Wow, those sandwiches looks awesome! I'll go there to eat at Malavita, thank you for showing this new place.

[@IdForkIt]

@@user-of5wh8xf9k Thank you for stopping by! Welcome to the channel 🥳 And let me know what you think when you make it to Malavita!

[@AlejandroRodriguez-cc6go]

You should go to the west area Rincon beautiful beaches people from USA moving there nice place 🇵🇷👍

[@IdForkIt]

Yes! I love Rincon! Great idea to take this on the road 🍽️🚗

[@junito587]

If you want to eat a good and tasteful sandwich, you should go to one of the bakeries in San Juan and look for the tripleta sandwich, with 3 different meats or you can try the medianoche, Jibarito sandwich is very delicious as well.

[@IdForkIt]

I LOVVVVVE me a tripleta! Definitely need to fork there and try your suggestions as well! Do you have any bakery in mind that you can recommend?

[@elchappy2809]

Most bakeries make great sandwiches, but Casa España is also a bakery. Cafe's make tripletas in PR too.

[@samarycastro]

Was NOT aware sandwiches like these existed in PR! 😳 I’m definitely taking a trip to try. Thanks girly!! ❤

[@IdForkIt]

Yes! This sandwich answered my dreams 🤤 Let me know what you think!

[@ElijahLou]

[@IdForkIt]

It forks so hard! 🤤

[@mannymakingmoves]

Wow wow wow 🎤 drop speechless

[@IdForkIt]

@@mannymakingmoves you have to try this 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@iceling01]

The best ones are in... - Casa España - Isla Verde, SJ

[@IdForkIt]

Ooooo thanks for the tip! Will need to check that out 🍽️

[@elchappy2809]

You are right, but both are good, though the pastries in Casa España are delicious.❤

[@AlejandroRodriguez-cc6go]

Good video 🇵🇷👍

[@IdForkIt]

@@AlejandroRodriguez-cc6go Thank you for stopping by! Let me know where else I should go! I bet you know a good place 🍽️

[@CarlosTorres-xq8fn]

One of the world's best kept secret San Juan PR

[@IdForkIt]

Right?! I was reluctant to put it out there but can’t keep all this deliciousness to myself 🍽️

[@danlewis4886]

I'm glad I'm italian. 🤣

[@IdForkIt]

@@danlewis4886 I’m glad you are too! And also jealous 🍽️🤤🍽️

[@tedfebo1741]

I'm glad I'm Puerto Rican.

[@gabyz.2585]

I liked your video! I would suggest lowering the music a little bit so we can hear you better.

[@IdForkIt]

Thank you so much! Yes we are working on it since we are very much beginners in making videos! 🙈 But thanks to comments like this we can know what to work on. I appreciate it! 🙏

[@alfredopomales7286]

You sure are not selling the sandwiches.

[@IdForkIt]

Everyone has their own taste! Let’s celebrate that🥳

[@celimardejesus7857]

An Italian deli in Viejo San Juan???!!! Nena, byeeeeee!

[@IdForkIt]

Owned by a Boricua couple who lived in NY for a while with Italian roots. How cool is that! Worth checking out of you want something a bit different! 🍽️

[@petenieto1575]

Disagree. You go to any hole in the wall mom and pop restaurant around there and order a pernil sandwich that blows that away.

[@IdForkIt]

Challenge accepted! Any particular recommendations?

[@petenieto1575]

@@IdForkIt lol nice! No particular place. Just a blanket statement to try any one of those hole in the wall places where abuelita is making pernil in the kitchen. Gotta be better than a charcuterie sandwich that you can get in many places stateside no matter how good it is. At least for me personally. I was psyched about a great sandwich shop in SJ and was dissapointed to see an Italian deli rather than authentic food from there. Especially since there are so many great Italian deli's in the Northeast and so few PR places where I live.

[@IdForkIt]

@ Yeah, you are totally right! We all have a different palette so I want to do this right and I appreciate the comment. Malavita for me has the taste that I love and I do in all honesty need to adjust my weird taste buds and expand my adventures to meet more abuelas with the real deal sammys that are legit puertorriqueño! I’m just starting out so I appreciate the comment and will try more places for you! Thank you for the feedback!🙏

[@petenieto1575]

@@IdForkIt Nothing weird about your taste buds. Everybody has what the like!

[@elchappy2809]

Los Gapos which is a chain of outdoor eateries make incredible tripletas!

[@djchino774]

Those are the most gringo sandwiches I've ever seen in the island. Nothing boricua about them

[@IdForkIt]

We are looking to explore all kinds of food around the island and beyond! We welcome any suggestions so let us know where to go next!

[@gabyz.2585]

she never claimed these were puertorican.... relax.

[@tedfebo1741]

Not gringo, Italian.

[@elchappy2809]

Ricomini Bakery make great sanwiches, pastries. Some of them have great hot meals. They are also on the West Side of the Island.

[@elle9604]

I don’t know why you would post a fake Italian spot in my country Puerto Rico. If you ever go back to Puerto Rico, you should only show genuine authentic Puerto Rican dishes.

[@IdForkIt]

I love that you have so much passion for Puerto Rican food! 🇵🇷 I also love tostones, carne frita and mofongo 🤤🤤🤤 We live in Viejo San Juan as residents and decided to just play around town at different restaurants and find different tastes! But let me know your favorite place and where to go next! Definitely open to suggestions and we are just getting started 🙏
