OMG... I should not be watching this at 930pm!! I feel like I'm in the cosina with my Mother and Abuelita!! Not many people really know how we ( Boricua) throw down!! Keep it up Papa!! Many blessings to you and your family!!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷♥️♥️♥️♥️
From what I remember,you soak the green bananas in warm water and you cut the ends in order to take the peel off. You brought some of my childhood memories alive. My mom will make these and some bacalao. At times she will cook for a large crowd at my father's baseball games. This is how she will earn money to buy our school clothes and supplies. I missed her cooking. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤
Oh that face you made at the end showed how tired you were. ❤ Thank you so much for coming home from working all day to make this video for us. I know I appreciate it and my family will too when I make this. ❤💕
Yes I was really tired. I work 10-12 hour days. But i have to be disciplined with myself and get it done. But I couldnt donit without Victor. Hes very helpful ❤🙏😇 . Thank you so much for watching. ❤
Hola freakin rican here I am watching this at 730issh in the morning n yup I will be doing this today yummy nada cómo nuestra comida boricua 🇵🇷🇵🇷👌🏼👌🏼🥰🥰 gracias a ti I’ve learned how to do pasteles y ahora alcapurria yummy ❤❤❤❤❤
Two and a half hours later I finally enjoy my burnt alcapurias without extra vitamins (all fingers still intact). But the kitchen looks like huracane Maria has gone through it. My whole family is devastated by all the mess. All in all, I am happy with my first homemade Puerto Rican Alcapurias in The FreakinRican style. Thank you!⚘
Your very welcome. The restaurant isnt going any where. January makes 3 years. Most restaurants dont make it past 1 year. Its a lot of work. To do it right. We got this! Love you for watching. Come by one day.
@@Thefreakinricanrestaurant Yes! I am very far, as I’m in Florida but I’m always there especially when you are helping with all the issues that have come up with our beloved PUERTO RICO!! I will order something from your business! I had ordered pasteles one time for my sister in Virginia and she raves about them!!!
Yes! Your restaurant made it on the googles list of best pr restaurants In THE USA!! I haven’t even been to your place yet and I knew you would be listed! Congrats!!!!!
@@Thefreakinricanrestaurant lol. made them last night with white rice and beans, for my granddaughter and I, and they were amazing. p.s. I've never made them with sofrito in the masa before, what a difference. yum!
I used to think that Alcapurrias were the most hardest things to make but you make it look easy and explain it so well (in Spanish and English-the way I can relate! lol) that I will now give it a try! I love your food at your restaurant and at street fairs prior to 2020/recipes/videos! Thanx to Victor as well for being behind-the-scenes and showing us these delicious meals. Gracias! Love seeing Coco too --I have a NuyoRican pup-like Coco, Hispanic heritage. :) Stay healthy and well. Dios te Bendiga a todos. Peace...
couldnt sleep 300am U are the First person I subscribed to. Yes this disabled Italian man who comes from a home where Mom was married 5xs. Italian lady to Rican, Italian and black husbands she suffered and us kids to, since racist was very bad back then. I looked at it as Mom was ahead of the Times. Wish others did. I not only love ur videos ur Personality. The Best Thank You El-Cheapo
This is my first time seeing you on youtube and I never had seen anyone making the alcapurrias like you make them. I will be going to your restaurant tomorrow Saturday, February 13, 2021 and I will then put comments about your restaurant. I have the feeling that I am going to enjoy your food tomorrow. Keep cooking. I am a New York Rican same like you. Viva Puerto Rico.
I'm SOOOO EXCITED that you showed this!!! This is literally my favorite PR food, next to this seafood mofongo that I got when I went to visit mi abuelita in Guayama...EVERYTHING in this mofongo was cooked to perfection...the shrimp, octopus, lobster, conch, & scallops, along w/the mofongo!! There's a couple things mi abuelita didn't make because they were too time consuming, so it's great to see that I can find them here!!!!😃👍
I came across this video oddly enough when looking for astrology videos 🤷🏻♀️ don’t ask me how yours popped up but I’m glad it did. Thank you for your recipe. I like your energy even though you were tired. I will make some alcapurrias soon pero con jueyes. 😉 💕✨
Omg i been wanted one now I finally can make some ..my children are puertorican I’m a percentage so we all love it !!you did this video so good thank you so much !love how you added Spanish into the video !
