    As a puerto rican, I can tell you, we take a lot of pride in our food! We are very passionate about our cuisine. A lot of people don't know, but the piña colada everybody loves actually originated here. Thank you for showing the world how good our food is. 💖🇵🇷

    Puerto Ricans all over the globe are super appreciative of Mikey for educated the world on a cuisine most know nothing about. When you go back for round two of alcapurias and find more bacalaitos, we can tell you're genuinely enjoying it. Only thing your missing is home cooking. Wish someone would've invited you into their home to try some homemade food, you would be in love. Buen provecho

This owner of an empanada stand across the street from our condo made me special spicy empanadas every and only charged me 50 cents. I still crave them to this day.

    I’m so freaking happy right now omg. Boricua over here wepaaaaaa!! The fact that you opened w bacalaítos and an alcapurria mannnnnn I knew this was finna be a great video, giving me flashbacks of childhood and allat 😩 thank you for trying some real local food that I’d do anything to have rn lmao. Also, empanadas are baked. Puerto Rican’s make pastellitos (pateliyos) which are fried! You should also try bacalao, which is the same dish used in the bacalaítos but served as a filet *kinda lol* w drizzled olive oil ✨chefs kiss✨

    Wrong, they are called correctly empanadillas (half moon fried, not matters the borders). Pastelillos are squared, made most of them stuffed inside with guava (guayaba) and it is a pastry.

    So glad you enjoyed the food! Puerto Rican food is not spicy and although some people might put hot sauce on theirs it’s not how it’s traditionally done. Just to be clear there’s nothing wrong if you wanna put hot sauce on your food but just wanted to clarify that our food is not spicy because a lot of tourists think that it is. Personally my favorite chinchorro at Piñones is El Boricua and you gotta go to Guavate in Cayey next time where they have lechón asado(roasted pork on a spit) and truly classic local food in the mountain.

It looked like a large hockey puck and it was absolutely amazing. The large fish cake was my second favorite.

    This video brought tears to my eyes, and I'm not even Boricua. but I lived there for 7 wonderful years and still fantasize about moving back ... I remember going to the Kioscos at Luquillo Beach to eat Tacos de Jueyes and Piononos with beer, lots of beer, but even stopping at the kiosquitos on the beach near Levittown to eat Bacalaítos and maybe Cuajo (looked awful but tasted great, like pork), and going at 3 a.m. to the stands on the street in Ocean Park and Isla Verde for Mofongo and Mofongo con Caldo de Pollo, the best hangover preventive ever ! The musicians and Casino Croupiers used to go there when they got off work. And the stories of how sickly babies were nursed back to health with Guarapo de Caña - which occasionally we could buy from somebody with a Guarapo Press by the side of the road - there were still cane fields on the outskirts of Dorado in those days, back in the 1970's .... and the Asaltos Navideños, and the Asopao and the bottles of homemade Coquito .... wow did THAT pack a punch.... this video has REALLY been a trip down El Sendero del Recuerdo ...
