that PR Chinese flavor of season and a warmly spiced sweetness. The macaroni salad was a little curdled from whatever acid they use but was, as everything else, seasoned to the Gods. Finally, the tostones were some of the best I've had anywhere. They have a light pillowy texture after you bite through the crispy, almost flaky exterior. They were salted and drizzled with a green sauce that gave sofrito-chimichurri vibes. Carlos and Lucy are doing the damn thing out of this little truck. So far it's the best Puerto Rican food I've had in San Antonio AND Austin.

They're not just serving up sweet stuff, but savory things and spicy things too. They have a whole produce section back there, with fresh options for scores of different fruits! I like the aguas frescas, which are basically a fruit juice with a bunch of sugar in it. They have these corn in a cup, or elote, which are always delicious. The fruit waters are also good, less sugary aguas frescas. The place was clean. The tables would be normally be sticky in a place that serves up watermelon, but this was no normal fruit stand. It was spotless! The guy running the fruit stand was friendly and didn't mind answering a bunch of questions. We ended up having a quiet clean corner of the shop, which was a air conditioned, and a great way to spend an afternoon. I can't wait to visit the other locations.

Cut up cucumbers with chamoy & idk what else and also a hot Cheeto snack deal with like pickles ... I can't remember exactly as it's been a year but both were nasty. Second time: $25 for 3 things! Corn in a cup (watery yellow corn, mayo sauce on top, cheese and a sprinkle of chile powder) - disgusting. Managonada- picture shows mango pieces on top - had none. But the actual mango shaved ice was super tasty! Chamoy is good too. And a kids shark attack $7 one of the few prices I noticed on menu. They were also out of spoons - no biggie - but adding it onto everything else just is disappointing. Nonetheless the bad out weighed the good sadly. Won't be back.
