Richard had amazing customer service! The atmosphere is cute and welcoming . Place is very clean as well. The plaintains were ok, not my favorite honestly they were kind of hard , the empanada was good ! I didn’t get the described flavors and chicken was a tad dry but overall it wasn’t a bad experience. May be back to try something different !

Food was good. I ordered 2 empanadas, the BBQ and the chicken. They were out of beef. They are located inside the patio of the American Tobacco Campus and they can be hard to find. Service should be no stars because there is none. You order on a tablet and then you pick up or it is brought to you. Feels like a gas station so the atmosphere is pretty crappy. I wouldn't go back. Also, they frown on cash and the tablet asks for a tip without any service.

The best Cuban sandwich! Visiting the American Tobacco Historic District, we stumbled on Boricua Soul. Their Cuban sandwich comes with the tastiest and crunchiest chicharrones. The atmosphere is cozy and staff very friendly. This place is highly recommended if you are in the area.

Excellent place to enjoy some authentic boricua food. Everything was fresh and I really liked their sauces.

Delicious Cuban sandwich! The pork inside is very special. Empanadas are wonderful. Great combo of beans & collards in one we had. Can't wait travel back to Durham and dine here again.

I’m not even sure where to start! Boricua soul was AMAZING!!!!! The food was finger licking good but the fried jack fruit was a game changer! I’m not too sure if I can stay away from this restaurant for more than a week. The owners also put the icing on the cake. They were so loving and down to earth that me and my family did not want to leave. We just alerted additional family members and friends to plan another visit this upcoming week. Boricua soul is very unique and I am so very happy they decided to bring there love and food to this communtiy.
