The most authentic spot for Puerto Rican food that's affordable! Kind of in the middle of nowhere and the seating is outside but has tents. Was moderately challenging to call a Lyft. Anyways. The food is FIRE. ALCAPURRIAs were amazing and the chicken skewers had a delicious tangy flavor with tons of meat. Good service, spoke decent English, and took Apple Pay. Got coconut water too but it was a bit old.. carbonated. I would 10/10 reccomend going. Lots of fried food tho read more

A totally unassuming place. If you stop in you are not impressed, it literally is a shack with a fogón. The frituras are excellent. They are packed with meat and taste so good. They have outdoor tables and generally they turnover quick. read more

Best alcapurria I've had in Puerto Rico. There can be a wait and the parking lot can get full so get there early and give yourself time. Bring cash as they have a $10 minimum on cards and don't serve alcohol. read more

This is my go to spot when arriving in PR. Everything is made to order. Get a table when you arrive because the place is always full. The pinionos is a must the alcapurria is the star of the place though. Authentic as it come to P Rican food read more

This is a must stop. Dulce whips up those alcapurrias fresh to order and everything here is also made to order. You get your food hot and fresh here. It's worth it to stop by. The juice is also great. No alcoholic beverages are served here. The frituras, pinchos & piononos are the highlight. read more

I think that the food was good. The service was ... just a little disorganized . I had found many videos of this place and expected it to be cheaper and I made 55 on just empanadas and 4 pinchos.. ambiance .. not the cleanest or sanitized. For what they are charging for the empanadas.. they should I least have it nicer. Had me going back and forth calling my name for each thing . The hot sauce is like 47 cents . The cokes are 4 bucks for a soda can.. idk overall the food was ok.. very greasy.. my stomach took a toll. read more

Wide variety of fried fritters. Lobster, cod fish, beef, chicken, etc made from scratch right in front of you on a wood fired grill. Freshly made fruit drinks Big crowds. Plenty of parking. The biggest negative though is I had to wait half an hour for a lobster alcapurria. Not really worth the wait to be honest. read more

This place is way out there as a busy roadside food kiosk with smoke fuming in the air but it's by a long strip of beach that is a relaxing place to take a stroll before or after your indulgence. The service was relatively quick despite some language barriers, but my elementary level of Spanish served me well. The food was very oily and I'd say it was decent for what it was. I enjoyed the bacalaito and the alcapurria de jueyes, but it wasn't the best I've had. The size of the bacalaito as well as the amount of filling within the alcapurria was surprisingly generous. The birds/chickens walking around all over the tables kind of was a turn off in terms of cleanliness. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you happen to be in the area and want a quick snack then this would suffice. read more

I was overall very impressed by this location. The food was incredibly affordable, and they had great options such as lobster, crab, octopus, shark. The tacos were incredibly tasty and they were very large in size. Additionally, the chicken skewers were grilled and sauce was perfect. The tacos were very similar to the pastellios. Service was great. Ambiance was very relaxed and some foldable tables you could eat at. read more

This food was some of the best Puerto Rican food I've ever had. I had a pastelillo (empanada) with carne and before I had even tasted the meat I was blown away by the outside crust. It had the perfect texture and the perfect taste. I also had an Alcapurria. Great texture great taste. Me and my family had ordered a lot of food so it took a little while for all the food to be ready. This place was so Puerto Rican. It felt like the backyard of my grandmas house. read more

This place was super busy and the smoke from the grill made us pull over and try it out! The food was okay, lacked a little in seasoning for my taste but overall I liked the experience. The place looks super authentic and I was having a hard time choosing what to get because everything smelled so good! Oh they have shark shish-kabobs too, wish I would have tried them! Next time! read more

