La Garita Grocery and Café

"This is classic home cooking Puerto Rican style. Fresh and flavorful, it’s all the classic Puerto Rican flavors made daily. It’s a pearl because San Antonio is known for its Mexican cuisine. This is not a fancy place but a grocery store with home cooking. Fairly priced and generous portions. No complaints and will be visiting weekly. Heads up cause on Monday they reheat Saturday’s food. You can tell the difference. Visit on Friday Saturday when they cook fresh."

"Found this place when we were looking for puerto rican food but they had stopped serving when we got there.Good Pastries. Small store with puerto rican spices and other items."

"The BEST food. Various rices, yucca, empanadas, mafongo, and main course dishes are delicious! A must try, but be aware that you might get addicted. SO good!"

"Wow. I am so grateful to the person who recommended this spot. The food was DELICIOUS and well portioned. I went with my Puerto Rican friend and she vowed on the authenticity of the food's taste. Well definitely be coming back to try other menu items... can't wait."

"All the Puerto Rican staples you could want! Pernil, arroz con gandules, rellenas de papa, alcapurria fresh made and delicious. Not only that but all the Puerto Rican groceries you need for home: pan sobao, malta, cola champagne, homemade sofrito, adobo, sazón, etc etc. We came a little late for lunch with a craving for rellenas de papa and they were so sweet to fry up some fresh ones for us. La Garita is family owned/operated and has the kindest staff. Stop in and try something new."
