This is, by far, one of the best lunch time experiences I’ve ever had! The Boricua Soul Bowl 😮💨🔥🙌🏾! The bowl was packed with flavors that married so well. The atmosphere was great! Super clean, superior service, and an overall great experience! If you’re looking for a fusion of Puerto Rican and that good ole SOUL, this is the place to go! You won’t be disappointed. HIGHLY recommend!

I recently went here to have dinner with a friend. I had the Boricua Soul bowl and he had the empanadas and we were both very impressed! The location was very gorgeous and it was a nice place to catch up. I also ordered the frozen rosé, and it was delicious. There was so much that I even shared with my friend. I highly recommend trying Bourica Soul and dining in!

20/10, my Puerto Rican soul was really touched 🥲 😌 Legit, I wanted to cry of happiness and nostalgia altogether because the flavors were giving authentic vibes and hitting the spot. I am so grateful that I found this spot in my 24-hour layover at Durham. I am from Caguas, PR, but I have been living in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, for the past 2 years, and even though I do love my area, you don't find any Hispanic food yet even less a Caribbean nor Puerto Rican place whatsoever so having the chance to try a gem like this was a real treat and honor. Also, the live music and customer service made the experience way more memorable. 🙌🏾 🥰❤️🔥👌🏾✨️

I really enjoyed Boricua Soul! The macaroni and cheese was Amayzing! Really some of the best I've had. Their collards were good too. The Pernil was great there was just a small portion of it for the price. May have just been my plate though! I will definitely make this a regular spot for date days and nights!

Delicious Puerto Rican lunch spot. Great sauces and platters/empanadas. Got the boricua bowl with the guava sauce and it was delicious to mix it together and eat with their provided chips. Super flavorful contrast mashup of what felt like some southern cooking and islander taste vibes wrapped into a bowl and served. Nice outdoor seating covered by a large roof, fun games like connect 4 to play as well. Quick to get food.

Great food. Great staff. Great vibe. Some of the best food we have had since leaving NYC years ago. My mother said the mac and cheese tasted like hers. My wife, who makes some mean empanadas herself, signed off on the empanadas. Everything was great. Went their for Father's day and loved the live music.

Finally got to eat here! Totally worth the wait! Great food and the owners are really cool interacting with everyone! Salsa dancing on Saturday nights! Go out and support this local business!

Had a wonderful experience at Boricua Soul. We had the Boricua Bowl, BBQ empanada, shrimp burger, strawberry lemonade, caramel and strawberry cakes and the adult capri sun. Enjoyed everything! Live music was amazing as well. Owners are so nice and welcoming. Will definitely be back!!

AMAZING!!! First time here and the food was 10/10. The staff was very friendly. The owner was very generous and offered an extra item to sample at no cost and it was delicious! Definitely coming back to try more items from the menu.

The food here is SO good, I dont even think of pictures. The empanadas are amazing, the cuban, the mac n cheese, there is simply perfection here. I even tried the take and bake at home and am just blown away by how much flavor there is in everything they serve. 10/10 definitely recommend.

I absolutely recommend this restaurant if you want to try something new! It was one of the only restaurants open today, and I was a little hesitant to order something since the food is unusual to me, but it ended up being fantastic!
The portion size was excellent-just enough to be really full but not have leftovers, and the flavor was phenomenal. There was a ton of meat, and the rice and meat together was just fantastic.
I would absolutely recommend this place for a filling and flavorful meal!
If I’m back in Durham, I would absolutely consider coming back! Plus, they offer a military discount!