Kiosko El Boricua - Food Stands Near Me - Piñones, Puerto Rico

This place is the bomb diggity! The down-to-earth ambience offers an authentic cultural experience while delivering fresh-off-the grill Pinchos (kabobs), golden fried, meat-filled delicacies, such as pastelillos, alcapurrias, arepas, and tacos. Not just any tacos! These are enclosed, deep fried tacos with your choice of meat, ranging from carne, camaron, pollo, jueyes, y mas. The tacos and kabobs were my absolute favorite, along with their delicious Piña Coladas... OMG, so good! We arrived around noon to a short line that became very long a few minutes after our arrival. Ladies in the small, green cookhouse efficiently took our orders, and I must say, the prices were the best. We ordered so much food and our order still came out to no more than $37 for two people. The delivery of orders are delved out based on when the item is finished cooking, so expect your name to be called a few times to retrieve the fresh and hot items individually. I saw an American couple seething with anger as they didn't understand what was going on... don't be that person. This place isn't a fancy, schmancy restaurant, just chill people doing their job, serving quality food to both PR residents and tourists. All while by the beach. Nothing special about the parking or restrooms, and all seats are outside. With that said, this is the type of food establishment you recommend to God. read more

The alcapurrias is the best I have tried in the area. Very fresh and full of flavors.

Food made fresh not sitting under a heat lamp for hours so be prepared to wait a little time but worth the wait. The alcappurrias and pastelillos are a little pricey compared to other places but they are bigger here and fresh and are good. Authentic charm chickens walking around. read more

Place is great. Good authentic fritura from PR. This place is in Piñones, many to choose from. But you cant go wrong with this one. I had many plates, check out my pictures. Las Alcapurias were very good. Bacalaito was insane, big and tasty, full of flavor. Also had the Baso del Pulpo, it was also great. You cant miss out on the Medalla to go with any of this food. Definately will go back and recommend this place. read more

This place has tons of grill smoke coming out from its kitchen. Smelled amazing, so we had to pull over. It was good, not great. My favorite thing I tried was the Pastelillo, basically an empanada but was very soft. The Arepa was extremely hard that I couldn't eat it and the flavor lacked on the chicken for me but overall was a great experience and good lunch. Service was good just was very busy!! read more

The alcapurrias (fried fritters) are great here. Not salty and cooked to perfection. I'm from NYC and visited PR as a boy. This is what I remember as a child the fresh smell of these awesome appetizers. Made to order this is the real deal. Don't waste your time elsewhere. You can try the Rest but this is the Best! read more

Kiosko El Boricua - alcapurrias made fresh...Yummy - Food Stands Near Me - Piñones, Puerto Rico

Roadside food kiosks selling authentic Puerto Rican food and frituras with the beach across the road-YES, I'LL TAKE IT! Now, when we pulled up the line was long but they have the area covered so you're not under the beaming sun while you wait for your fried goods. My advice is you grab a drink from the bar and take deep breaths of the deliciousness in the air. They have frozen Pina Coladas and Gasolina drinks, beer, soft drinks and your regular well-drinks. Very little vegan or vegetarian options but that's expected. They do have rice and beans and plain Alcapurria's you can purchase. Make sure you get the pique (hot sauce) for 25 cents. SO GOOD! FRIENDLY REMINDER: Please remember where you are and check your expectations!! You are not at a 5-star restaurant. Hell, you're not even at a restaurant!! You're at a road side kiosk ordering food made by locals and you're eating outdoors in the Caribbean!!! There are going to be flies, stray dogs and chickens, dust and car fumes. Be present, enjoy the moment and your vacation! read more

Tiny little spot along the road. Everything is made to order and it's a bit slow for what you would think would be pretty quick. It's worth the wait though. They don't seem to speak much English, so just make sure to order in spanish. Stood around waiting for my order among the locals. Weren't many people there at the time but I'm sure its busier on weekends when people are at the beach. The carne (meat) alcapurria was awesome - bursting with flavor and perfectly hot, crispy outside and soft inside. The camarones (shrimp) pastelillo was larger than expected and had big whole shrimps in it. Both were seasoned well and a great snack. I would stop by again and order more next time I visit. Not much parking here and the road is narrow. A truck driver had pulled off to get a meal and took up half the road and kept his noisy truck on. We ended up parking in someone's driveway so I ordered while my mom stayed in the car in case she had to move it. read more

