@@Darkmoonrice I agree, he picked the best of the best in Puerto Rican cuisine. But please, have someone to help you with the pronunciation. Specially with the words alcapurrias, gandules, guisado, tembleque... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
Just had Alcapurrias and arroz con gandules for lunch Lolol. It’s Christmas currently, so it’s everywhere lol. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it and your presentation of it as well.
I am Puerto Rican and love my Puerto Rican food. You should also try Flan which originated in Spain and brought to Puerto Rico is an egg custard is delicious, as well as Bacalaito frito that's Cod fish fritters is also delicious. Thank you for this video. I always said that my food is the best. That's my personal opinion.
I agree my Dad made the cod fish fritters, he also made a salad with salted cod fish that he soaked to get rid of the salt. He would break it up and add onions, olives and tomatoes and olive oil. Yum!!
Thanks for Sharing this amazing food from my Pr , soon I'm going to visiting my family's in Pr , the first thing that I'm going to do is going to Piñones 😀
My favorite is pastelon the sweetness of the ripe plantains with the flavor of the meat and cheese makes the best combination. It's like having a party in your mouth. My favorite dessert is flancocho. It's a combination of flan and cake mix. Puerto Ricans may mix some things up like Pavochon a version of Lechon or Pernil flavor but with Turkey meat instead of traditional Pork and usually made for Thanksgiving. It's because we found Turkey is a dry meat and a bit unflavored and of course Puerto Ricans decided to take the same seasoning of Lechon and apply it to the Turkey meat and give it that garlic, oregano, adobo salty crispy flavor and texture and keeping the meat inside the turkey moist with monfongo stuffing and homemade chicken broth.
Mofongo and Alcapurrias are my all time favorites ♡ specifically during the holidays in the island visiting friends and family. It's really good to try Enpanadas and tostones. Love your channel so informative.
Laugh a little. These pronunciations are HILARIOUS to those who know. No shade towards this guy. Great video. We can all laugh at ourselves a little more too.
Pronunciation is very important because when people viewing this, that don't know how to pronounce the food item and goes to a Puerto Rican restaurant and repeats one of these foods, the person taking the order, will not know what he or she is talking about. Especially if their English is not too good.
@@RockstarEater God bless. You have a wonderful personally but yes as I explained on my previous comment, pronunciation is very important. But thank you so much for sharing. Much love
If you need this for school here you go: Alcapurrias, Yuca fritters filled with ground beef Arroz con gandules, rice cooked with pigeon peas Empanadillas, puerto rican version of empanadas , meat pie Mofongo, mashed green plantains with meat Pasteles, smashed green plantains filled with meat Pastelon, fried meat between plantains Pernil, Roasted pork shoulder Relleno de papa, potato balls filled with ground beef and deep fried Tembleque, coconut milk sugar and cornstarch Tostones Sliced plantains deepfried
as a puertorriqueño, love this, dont pay attention to the grammar/pronunciation dragons , puertoricans cant even say their own things correct for the most part anyways. keep up the great work 🔥✨
Our empanadillas, also known in parts of the island as pastelillos, do not have a “thicker” crust, on the contrary, it is crispy, light, and airy; we call them pastelillos “volaitos”. Its filling can be the traditional picadillo (seasoned ground beef) or chicken, cheese, jueyes (mangrove crabs), and even guava paste. Thank you for promoting interest in our Puerto Rican foods.
Being Puerto Rican, I appreciate you introducing all of these foods. I make them all and love them all. Some have made comments about your pronunciation but, honestly, you did a pretty good job. I think in any restaurant they would understand what you are talking about so, kudos for this video.
