Amazing cuisine!!

Eat everything!! There is delicious food all around Puerto Rico. You will not go hungry with classics like mofongo and regular fried food nibbles like empanadillas. One of the more difficult aspects of traveling throughout Puerto Rico may be eating balanced meals due to the abundance of fried food on the menus.

Try a variety of eateries, from traditional sit-down meals to quick-service options. Visit a kiosko or a street food vendor for the most authentic and affordable options. They can be found all around the island, with the Luquillo kiosks being one of the most well-known. There are dozens of kioskos there that serve both traditional Puerto Rican food and popular international meals.

However, missing out on the island's fantastic and diverse local restaurant and cuisine culture would be a tremendous mistake. Try mofongo, suggests Schwietert Collazo. "It's a mashed plantain dish, often packed with meat or shellfish and then coated in liquid," she explains. It's a guilty favorite of mine; I never eat it at home, but I always do in Puerto Rico."

Pabon chose Cocina Abierta as her favorite restaurant when asked. "My favorite restaurant is Cocina Abierta in Condado, a neighborhood of San Juan," she explains. It's a gastrobar with fusion cuisine.
