Tex-Chick

Expect to pay around $18 for food and a drink. It's still tasty, but probably not worth the price.

Pros: authentic

Cons: expensive

This place is awesome, i'm from Ecuador and the food is similar to ours but this place takes all on taste. Teo is adorable, and the wife is a doll. The chuletas could not of been done better, the Mofongo is finger lickingly good. Though this place is unformal and small it brings the ambience of being and eating at home. The price is right for the portion of food I truly recommend this place better than Isla Coqui(yuk). Mark my word GUARANTEED you will leave satisfied, I come from Richmond/Rosneberg for this almost every weekend.

Pros: Few tables inside

Cons: Food makes up for the wait

the rice was under cooked the beans were over cooked the carne frita was ok and the tostones were perfect. the decor of this place reminds me of some of the small resturants u see in puerto rico but come on we are in texas. they didnt even have arroz con gandulez as a part of their menu or pastelles so imho as far as authenic there are better places.... i lived en la isla for 20 years and tex-chick had the worst puerto rican food i have ever had. ISLA COQUI is so much better and a better menu

Pros: puerto ricans go there

Cons: food is not great, very small

Deffinetly worth the Trip! Yes it is a hole in the wall place, but for this boricua it really did take me back! The Food was great! in One day we tried the Mofonfo and Carne Frita, Pollo Guizado, arroz con gandules, pastels and Flan! It was just like Abuela makes! and The Prices were very reasonable! its nothing fancy, but Like I said Deffintely worth the trip!

Pros: Food, Price, and Friendliness!

I have come back time after time and I always bring someone new with me who ends up loving it as much as I do! You feel very much at home chatting the people in the next table or joking around with the cute couple who run it. The food is wonderful and you come out wishing you knew who to cook it and if you are a flan lover this is one of the best!

I can't help but to recruit new people to tag along every time I get a hankering for authentic Puerto Rican fare. The fried chicken breast is my favorite, and it took a while before I would order mofongo, but now I can't go without it. An appreciated detail is the chilled, crisp coconut soda from the help-yourself cooler. At about $8 a plate, you have plenty leftover - even if you come in with a roaring appetite. The flan ranks up there with some of the best in the city as well.
