    I’m from Puerto Rico, and it’s so cool to see people from other countries enjoying our food. Also, pronouncing alcapurria can be pretty difficult. 😅 The “rr” has a sound that’s not in the English pronunciation. It’s almost like the sound of a firing machine gun or a growl.

    I used to eat at La Isla Cuchifritos yrs ago. It was excellent then one day I notice the food was off. The next time I ordered from them, talking to them, they said they were different owners. I don't even think they were Puerto Rican. The food was off again and haven't went back. This was about 9/10yrs ago. Did they sell it back? New owners? It was so good then it was not.

    The lechonero guy was a bit unhinged, loco, imo. The kola can is not from PR. That Malta India you drank is from PR. At the cafeteria with alcapurrias the guy on the left is not PR. Pastelillo pronounced with a "yo" at the end not a pastelito sound at the end. Good vid in general.