Disclaimer: Star rating is 3.5 Arrived minutes after 10:00 on Saturday; first ones on line! You'll learn that this is a plus if you come after 11. What we ordered- Rice and beans (really good) I could have ordered the beans by the boat load! A+. 2 bacalaitos- average and I've had better in NY where I'm from. And lastly, 2 shrimp alcapurrias that were super flavorful. The wait- I get it, "island time", however, 45+ minutes being the first on line is rather ridiculous if you ask me. Plenty of parking available. Be sure to hit the beach directly across the way and up the steps. You will NOT be disappointed!! read more

The BEST Kiosko in Piñones -- the best food and location! We ordered drive thru due to COVID protocols and pretty much ordered everything on the menu because we wanted to taste it. The bacalaito was to die for, the alcapurrias were full of the meat we ordered it with, and the chicken on the stick was also delicious. No complaints! The piña colada was also the best out of 3 that I tried on the island that weekend. Instead of eating it in the car we parked our car very nearby and walked across the narrow street to eat the food by the beach under palm trees. Overall great experience and a MUST visit place when visiting Puerto Rico. Definitely satisfied our desire to eat true traditional PRican food. If I can give 6 stars, I would ! read more

Kiosko El Boricua - Pionono - Food Stands Near Me - Piñones, Puerto Rico

BORICUA? YES A kiosko dedicated to al the savory fried food that's tradition to my culture. I've seen a lot of negative comments on Yelp about this place and I'm here to address that these people are the sweetest people in the world. Their customer service is A1. Sure they scream your name when your food is ready to pick-up but that's just customary here. It's an outdoor kiosk that serves fresh food, you can't complain. I hope the reviews don't discourage from stopping here. read more

What looks like a typical shack on the side of the road serving fried food will surprise you. Don't be turned away by their appearance. Stand in line and try their menu. Everything is made to order because people keep coming. You can see cooks flattening the bacalaitos and stuffing the alcapurrias. The line can get very long and the wait longer because you don't just order 1 or 2 things. Try the pinchos...probably the best I've had. read more

On our trip through the rain forest, on the way down, there was a sign for fresh coconuts, but I decided NOT to stop for them because we were running late, with a promise to my gf that we would get them later. Sure enough there was no fresh coconut places in town. And we did find them at a bar but it was 11 bucks!!! I decided I'd rather get yelled at for not getting coconuts then getting yelled at for spending 11 for a coconut. So I looked on yelp, and lucky for me this Kiosko was the life saver. It's only a few minutes away from our hotel and they had PLENTY of fresh coconuts. 2 bucks a pop! We got 4! So yummy and cold. Th people were very friendly. We didn't get a chance to try the other food but this is the place to go to get fresh coconuts on the cheap! read more

Stopped in to this roadside shack (can't think of a better word) after a surf lesson across the street. We were hot and sandy, so I was glad to find a place where we could be grubby while we were grubbin. The food was pretty tasty and so were the drinks. The ladies working the food aren't particularly friendly, but the lady serving drinks was. Everything was fairly priced and I didn't think the wait was too long. read more

They make everything fresh here - no heat lamps! Everything is deep fried or grilled on a wood fire. If you don't hablas espanol, you'll probably need to get someone in line to help you order. I'm a sucker for meat pies so the piononos (fried plantain meat pie) was my favorite item. The pinchos (grilled dark meat chicken or pork on skewers with BBQ sauce) were both tasty but I'd pick the chicken if I had to choose one. The arroz con jueys (rice with crab) tasted good but it's just crab-flavored yellow rice with no actual pieces of crab in it so I'd skip it next time. The pastellilo (fried empanada) wasn't bad but the pastry was a bit bland. The alcapurria (oblong-shaped fritter) seemed very popular and I thought I had ordered one but it never came. I would avoid the taco - I'm not sure if they messed up the order but it was almost identical to the pastellilo except it cost a lot more. Chilled fresh coconuts and a selection of beers are all available for order from the bar at the back of the seating area. There's no real bathroom but there is a foot-pump sink and port-a-potties in the back. Pros: Authentic and affordable. Cons: You'll smell smokey if you sit downwind of the grill and cooking fires. We were all eaten alive by tiny sand flies. I left with over 25 itchy bites! Tips: They close at 6pm and don't speak English. I would rate it 5-stars if not for the bug bites. read more