I am so jealous. My sister gets there on Tuesday. I told her SHE MUST GO to your restaurant. Our mom lives in Astoria. It couldn’t be more perfect. I wish I was going to NY as well. Next time. She will have to bring me adobo and Sazon and whatever else she can travel with. Can’t wait.
finally I find a video that makes Alcapurrias the way I learned by putting the masa on a spoon! I use my hand dipped in water to smooth the masa on top. Delicious, thank you!
My mouth is watering before the alcapurrias are finished cooking! My mother's family is from Cidra. My mother & tias made delicious alcapurrias, morsilla, pastels, arroz con gandules, pernil, mofongo, bola de papa, bacalao fritos, coquito, flan, etc. OMG! Orgullosa de ser Boricua! 💖🇵🇷💖🇵🇷
OMG, I haven't had one of these in forever. The last time was when I was about 13 at a beautiful beach in the South of the island. It couldn't have been better.
olla hermano i just like to send you my deepest thank you for your channel I'm from Rochester NY and we don't have any thing like what you have is awesome to see my Boricuas doing this I'm so proud to call again thank you i ove your style send my love to all your wok
Love it,I will make tofu with veggies and I will use my Filipino lumpia as the filling,thank chef for your recipe. I also think of using Indian curry and any Asian filling and more...endless possible fillings
I absolutely love your videos and recipes. I have tried a few. I have been following you now for over 2 years. And the one thing that has ALWAYS stood out is you being so down to Earth! Most chefs that do home videos have these real fancy kitchens. Top of the line on every utensil they use. So glad that your authentic and keeping it real! Love your channel ❤️ Keep smiling 🥰
Thanks so much to take your time after a long working day to show us how to make alcapurrias, I’m going to make it tomorrow after buying the ingredients because I love it but don’t know before to watch you how to prepare it... 🙏 they looks delicious ummmm ummmm
"When it tastes "Mmm" u know its gonna taste delicious" 😋 that's how I usually determine if I need to add more spices or not. Si e "Mmm" tiene que ser Bueno! 🤣😘🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷❤
I just love you and everything you cook. Yo soy puertorriqueña. I'm going to make the alcapurrias that way it looks easier. Thank you for shearing your recipe. Dtb
I have been meat free for a year now and as a Rican...I miss my fav alcapurrias!!! I'm thinking of a way to maybe make a non meat version. Maybe black beans, corn, peppers?? It sucks big time & I miss pasteles!!!
Mostly My chronic health issues; I started juicing then being more adventurous & diligent about eating clean. I don't too much like jackfruit tho. Pero gracias
My sister is vegan so I have adapted a few recipes for her. For these and my pasteles I use chickpeas. I make them guisada and squish a few to make the stew thicker. I eat meat but I enjoy the ones I make for my sister just as much.
Omg, I am such a fan..I really enjoy watching you..I live in Florida but originally from Manhattan..my neice was just at your place and said it’s fabulous! Thank you so much...
OMG Que castigo mi gente🤣 I live in South Jersey and I’ve been wanting to come visit the restaurant. I will one day with the family. Gracias por compartir la receta que tanto nos gusta🤤😍 Bendiciones y un abrazote para coco🐶😘
Great channel! I tried the bistec encebollado yesterday and it was excellent. Making alcapurrias today but I cheated and used a Ninja instead of grating.
Thanks for posting the video dude!! I really, really, really, enjoyed it. I have to say that you have a fantastic personality. Have a great day from Colorado Springs, Co. :-)
my friend where did you learn how to make alcapurrias? at the universidad of harvard perhaps? come down to piñones they will teach you to do alcapurrias, 🤣😂 but, i'm very proud of the puerto ricans new yorkers, for keeping our culture going strong in the big apple. keep up with the good work young man... and may GOD, BLISS you and family in the new year that's coming...🇵🇷🌈🏝🏖 from puerto rico, with love 🇵🇷🇵🇷
