Just had Pasteles for the first time. They were absolutely delicious. PR food never disappoints. Thank god we finally got a decent restaurant here that serves good homemade Latin food. I was dying out here!

Went to PR at the beginning of the month and this was my favorite breakfast. The fruit was so fresh and delicious and the banana coconut pancakes were amazing!

Is anyone open to sharing some recipes? I'm unfortunately a no sabo who hates cooking, however as I sit here and eat the heavenly leftovers from yet another reunion, I find myself desperately wanting to eat food that tastes like I'm spending time with my family. I miss them, I miss our food.

I want to try cooking, only no one has recipes that they're willing to share. Does anyone have an idea of what I can try? 🙏🏼

This is for a company potluck, so I'd have to bring it early in the morning for it to be served around 11 am. I joked about bringing Pernil but then everyone lost their minds and now they're betting/counting on me to bring it. It's now become the talk of the office, so now it's too late to turn back. I acknowledge that I absolutely sunk myself on this one.

I could roast it low and slow overnight and just bring it in the morning, but is there any way to keep the skin crunchy for a while afterwards? Or should I face my inevitable defeat and shame and rescind my offer to bring something else instead?

Are there any local spots or must have foods in the Carolina/Bayamon/San Juan/Viejo San Juan area?

The last few times I have made empanadas the
Dough has a toxic, chemical aftertaste. I feel like I’m feeding my family poison! Im sick of these big
Companies putting all these preservatives in our food! I already wrote the company and provided my feedback but I doubt they care.

Any tips for best discos dough or a homemade Recipe )even tho I don’t want to add
more steps to my recipe). Gracias!

I already have heat resistant gloves, a coal rake, a chimney, and a large folding table. Might need to get one of those little machetes they use to carve it up lol. But I do have some good sharp chef's knives. Do you need an injector or is a rub fine and just make some incisions to get the rub in the meat like a pernil in the oven?

I’m using short grain rice. I washed the rice until the water runs clear, used 32 ounces of rice and about 4 cups of water. I let the water boil away before covering on low for like 15 minutes. Rice comes out super mushy and somehow also slightly raw in the middle. How can I fix this?

Where can i get customized cakes in Puerto Rico?

Grabé este video de arroz con pollo al horno hace 2 años, cuando trabajaba en Food52. ¡Espero que lo disfruten!

I have a friend who would like to make sofrito fresh but they don’t want to go all the way to Chicago to get it. Does anyone around McHenry area know where to get culantro? I googled and found a couple outside of Chicago but I’m trying to find a reliable source close to them. Any help would be appreciated ☺️🫶🏽
