I just want to say thank you so very much for your kindness and beautiful personality. May God continue to bless you and your family. Dios te Bendiga. I really love watching your tutorials. You make me laugh. Thank you.
Years ago when I was in PR and I didn’t have an oven I had a Newave Oven. Or thanksgiving I would cut up a whole turkey and roast the wings, thighs. And drum sticks. Then I would take the turkey breast and prepare the meat just as you did the pork here. But instead of making pasteles I would make empanadas with it. It was amazing and my kids still ask for it today even though I have an oven. I watched this video because since we moved to PA I haven’t made them and wanted to brush up on my skills. I am going to try your method this year and kick it up a bit. I can’t wait. Thank you and Happy holidays.❤
I used your recipe from the last video, It was my first time making Pastele & it turned Great 😊 Everyone said it was delicious 😋 And I still have many of my friends asking when is the next time I'll be making them ... I'm going to try your new recipe or updated recipe Thank you for the recipe
The best filling ever!!!! The freakin rican pasteles are amazing! Seriously after tasting his pasteles I don't want to eat anyone elses. Not even mami's pasteles if she reads this me Mata pero no one has his sazon so I find myself looking for that flavor. Omg and your Sofrito is the best!! I hope in the future I can see your Sofrito in the supermarket 😁..... Unfortunately it was too late for me to order pasteles because it was sold out😔 so I had to make them myself using Freakin Rican recipe and it was soooo good!! But next year I'm going to make sure I order in time porque I'm lazy. And by the way I must say I LOVE HOW CLEAN YOU ARE !!

Yo , you are awesome Papito.! I just bought the Grandma Anne’s Grater and am excited to make Alcapurrias & Pasteles . You know they make silicone Molds to freeze the Alcapurrias b4 hand.
Hello. I just got a notice that the Pastelles and Sofrito I ordered for my niece who lives in Vegas was just shipped. She can't wait and wants to start boiling water. LOL. I can't wait for your festivals so I can attend one and buy your product and meet you. I live in the Bronx and It's a lot of money to ship from Queens. Anyway I'm latina so I know how to make these things but love your channel. There are other people on UA-cam that make Sazon homemade. Sweets and Beyond, Ida, makes her own. If you just eliminate MSG you should have the same thing. After the holidays check it out. Hope that all of you have a great Christmas and New Year. I can't wait for the festivals and to meet you all.
Love love love your channel. I am from Hawaii and amazingly delicious Pastele was introduced there in 1900 by Puerto Ricans that came to Hawaii to work in plantations..as well as Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and Filipinos.. All these cultures come together in Hawaii's unique dishes. But Pasteles...are a prized dish due to all the hard work that goes into making them. I have a recipe from my Grandma, but I'm gonna try your recipe as it looks amazing!! Thank you and love your personality. Take care and stay safe..Aloha!!! hawaiiislandpasteles.bigcartel.com/history-of-pasteles
Hola freakin Rican, I love your channel' and you' of course, Bro thank you' for sharing your pork' video, But I do have one major' major' concern, NOT a criticism' and that is' that when you' are cutting your meat, Please always cut away' from you, Ok here is a little' Spanish' because I know' you're working on it, Nene' tu me tienes los nervios' de punta' cada vez que te veo' cortando' picando' el cerdo, Bendito' Por Dios' always' cut away' from you, This is just my' friendly advice' to my freakin' Rican, Your the best' one' out there.☺😃
I like how you show your way of cooking and how you do thing’s, but I don’t like when you keep on saying, just like that or like so. It doesn’t sound professional and it’s annoying to keep hearing that. You don’t need to go there. I do love how you cook.😊
BAIT AND SWITCH! I spent a total of $299.34. Part of my order contained 24 pork pasteles. The meat filling was undercooked, rubbery, inedible salt pork fat. No ham...no pernil. I emailed Derick and corresponded with Dayana Disla (Executive Assistance). I sent her 8 pictures of dissected pasteles which clearly shows the piles of pure rubbery fat. Her excuse was... "Yes, sometimes the staff is in production mode and may overlook a couple with less meat." She went on to say she will not provide a refund. I was baited by the savory pork filled pasteles that Derick prepares on his youtube channel and it is clearly not what I received. I will never purchase again and I will inform other's of my terrible experience.
Rhonda, I'm sorry you were not satisfied. The pasteles I show us making is what we are prepping for the restaurant and to ship. We do not bait and switch. We do not provide refunds on perishable items.
@@Thefreakinricanrestaurant I sent over 8 pictures of what I received as meat filling in my Pasteles and it is clearly 100% inedible rubbery salt pork fat and disgusting PIG SKIN... no pernil, no ham as you advertise. So yes, it is Bait and Switch. Somebody keeps deleting my negative post that includes pictures of what you sent me. Shame on you Derrick Lopez aka Freakin Rican. I contacted my bank to reverse the charges and somebody from your end recharged me for the order. I once again reversed the charges with my bank. If you reverse the $185.34 charges again, my next step is small claims court and YOU could come to California and talk to the Judge and try to justify the pictures that I will present of the inedible garbage that you sent me and charged me $185.34 for. I demand a refund Derrick of $185.34. If I don't succeed with small Claims court Derrick, I will follow through by hiring a pro bono attorney and YOU could hire an attorney to defend your case. I'm not playing Derrick.... I was sold inedible garbage crap and I demand a refund.
You're very kindhearted for sharing your recipes with people less fortunate and others who live far from you. You are blessed!🤗
Thank you , so sweet of you
I just want to say thank you so very much for your kindness and beautiful personality. May God continue to bless you and your family. Dios te Bendiga. I really love watching your tutorials. You make me laugh. Thank you.

Nice. Thanks for sharing!
What are you using to substitute for the flavor of the Sazón? Just the achiote?
Hi so I love watching your videos but I haven't seen you cook a turkey video,so I'm a person who likes cooking and love to see the different ways people cook ....
Do you wash any of the meat? Looks good so far.
I freaking love the Freakin Rican!!! Yasss Boo!!!
I’ve been a fan from day one. You are so kind hearted genuine may the lord continue to bless you. ? No olives in the meat???

Hi. What ingredients could Naranja Agria (Sour Orange) replace? The apple cider vinegar, perhaps?
Hello. I just got a notice that the Pastelles and Sofrito I ordered for my niece who lives in Vegas was just shipped. She can't wait and wants to start boiling water. LOL.
