    When you're in Puerto Rico don't go to a restaurant hungry.. it usually takes more than an hour 🙃 before your order is ready...
  • I really enjoyed your video. Living out of Puerto Rico for the last 30 years (26 years in Florida and 4 in Spain) I dream to get back to the island. Now, I do have a question. The title of your video is "Living in Puerto Rico as a Foreigner." Do you feel a foreigner in Puerto Rico? I am asking because Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. There New Yorkers that have moved to Mississippi, Bostonians relocating to Texas, or people from Michigan beginning a new life in North Carolina and in spite of the cultural differences and shock the get through, none of them call themselves foreigners in these places. This is not a critique to you and it is indeed a curiosity I have since you are not the only person coming from the mainland U.S. to the island that refers himself or herself as a foreigner. Once again, THANK YOU for your amazing video.

    It’s called plantains And the empanada is also called empanada de pizza. Sort of like a calzone but is filled with cheese and then fried. Rent is cheap in PR but people live below poverty level. The politicians are corrupt in the worse way and you make no money working which is the reason there is so much crime. And I am not criticizing those are all facts. And I have lived there so I know. Almost my entire family has moved out of the island. People don’t progress there.

    Yes we do eat mofongo without meat. Sometimes just with a chicken or fish broth or mayocatsup.

    Great video! The longer you leave in PR the more you will learn about our customs and food! Love your attitude about life!
  • @Lugito9618
    The regular tostones in PR are made out of plantains , but there’s also breadfruit but is not the original tostones or in english fried plantains !

    Hi beautiful! I don't like the word foreigner. Personally, I don't see anyone as a foreigner. Feel well and be happy, you are home. Thank You for your kind words!
