Puerto Rican Food

Food is one of my favorite things.  That's probably why I have some extra cushion :)  I love to try new things and I had fun researching what to eat during our vacation to Puerto Rico.  The main thing I saw from every post was Mofongo and Plantains.  Of course, this is what I had to order numerous times!  Rather than tell you what it is, what's inside it, and how you make it, I will show you pictures.  Every restaurant made Mofongo and Plantains differently.  There are other different foods we ate as well that are also worthy of being seen :)

Chicken Empanadas with red beans and rice on the side at "Bananas"

Fish Tacos at "Bananas"

Pork Mofongo Spring Rolls with fresh Coleslaw on the side at "Bananas"

Lemon Shark Bites at "La Vista"

Tostones (fried, mashed plantains) at "La Vista"

Seafood Mofongo at "La Vista"

Key lime pie at "La Vista"

Red beans and rice with 1/4 rack of BBQ ribs at "Hortas"

Red beans and rice on the side at "Hortas" with a salad

Isn't this considered food on the beach?  Rum, Mojitos, Medallas & cheese sticks??


Jerk Chicken Rangoons from "Bananas"


The picture is poor quality, but this is Garlic Basil Gorgonzola Bread from "Bananas"

Chicken Taco from "Coqui Fire" with beans and rice on the side

Carnitas with black beans and rice, served with warm corn tortillas at "Coqui Fire"


Big Kahuna from "Coqui Fire"

Coqui Fire Margaritas...They had some spice to them because of the salt!


Coqui Fire sauce! Go to their website and buy some! You WON'T be disappointed! Yummmmmm!!!


So, when you travel, research the local cuisine and try it out!

XOXO...Becky
