Coquito is no named after the little frog (Coquí). Coquito is named after the main ingredient which is coconut. It literally means little coconut.

[@roxycarretero1575]

Where are my Puerto Rico gang?!!!!

[@cremefresam]

When he mentioned almost everyone had a garden I started laughing because it's true

[@reynaldoortiz6199]

Mentioning arroz con gandules “I don’t feel like it’s anything special” Me: screams and cries in puertorrican

[@TropicalBushman]

This is must be one of the nicest dudes on earth. Very respectful and sincere about our culture and lifestyle. Pretty much summed eveything up. We need more people like him in this world 👍🏼🇵🇷

[@alondradelosangeles370]

Actually ‘coquito’ means ‘little coconut’ because it is the main ingredient of the drink 🥥

[@dhw14]

My son is having a baby with his Puerto Rican girlfriend! She is sooooo beautiful! My grandbaby will be so cute.

[@2009daviduhs]

This guy's cool. Respectful and seemed to get most of it. I wish people that come to PR were as thougtful and aware as you are Keep coming back. My family will cook for you all your favorite things. You're part of la familia now

[@loveandpeace3545]

Thank you for being so respectful of our culture. Loved the way you spoke about your experience. Your Spanish is so good.

[@daconnoisseurrex1752]

I went to Puerto Rico numerous times. I enjoy their culture.

[@hersheysfloyd]

Thank you

[@TheOmar291992]

Really really enjoyed watching our culture from an outsiders eyes.

[@hidromielmanta]

Apparently he learned a lot from Puerto Rico and his Spanish sounds pretty good hahahahaha , 🇵🇷🤘🏼

[@FunkyNutBlast2005]

My abuela when she serves me food :Is this enough food? Me:Yes that's good like that thank you abuela. Abuela: ADDS MORE FOOD ME:😐

[@hauntedmoviehouse]

He really has the Coqui song imitated perfectly!

[@aracelisnegron1187]

the way some puertorricans pronounce the r diferent is because the colonialists came from the frontier between spain and portugal. if you hear someone speaking Portuguese , you going to see why

[@brandonirizarry6380]

Puerto Rican Spanish is very influenced by the spanish of the Canary Islands.

[@millieaviles4666]

You described Puerto Rico very well. Thank you 😊

[@Javomoreno1972]

One of the best thing in our puertorrican culture is related at the time to eat....when you are sitting in a table to eat you tell everybody "buen provecho " is like Bonna Appetite in frech. I don't know how said in English I thinking the most close could be enjoy your food I guess

[@MariaOrtiz-rm9cs]

Thank you for your respect for my beautiful island and my people, my culture.

[@amauryarce]

The "Ahí bendito" is the way we feel sorry for someone , is like we are saying "oh im so sorry"="Ahí bendito". 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 Brutal is like "awsome" and can relate as "brutal" like something huge even though "brutal" is not like a good word.

[@juniorbor5888]

Pretty accurate brother! Thanks for the respect and you'll be welcome here anytime!!! One thing! The drink Coquito is not named after the Coqui(Little Frog that sings) it is in fact named after its main ingredient which is Coconut or Coco in spanish! But Pretty Accurate video! In general but in the center of the island that "dialect" you say is actually Andalusian which is a Spanish variation from the Castillian! The official Spain Language!

[@catianamunoz5655]

Thank you for being honest about the good things and bad things about our island.

[@alexanderojeda2674]

It looks like this guy was a missionary, thanks for being in PR.

[@nellyjica4730]

I feel so bad for him for that “mugging joke” experience. Being puerto rican myself and being subject to stupid humour like that from family members, i know how he feels. We are a very interesting humor people. Lol.

[@gladys1942]

Thank you, Amigo ♥️ for sharing your experience of PUERTO RICO♥️ and your kind words regarding our culture. 🤗🙂

[@angelnegronvelazquez9379]

I have to congratulate you on being so loyal and real to how we are actually! Thank you!

[@lillianlaureanosanchez7693]

Coquito is made of coconut (coco) and not named by the little coqui frog, the beverage made of coconut and pineapple is called piña colada.

[@Mari-km1jo]

I LOVED PASTELON TOO!!

[@misaventuras6995]

Pretty respecfull and accurate for a foreigner, and good pronunciation.

