[@kings17court]

I appreciate the tips on places to eat that you share in your videos. I wanted to share an opinion on a lechonera/restaurant in Cayey, that's not on the Pork Highway, but I feel is better than the ones in Guavate. It's called EL CUNAO, and it's on a mountain road (PR-1) in Cayey, right on a curve. I must admit, it's been more than 5 years since I went there, but it was so good that it really made a lasting impression with me. TRUE authentic tasting Puerto Rican food is hard to find lately in Puerto Rico. I don't know why, but I really find that to be the case. So when you find it, it sticks with you. The time that we went, it was with a group of family, and there were a lot of different dishes ordered, and EVERYTHING I tasted and sampled was spot on. Fresh tasting, perfectly seasoned, and great flavors. Whether it was the meats, the stews, the rices, the beans, or whatever, everything was great, and tasted like the great, authentic PR flavors that I grew up on. Even though it's labeled as a lechonera, think of it more of a restaurant, because they feature a lot more than just pork. Last time I passed it, it was closed, which broke my heart. But if you are ever in the area, I would definitely recommend it. It's a sit down, with good service, good food, and reasonable prices. Five years ago is a long time, and who knows, maybe things have changed, but if you are in the area and give it a try, let me know what you think. And if you know of a great traditional criollo restaurant, let us know.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Oh wow! Thank you for the lead! I just checked on Facebook and they seem to be pretty active currently so it seems it is open! I'll have to add it to my list of places to visit! I can't pass up such a great experience. I'll report back to you when I end up visiting. haha

Im glad to see an accurate representation of pastelillos, empanadas, and empanadillas in particular. They are, in fact, the same thing. The name we give them depends mostly on where we grew up. I dont remember ever hearing "empanadas" in P.R., but I do hear it in southern or central american cultures.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Haha thank you! I think the debate is kinda serious but also kind of a joke jaja there are differences between pastelillos and empanadillas but the difference is just on how the edge is folded, everything else is essentially the same 😂 Thanks for leaving a comment and watching my videos! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

I enjoyed the video and look forward to trying each food on my next visit. I imagine the name bacalaritos comes from the traditional Italian dish, baccala, which is salted dried cod.

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hey!! Thank you for your comment! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷 So, we call cod fish bacalao, so bacalaitos is derived from that, but for sure it has to have some sort of connection to baccala haha

[@43Magicman]

Bacalaitos, or cod fritters, are a Puerto Rican staple. They are flat and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Bacalaitos are typically sold at food kiosks along the country's beaches. Although they first appeared during the time of the Spanish explorers, they originated in Africa.

Thank you!!! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

Man it all looks amazing

[@BriksTravelGuides]

If only you could smell all that delicious food! 😱🇵🇷😂

[@annphelan4617]

are the kiosks in Piñones and Loquillo open M, T and W?

[@LeskoBrandon2x]

Some are closed Monday and Tuesday, but at least 1 will be open, but stay out of piñones when it gets dark. If you do, stay in well populated areas. That area is no joke. Also, the police there will ticket you if you park on the side of the road and the tickets are not cheap. Try to find a parking spot.

Fantastic answer from Lesko Brandon! Thanks for helping Ann out! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

Beautiful video. I heard that there's a place to do some Hang Gliding and Camel Riding. Do you know of this place? Thank You

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Thank you, Jimmy!! Appreciate the support! Wow, I honestly have no idea. 😅 I know that you can go skydiving in the municipality of Arecibo if that interest you! 🪂

[@cjcloudprincess]

Part 2 please!!!

[@BriksTravelGuides]

For sure, Carol! So many foods that did not make the cut, but are too delicious to not include in a part 2 of this video! 😋🇵🇷🙌🏼

[@tombrett1067]

Great list! But what about pana?

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Definitely! Currently working on another food video so I’ll likely include pana in it somehow!

[@yucaprieta]

I miss the strech from like toalta /toabaja to dorado ( going the way that borders the beach after Rio Hondo mall where golden skillet ( really old kfc/ church's fried chicken place in my opinion better than both) was) till la curva caracoles, that was basicly the same as pi~ones

[@BriksTravelGuides]

I’ve been very few times down that road, but the few times I’ve been there it has been beautiful! Next time I’ll try to stop by to eat some food! Thank you for your comment! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷

Pastelón is where it’s at!

You def know what you’re talking about! Haha Watch out for my next video on food coming soon!! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@marisv2]

Hmm…I wonder how far is Piñones from Isla Verde? Do the kiosk open early? Noontime? 🤔

[@marianacosta2234]

Actually is not far, its like 15-20 min drive or less.

[@marisv2]

@@marianacosta2234 Awesome! Thank you!

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hey Maris! Like Marian said, Piñones is not far at all from Isla Verde. Depending on the traffic and where you’re specifically starting and going, it could take you even less than 15 minutes. Think about it as a straight: two points in the middle might be close together, but the two points at the end are further apart. That’s kind of the case with Isla Verde and Piñones. Hope that was helpful!

@@BriksTravelGuides Gracias!

[@kkgirl543]

I tried most things on this list.. except the bacalaitos y quesito!! I wish I got to :(

[@BriksTravelGuides]

That’s amazing though! You might need to come back because I’m working on another food video and it has way more than 10 foods 😂🙌🏼🇵🇷

[@dhunsi1340]

What is the difference between pernil and lechon? I always thought pernil was pork shoulder roasted in the oven and lechon was spit roasted. And I’ve always called my ripe yellow plátanos maduros. Help!

[@neenuhcruz]

youre right!

[@christinamartinelli3433]

[@BriksTravelGuides]

Hey Christina! Unfortunately I do not at the moment. I’m in the process of getting certified to do so soon! 🙏🏼🇵🇷
