    Food was excellent and the service was perfect. It was very nice to find authentic Puerto Rican food in San Diego.

    Good afternoon. We are not an actual restaurant but a popup restaurant that holds monthly events. We do mostly catering and private dinner service events.

    After leaving NY, I never thought I would be able to taste authentic Puerto Rican food just like my…read moremom used to make when I was young. I tried a few places in San Diego, and they were decent, but nothing to write home about. When a friend recommended me to Wanda's Puerto Rican Cuisine, I thought it can't hurt... Maybe it will be decent since it's homebased... After trying the pernil, arroz gandules, empanadas and pasteles (especially the pasteles)... I had to declare this was the best puerto rican food... [dare I say]... EVEN BETTER THAN MY MOM'S‼ I almost [probably did] cried while eating it. The next time I brought it home, I refused to share it with my husband, but he's stronger than me, so he got some. I thought I would be smart the third time and ate it when he wasn't home, but it almost broke up my marriage when he came home and smelled the fragrant delicacies in the air, but no remnants of the actual food‼ If you don't mind ruining your marriage for this fantastic Puerto Rican food, then you should definitely order from her‼ She has an Instagram page, so you have to direct message her to order: https://share.google/KiXehQlzI2LRdcDFF Don't forget to order the cheese and guava pastry too... It's another fight waiting to happen in my marriage if I don't buy at least a half dozen to share with him‼

    I ordered a dozen frozen Pasteles with Guineo Masa and they're amazing. Tastes like my…read moreGrandmother's recipe. Amazing.

    (Dined 04/07/26 TU @ 5:00pm): Puerto Rican food made in honor of a beloved father…read more.. As my friend and I made a final brewery stop at Duck Foot Brewing before heading home, thank goodness for AntoYitos Borincanos Food Truck since the brewery didn't serve food nor had any snacks for sale. Being a born-and-bred Angeleno, I grew up in the food cart/truck and street vendor culture, so I always appreciated and supported the strong work effort it took for these individuals to somehow make a living. Would I enjoy the Puerto Rican heritage cuisine prepared in remembrance of "Yito"!? QUICK BIO Founded by two sisters, Jennifer and Nadeshka Roman - both born in Puerto Rico. They were raised in Camuy, where they constantly watched their father do what he was so passionate about: cooking. He became a chef and had many dreams and goals yet to fulfill. Sadly, he passed away in 2006; and although they were just young girls at the time, they have always remembered his passion for the culinary arts. In his memory, they decided to name their business AntoYitos Borincanos--"Yito" being his nickname. The company's logo symbolized their roots and their father's greatest passions. PURCHASE(S) 7pc Amarillos ($5.00): A handful of fried plump semi-caramelized sweet plantains, these were a "healthy" snack while I guzzled my beer. Honestly, I loved plantains in general (especially in sliced chip form), and these came in hot and steamy. A perfect budget-friendly snack I'd consistently buy if it were available at all breweries. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=-C4PHYXKrfqTL-Y0PmV6Cg Cheese Pastelillos ($4.00 x2): A crispy flaky stuffed turnover with your choice of cheese, chicken, ground beef, or pizza, these were the size of my palm, loaded, and piping hot as steam exploded out when I tore a corner off. Plenty of thick white cheese initially oozed out like lava and then coagulated as it got exposed to air. A simple tasty morsel to help absorb alcohol. Another perfect inexpensive snack food for a brewery. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=_s6yGADKr64XVxVVt5l38g Service Fee 3.00% ($0.39): C'est la vie; small businesses need to try and pass along added expenses when they could. SERVICE I was warmly greeted by an affable young woman who easily and quickly took my order. I wasn't given a number or buzzer but told to return in about ten minutes later. Once I came back, she was just packing everything for me. Todo estaba bien - muchas gracias! PARKING (FREE): Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever they were at the time. In this case, they were at Duck Foot Brewing with plenty of parking lot spaces available within an industrial park work area - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient catering/food truck/pop-up tent with a printed food menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=g3FiBpe71zyQEYo_i2XehA on the side of the truck where you placed/picked-up your order, no area for condiments, napkins, and utensils (they supplied these if needed to alleviate waste) nor designated seating area except for the ample outdoor and indoor seating provided by the brewery, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while minimal electric street and tent lighting glowed at night. There weren't any TVs or background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=gsz7glcLDDeVANG6p0bl8Q ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL AntoYitos Borincanos Food Truck satisfied a need, and I would consider them again. My only fear would be their limited menu although I imagined they changed it up from time to time. The prices were relatively reasonable, the food and portion sizes were very good, and the service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $14.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    Puerto Rican inspired food truck…read more They are fairly priced, they serve large portions, and have very friendly service. They cook everything to order so it might take a little longer than expected, especially with the fried food. The food was very delicious and flavorful (a little salty but I loved it). They also offer a 10% Military discount.