But every culture/country has amazing food of course in there own ways but not to brag the whole carribbean is the best! 🇵🇷🇯🇲🇭🇹🇩🇴🇨🇺🇧🇧🇦🇬🇦🇨🇧🇸🇹🇹🇫🇰🇵🇳🇳🇿🇲🇸🇦🇮🇦🇺🇬🇾
I love asian (Chinese, Japanese, thailand, Philippines), african (Nigeria, ghana), n south American food (Columbian, Peruvian, Mexican, Salvadoran, Ecuadorian) too😋
There is a yuca version of alcapurrias but that's not the typical and common one. The typical one is made of yautía and plantains. Great video and great selection of foods!
Funny growing up in PR #4 really wasnt that big as it's gotten. I mean mofongo was definitely a thing but there wasn't that huge craze as you see nowadays. I'd say nowadays mofongo is the most popular PR food out there. Also, I'm a horrible Puerto Rican cause I absolutely hate #5 pasteles. That's a Christmas time sort of food but I remember all my relatives would always put one on my plate and I'd eat everything but the pastel. I'd recommend another one that's not on your list, but this one is more of a street food fare, I HIGHLY recommend La Tripleta sandwich. It is amazing!
I’m 59 and I always remember Mofongo being very big in Puerto Rico. In fact, in the 60’s there was a big place near Bayamon famous for their Mofongo, which at that time was only served with Caldo de Pollo, not the red sauces they use now. The place burned down but it was called ‘El Pilon’. It was always packed.
Con tanta comida deliciosa que tiene la Isla, menciono pura fritura..🤔 1- Piña Colada (batido con ron o sin ron) y Coquito (bebida) ambos de origen puertorriqueño 2- Serenata de Bacalao 3- Asopao de mariscos 4- Pinchos mixtos 5- Gazpacho de Bacalao 6- Mollejitas de pollo con guineos en escabeche 7- Bacalaitos 8- Chuletas a la jardinera 9 Sorullitos de maiz 10 Ensalada de pulpo
Thank's appreciate your time to talk about from my Culture and traditional food. You can find lots a recipe in my channel how to make from scratch Awww tembleque is like custard just coconut 🥥very easy to make. About Alcapurrias you can make it if you want just need very green bananas and make ground beef with sofrito green olive tomato sauce & sazón with annatto Goya. Thank's again for mentioning 11 Puerto Rican food You need try Asopao is like Risotto but Our is Caribbean style. Asopao you can make with Gandules Shrimp Chicken Beef Pork Or only veggies it's a comfort food 😋
Pasteles are made different ways, not necessarily from plantains. We can make them from green bananas and/or a combination of roots such as yautia, malanga, ñame, and yuca.
I am third generation Puerto Rican and didn't grow up near family that spoke Spanish and cooked Puerto Rican food. All I know is Mexican food, because all the Hispanics where I live are Mexican. Always wondered what Puerto Ricans ate.
@@jasonsilva3523 I live in PR I never heard of anyone battering them. Honestly battering would ruin them. Also my gramma make fkn killer tostones de pana
As a representative of the Puerto Rican community I agree 100% with what this man said, a.k.a. if you see these foods being sold in a restaurant eat them you will not regret it.
Believe it or not, I'm planning on making these foods after doing research. Growing up I've only had a handful of Puerto Rican foods since my dad was a horrendously awful cook. Also, Arroz con gandules is absolutely delicious. You all genuinely need to try it.
I love this! Thank you for loving our food and for honoring our culture! You’re invited over anytime for some PolaRicsn home cooking! (PolaRican cuz my wife is Polish.)
Nice video!!! I had to mention that you have 2 versions of Pastelon. One was the traditional pastelon made with sweet ripped plantains and the second one was made with mash potatoes, similar to the Shepherds pie... much love bro✌
You got it backwards. Traditional pastelón is made with mashed potatoes. The one made with ripe plantains (amarillos o maduros) is called piñón. (Check the recipe in PR's cooking "bible" Cocina Criolla o PR Cookery de Carmen Aboy de Valdejuli). :)
Puerto Rican also love turrones, pasta de guallaba with quesito de el pais and dulce de naranja and also dulce de leche and arroz con dulce and pan de maiz or pan de maiz with pasas, coco, vanilla, canela, leche, leche pasteurized too.