[@josemalave3795]

Am happy being a true American puertorican .proud to be from both world .god bless our coltures

[@maicolmarrero9436]

He really knows what he's talking 🇵🇷 💙

[@boricuayehudim427]

We do have the Puerto Rican Boa Snake which is endemic, the "Crock" you mentioned are really Caribbean Endemic "Caymans" which were introduced here during the 50's and spread in swamp areas ☝🏾We have a spider here "Guabá" which grows much larger than a tarántula ☝🏾We also have our own eagle "Guaraguao" There is wildlife here, go to San Lorenzo and you might see deers (introduced)! Driving, good heavens, you should see how they drive in Gainesville Florida lmaoooo 😂🤣☝🏾

[@litolito1893]

Your Coqui impression is spot on 👍🏻 and you Spanish is perfect 🤙🏻

[@TheOmar291992]

About the horses, few people do it as their main way of transportation, most have them because they love horses.

[@paprmitad8591]

You've been very graceful in your comments. Thank you for your help.

[@Sheislove144]

I am a proud 100% Puerto Rican woman :)love this video

[@williamcordero1857]

I love Puerto Rico am moving there

[@matchelite220]

He had me laughing when he talked about how we dont pronounce our R's and how we shorten our words.. He's not lying 🤣🤣🤣... We Puerto Ricans have Big Big hearts...

[@TatiiNichole02]

Is funny how people that come to the island always notices the sound of the coquí and we are so used to it that we barely give attention to it.

[@aaronmatos5581]

Lol man, I understand you cuz not everybody like "morcilla".

[@Laminn206]

What a Beautiful soul!

[@carmeniparedes]

I love you, you really have study our culture. God bless you.

[@alandoodles]

This is so accurate for me and my family though wow.

[@yomayrarivera1355]

I'm Puerto Rican and I hate Morcilla 🤷 and very good Spanish👍

[@truthorsin1991]

Honestly the most accurate description I have heard from a foreigner ever.

[@DavidMedina4All]

Your imitation of the Coqui was on point 👌🏼

[@thatsyouropinion9434]

Lmaoooo Puerto Ricans Talk a lot 😂

[@lisarosario429]

Love my island and thank you💖

[@Sanyeliz]

Wow u r one of us! One of us, one of us... 😂

[@Ace-ge3vy]

So happy you're talking good bout our culture

[@islandvlogs5798]

Puerto Ricoooo🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@PEROYTUCARA]

Surprisingly accurate, very observant. Cheers. Only thing that surprised me is you did not notice the "tren urbano." To be fair, your grasp of transportation on the island is spot on. Cars are the norm indeed. But that train is surprisingly pretty popular. A lot of students and young professionals use it.

[@magg4683]

Thank you for the nice comments ❤

[@yoselynrodriguez5853]

♥️ I used to have a papaya, banana, guanábana, lime tree. Also, all the plants needed to do Sofrito! 😍

[@vcordero5924]

Thanks for letting the people know the good things about us, people tend just to say just the bad things about the bad apples that we have.

[@lydiasantiago1387]

Love Puerto Rico ❤❤❤❤

[@brayanyadielfernandez7079]

Hey hablan Español saludos desde Puerto Rico La isla del encanto🥥🥥🍌🍌🍈🍈🥭🥭🥝🥝🦀🦞🦐🦑🦪🍾🍷🍹🍸🍺🍻🥂☕🐓🦜🦎🦗🐞🕷🕸🦟🐝🐜🐛🐌🐚🐸🦅🌎🏝🏞⛰🏕🛶⛵🧨🎆🎇✨🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@sailormoonlight]

I’m so surprised he knows us so well! Hahaha! Even the breathy r! Haha

[@ricardopagan7637]

Pretty accurate. Except for the train detail. It exist but it's a really short route on the metro area

[@susanbarnes2949]

You hit it on the nail dude pretty cool my respects

[@susanbarnes2949]

The only thing you didn’t get right is Coquito Coquito is coconut flavor is dough because the coconut in it everything else and that ride 100%

[@wil6518]

That's us in a nutshell. Thanks for your honest review. 🧐

[@dietrevich]

😆 🤣 😂 he nailed down the "mira nene..." that was so ghetto...😆 🤣 😂

[@j.columbus9240]

aww he knows the basics....

[@marycastro2294]

Your puerto rican Spanish accent is on the spot. Lol😄

[@DavidMedina4All]

Correction. Not every house is made out of concrete. It may seem that way in some areas though. 😊

[@edrickfonseca6247]

As a Puerto Rican citizen, I hate cabalgatas. They only bring traffic and get in the way, it’s worst at night when you can’t see them

[@mrsdisney7120]

😲 I'm amaze how you had everything to the T. Except, I do not recall the horses😂😂😂.. Thank u.. Excelente..

