El Coqui coming to town

I can't wait till this restaurant comes i'am so excited my mom makes puertorican food all the time but i'am just excited to be around more puerto rican because their hard to find we are all scattered around. Unless something like this comes along or our Puerto Rican festival once a year. But sometimes you crave it so we can have so where to go to get it.

I may be Mexican/American living in California all my life where it's home to all the Mexicans, but It's about time that there are bringing more latin american restaurants to the inland empire cause mostly you have to travel to L.A./Orange county, but hopefully, I'll try puerto rican food this time, well hope you guys open one through the Fontana/Rancho Cucamonga/Rialto Area.

My family has been craving Puerto Rican food and a community in the I.E. for some time. My Dad is Puerto Rican and is an awesome cook, but wants a restaurant he can go to every so often

I have a question for those that know. Does Mexican food & Puerto Rican food taste ... similar?

I am not being sarcastic, but serious. Does it have a more carribean flair to it ... whats up?

Enlighten me.

If you live in America then you should not be able to use language that Americans cannot understand, Like;" the monster/El coqui" Puerto Rican Resturant, because belive me I hate going places I cant read the name of. I went to school in America not Puerto rico, or mexico, come on what in the heck are we Americans doing? letting these foriegn jerks have every thing even our bilboards? screw the frigen monster

I'm American and I understand it. America is a very culturally diverse place and many of us like it that way. Have you ever been to San Diego, Corona, Los Angeles or do you avoid them because their names are in Spanish? Stop being so ignorant.

I am american too, and yes, all of this foreigness does get irritating at time, but for a true american, such as my mother, and her parents, true full blooded american indians, born and raised on indian reservations, its more irritating to them to see all of the people from european descent claim to be the true americans.. but in the just of it all, America is just that.. a land of freedom and diversity, cultural.. that is what makes this place so great, a mixture of culture that can blend together.. accept it or go back to europe.. you wont have to press 1 for english..and think twice about your thoughts the next time you eat a burrito, or do you live off of meatloaf and pot roast? America... love it or leave it...

ignorant as to being able to read where I am? or just ignorant? do you know what ignorant means? I can read english not spanish or whatever, people who live here learn english in school as their basic language, unless they choose to learn other languages. If I lived in a spanish speaking country then I'd be ignorant, I think that you should go back to sports, because you are a dic...k

Even though this story is about a Puertorican Restaurant, I have to let the writer "suicidebycops" know that Puertoricans are Americans just like him,even though we were born in Puerto Rico. My advice to you is to read some history, and stop being such and ignorant racist.

En hora buena!!

Puerto Rican food is nasty!! I wouldn't consider Puerto Ricans Americans. It's another latin hellhole.

Just as mexico is a dump, so is Puerto Rico. If you like third world latin places you may dig it.

I agree with you to an extent.. yes, i think english should be the primary language, and immigrants that come to the U.S. should learn english, now a days, the kids must know an alternate language to graduate, it just doesnt seem fair, also jobs... as an american, i find it very discriminative that I am not qualified for certain jobs because i am not bilingual, but yet foreigners are allowed to be in my country and nobody is making them learn english.. I don't get it. Both of my parents know spanish, but chose not to teach me and my brother, after all, we are in america..my grandfather had to learn english and spanish as a child to fit in america.. and he was american indian.. that is is native language!! we should all learn to speak native american!

Go back to your country and then what you say will matter to someone

From the looks of it it seems you can read the language pretty well .... Do you have a problem with freedom of expression? Until we pass a law making english the national language, we are going to have to read some spanish signs, you know like: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Juan Capistrano, etc.

The post was about Puerto Rican food ... not a rant about the name of a resturant.