The difference between pasteles and tamales is tamales are made with corn flour and pasteles are made with plantains green bananas and etc. And tamales are steamed and pasteles are boiled in water. But I agree with how delicious my island food is and you forgot bacalaitos
Was mix two dishes piñon is the one made like lasagña but with ripe platain insted of pasta and pastelon is similar but with mash potato insted of pasta. You put two different picture (dishes) in the same name. I know could be confuising
Orenitas de cerdo con gineitos al escabeche is another Yummy thing to eat in Puerto Rico but like my mother cook that nobody believe and she also make a very sabroso padtelon and also lrngua de Baca mechada o rellena
what ever happen to bacalaitos, budin, arroz dulce, theres alot more foods but I understand this is only 10 must try. pasteles are not similar to tamales, pasteles are made out of a lot of root food and tamales are only made from corn & if I'm not mistaken tamales are steamed and pasteles are boiled in salt water, the only thing they are in similarity is the way they wrap them.
Pasteles are different from tamales. Tamales only have maza and meat.pasteles have so many different ingredients and they taste better than tamales. Sorry to tell the truth but I think he should of included pastaellios and morceas bacalo salad. Pana peppitta.
Great job on YOUR 10. My 10 are ... 1) Gasparcho 2) Patas De Lechon 3) Bacalaitos 4) Biste ensevollado con arroz 5) Beef Tripe con Verdura (Batata, Malanga, guineo, platanos) 6) Arroz con dulce 7) Pinchos con arroz 8) Carne guisa con arroz 9) Beef Ribs Stew 10) Sorullos con Bacalao
The problem with other Latinos food is that they don't have the rice and beans together cooking together. They eat rice and beans separately. But in reality the rice and beans are going in the same mouth. I live in California right now and all the Spanish food here is bland and has nothing on food from Puerto Rico. I bet if a Puerto Rican open up a restaurant here in California I bet they will be competing against other Latinos food but I already know that the food from Puerto Rico is 100 times better than the other Latin country food
You're right doña Denice I eat the rice and habichuelas cooked apart but when ready to eat I mixed them in the plate with "mucho caldito". I don't like dry cooked rice. IMO
You know, chinese food in Puerto Rico is like from another world. They have adopted some of our flavors and for whatever reason their food tastes (in my humble rican opinion) better than what you can find in the states. I would kill for some Rican Style Chinese food 🤤
Caribbean style Chinese food is way better than the U.S Chinese as you said because they adapt some of the local flavors. Trinidad Chinese food is soo good.
Great video. Spot on as well. I, like many of the other commenters am from Puerto Rico as well and still live here. Would love to see you rate some of our stew type meals. Sancocho, Carne Guisada, Cuajito, Mondongo...so forth and so on. I feel like these are things tourists don’t normally eat and would love to hear some reactions.
Let me also add, although we are a small island, there are 100 different ways to make each of our meals and the recipes will differ depending on where you are, and sometimes within even family. So while some people may use guineo Verde for pasteles, there are people who use guineo mixed with yuca, pana plátano, mafafo. Hell, I have an aunt who makes them with corned beef because she can’t eat lechón (her religion). There is no 1 way to do it. Part of the beauty of our food. Next time anyone is here take yourself on a good Chinchorreo, you’ll eat well and from different parts of the island. The drinking and music helps too!
Thanks for shearing about are food im a Puerto Rican and i love my food and cooking is my favorite i make all that you mention and more thanks i enjoy this video very much.
Great job and thanks for showcasing the wonderful food of Puerto Rico,must include the fantastic seafood of the island,Arroz con jueyes,pescado al mojo,langosta a la parrilla,pulpo,carrucho,camarones y almejas,Puerto Rico is a tiny continent.