[@mindy2215]

The r sound was copied from a colony of French people who lived on the island. They pronounce the r with the back of the tongue instead of the front and a Puerto Rican decided to copy them and the rest in the countryside followed them. Just listen to a french person talking in his/her language and you will know where the r comes from.

[@pirocoroosterfly]

I'm seeing y this and i feel proud. You have to come to the west side and the south west next visit to the island.

[@garrymarin7336]

Much respect, pretty accurate 👍

[@PR_GTR]

❤❤😁😁🇵🇷🇵🇷👍👍 the island is beautiful

[@robbb416]

Yup someone stole coqui and they ended up on a ship which ended up in hawaii

[@teresitasantiago639]

Wepa! It was fun hearing it from your perspective. 😛 thank you

[@cecilieacevedo5598]

Pastelon is done with yellow plantain that are fried. Pasteles are mind os like tamales and they are done using green bananas , potatoes, pumpkin,green plantain sofrito and people used different combinations.of this ingredients, etc.

[@cecilieacevedo5598]

Sorry for the typos

[@motivason]

He did the coqui perfect! 👍🏻

[@jorgemonserrate7070]

Yes, bacalao is salted codfish.

[@pabloortiz9821]

I love how much puerto rico loves its flag xd --------------------------------------------------------- Me encanta cuanto puerto rico ama su bandera xd

[@bandana24k22]

This is spot on.

[@lucymoravia360]

A PERFECT "COQUI" SOUND IMITATION. HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?

[@onlineclassificationdigita4047]

Hey you seem like a cool brother happy glad how you appreciated our island please be safe. I subscribe to your page. Your Spainish is cool.

[@maggiegarcia6860]

Thank you. Accurate information. What part of PR do you live?

[@christopherstum4876]

Can’t wait to move there. Visited many times and have fallen in love with Puerto Rico. Meeting my real estate agent there this winter to start property shopping. So excited to call PR home ❤️

[@ivettevelazquez8648]

I do not know who you are. Great job. Thank you. 🇵🇷

[@hersheysfloyd]

Yes he did. October 2020

[@ChiChisWorld]

We have the Puerto Rican Boa constrictor.

[@chayacohen2805]

The snake you saw is the “Puerto Rican boa” which is a native species. Their numbers are down because of indescriminate use of insecticides and exfoliant which poison the snake. They are useful as rodent catchers and they used to keep the iguana population down.

[@matchelite220]

The dogs that he mentioned are called "Perros Satos" (Muts) or Perros Sadnoso( Mainged dogs).. they will chase and bark but 99 percent of them will not bite they just want you to go away. 🤣🤣🤣

[@carlosgbeauty]

LOVEEEEEEE THANK YOU

[@fufi96]

There are many more animals on the island. And your Coqui impression is amazing

[@ClementePR21]

I'm from Puerto Rico and i really HATE flat roofs, ugh.

[@zarielrivera7105]

9:21 Yes! A LOT of people have dogs or well more like abandon dogs that the community has more or less kinda of collectively taken care of. But the thing is, it's better if you learn to walk with a walking stick. Something wooden and strong, lots of people will tell you, they walk with large sticks for the sake of the dogs. Now I'm not saying to go beat every dog you see in sight but if one gets too aggressive and/or close use the stick to ward them off.

[@546weya2]

So true most people be crazy driving here 😂😂 Even I hate it and I was born here.

[@raycruz858]

QUE VIVA PUERTO RICO..!!!

[@ramuneglass9233]

Very observative! Everything you said is spot on. The balcony part to rest we call it Balcon. " Hay me voy al balcon tengo calor." Something that is from Campo is , before most houses you had to go up a hill now is just flat from your Balcony to yor house living room but we still say "ya voy a subir" "im going up" even if the house is not high up. 😂😂 As a kid I would get so confused when my grandmother said that

[@nelsongonzalez8298]

Correction hahaha coquito means small coconut, coquito is the name of the beverage

[@michellenieves8007]

I think you are a LDS. Thank you for the video love it. By the way im a member from Fajardo. 🌴🌊💙☀️

[@Borialicious]

Hi Don't feel bad, I'm 100% Boricua and I don't like Morcillas either. By bicycle was also stolen lol. Everything else I love it!

[@324amgela]

Thanks for you