Cynthia, you're half right. You method is the standard, but some boricua families use a wet batter after the first fry to add flavor/seasoning.

@@felixperez1995 Actually batter is not the best word for my wife and others do. It's more a sauce or marinade, similar to mojo.

Orenitas de cerdo con gineitos al escabeche is another Yummy thing to eat in Puerto Rico but like my mother cook that nobody believe and she also make a very sabroso padtelon and also lrngua de Baca mechada o rellena
Monfongo, Alcapurrias, Empanadillas and relleno con papa are my favorite Puerto rican foods.
Saludos desde Puerto Rico 😉✌

@@RockstarEater Ok, thanks and I already subscribed your channel.
what ever happen to bacalaitos, budin, arroz dulce, theres alot more foods but I understand this is only 10 must try. pasteles are not similar to tamales, pasteles are made out of a lot of root food and tamales are only made from corn & if I'm not mistaken tamales are steamed and pasteles are boiled in salt water, the only thing they are in similarity is the way they wrap them.
Thanks. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
Pasteles are different from tamales. Tamales only have maza and meat.pasteles have so many different ingredients and they taste better than tamales. Sorry to tell the truth but I think he should of included pastaellios and morceas bacalo salad. Pana peppitta.
Great job on YOUR 10.
My 10 are ...
1) Gasparcho
2) Patas De Lechon
3) Bacalaitos
4) Biste ensevollado con arroz
5) Beef Tripe con Verdura (Batata, Malanga, guineo, platanos)
6) Arroz con dulce
7) Pinchos con arroz
8) Carne guisa con arroz
9) Beef Ribs Stew
10) Sorullos con Bacalao

When you eat rise in Puerto Rico and they give you abichuelas guisadas you need to eat both things at the same time no separating
The problem with other Latinos food is that they don't have the rice and beans together cooking together. They eat rice and beans separately. But in reality the rice and beans are going in the same mouth. I live in California right now and all the Spanish food here is bland and has nothing on food from Puerto Rico. I bet if a Puerto Rican open up a restaurant here in California I bet they will be competing against other Latinos food but I already know that the food from Puerto Rico is 100 times better than the other Latin country food
@@AntonioLopez-gm1nh watch his other vid where he visits a PR Rest. in North Hollywood. Very good vid.
You're right doña Denice I eat the rice and habichuelas cooked apart but when ready to eat I mixed them in the plate with "mucho caldito". I don't like dry cooked rice. IMO
@@joeycarr1398 it's best with a slice of avocado mixed in.
@@luisaymerich9675 you are not Puerto Rican
You know, chinese food in Puerto Rico is like from another world. They have adopted some of our flavors and for whatever reason their food tastes (in my humble rican opinion) better than what you can find in the states. I would kill for some Rican Style Chinese food 🤤
Sounds interesting. Thanks. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos this year!!
Caribbean style Chinese food is way better than the U.S Chinese as you said because they adapt some of the local flavors. Trinidad Chinese food is soo good.
@@nipbru92 Exactly and i like Caribbean style chinese food so much.
Yes I had all off them and I cook all off those dishes and more than you

Pasteles are made with GREEN BANANAS, NOT PLANTAINS. And yautia, pumpkin for the dough.

Great video. Spot on as well. I, like many of the other commenters am from Puerto Rico as well and still live here. Would love to see you rate some of our stew type meals. Sancocho, Carne Guisada, Cuajito, Mondongo...so forth and so on. I feel like these are things tourists don’t normally eat and would love to hear some reactions.
Awesome, thank you! Share this awesome video with others :)
The host is a pleasant personality. This is actually viewable.
Let me also add, although we are a small island, there are 100 different ways to make each of our meals and the recipes will differ depending on where you are, and sometimes within even family. So while some people may use guineo Verde for pasteles, there are people who use guineo mixed with yuca, pana plátano, mafafo. Hell, I have an aunt who makes them with corned beef because she can’t eat lechón (her religion). There is no 1 way to do it. Part of the beauty of our food.
Next time anyone is here take yourself on a good Chinchorreo, you’ll eat well and from different parts of the island. The drinking and music helps too!
Sounds good.
Puerto Rican Lengua mechada o rellena is too good too
Thanks for the info. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos this year!
@@RockstarEater/ No problem I like. Your channel
The alcapurrias you find it made with yuca,but really it's made with green plantain, but from some years to now you find it with yuca.
