Old San Juan NEVER gets old
Watching a video on San Juan restaurants and you don't go to one because it serves Puerto Rican food. SMH. 🤦
T Morrison probably she wanted to try other cuisines!!! Nothing wrong with that. There’s plenty of options in old san juan
It's like going to japan and not eating japanese food. Or going to italy and not eating italian food. Air head.
Angel diaz you idiot I actually went to japan and ate all kinds of food. She never claimed that she didn’t eat puertorican food while in puerto rico... she is just showing people that there are other options!!! Maybe she ate puertorican food the rest of her stay and she was tired of it!
@@gmagain thanks for the backup! :)
@@mgdiaz2158 Thanks for watching Angel! My husband and I lived in PR and ate lots of delicious PR cuisine, we were just looking for something different that day! :)
Hola! Soy de Puerto Rico!
Gracias por hacer video tan lindo mostrando las bellezas de la isla!!!
You go to PR and eat pizza. You lost me after that
How about eating PR food.
You should to pizza is BOMB in PR, I used to feel the same way you did until I was forced to do it and I was so glad I did so now every time I go there I get a slice of Puerto Rican pizza!!
Glad that you guys are enjoying PR!
Thank you Carlos!
The other day I visited El Jibarito Restaurant in Calle Sol in Old SanJuan, the best Trifongo Ihave ever eat.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing with us!!
kanorys Velez you should check out ALO&SEL on youtube, they recently visited Puerto Rico too🇵🇷
@kanorys Velez Thank you for the suggestion! I'll be there soon and will check it out ✌️
So glad to hear you'll be visiting soon!@@lauralenau590
She can just said “I want something different” instead of “I don’t want Puertorican food” 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ 🙄
Goes to Puerto Rico and doesn’t want Puerto Rican food... these colonizers kill me LOL
Living in Puerto Rico I eat a ton of PR food, so that day PR food was not what I wanted! Lol
Nice video. I love Puerto Rico
I recently posted a video about my experience in PR 😊
WAZE is the best app for navigation in PR. It has never failed me.
Thanks for the tip!
When there was no freaking virus and we all were so happy.In P Rico and in the States and everywhere.
If you are traveling to any place out of your country it is dum to pretend to take your culture with you. What makes any traveling is knowing and respecting the unknown cultures of the place you visit
My island is so beautiful heading up there in a couple weeks, I can’t wait. Next time you can try in Old SJ Deaverdura, Raíces, el Jibarito for more authentic food. If you want more authentic experience drive out of SJ to Guavate try arroz con gandules and roasted pork (lechón asado). For delicious sea food drive south so many options but in Salinas beach you can find a rest call El Dorado delicious sea food.
Thanks for the tips!
Guavate is da bomb...screw your diet and indulge in the best roast pork in the world....seriously
My first visit to Deaverdura was 5 months before Hurricane Maria touched down. They had some really delicious food. Expect not to be given a menu - they explain what foods they have that day. But you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose.
We didn’t want “Puertorican Food” 🤦🏾♀️
(EL GRIFO) Vegan Restaurant in Caguas,P.R.
In Puerto Rico but wants to eat pizza? Wtf 🤦🏼♀️
Whats the problem? She can eat whatever she wants. Not everyone has to like Puerto Rican food.
Jaclyn Why not? You are in the USA and want to eat Arroz y Habs.
I’m Puerto Rican and Old San Juan is full of a lot of different options all with a Caribbean twist. Nothing wrong with you wanting to try different things. Most importantly you did a beautiful job catching the essence of San Juan in your video. Beautiful job!
Thank you for your kind words! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Loving your videos always, thank you!
Thank you Carlos!
Great video - heading to Condado with my wife in 15 days!
Hope you enjoy your visit!!
Try some authentic puerto rican food is the best
I love the rice and beans!!!!
Try the Puerto Rican Pastelon with white Rice and Guava or Tamarindo sauce !! Delicious!! Starch!!!
Where at?
These videos put me to tears because it’s so beautiful there... my heart is so set on moving there but there is little safety there...with my two little girls I am too scared.... recent news here in the states say there a very few cops on the island and shootouts could happen midday easily....I DO LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND EVEN THOUGH WE DONT KNOW ONE ANOTHER YOU ARE SO BLESSED AND I AM HAPPY YOU ARE ENJOYING IT THERE 💕keep them coming and stay safe
Thank you so much! That is so sweet of you! It makes me happy that you are impacted by them in a great way! XO
you should check out ALO&SEL on youtube, they recently visited Puerto Rico too🇵🇷
There's more than 15 thousand cops in the island, down from more than 21 thousand that we used to have but still more than just a few cops. We do have a high murder rate but it's down 33% this year. The mainstream media coverage was for the two shootings that occurred midday in the beginning of the year but even then the statistics were showing less murders. The FBI estimates that 70% of murders in Puerto Rico are related to drug trafficking.
Hi thank you for the update! Is there a reference for this information anywhere? @@efrainrondon5753
@@Christine1025 I'm looking for good references about how many police officers we have. I can only say for sure we have around 12,000 state police but municipal police is harder to find out. It is true we have way less than what we used to have and it's mainly because mainland police departments love recruiting cops from Puerto Rico and obviously we can't compete with the salaries from the mainland and the police academy was closed for multiple years but recently they announced it will open again and about 1000 people applied for the first class of 200 new officers.
Just a few of my favorite: Zafra in Gurabo, Ikakos in Naguabo, Playa Brava in Arecibo, Marmelade in Old San Juan, Hacienda Muñoz in San Lorenzo.
Yes, isn't Hacienda Munoz great?! The entire property is just a special treat.
Puerto Rico has all kind of food and is good that is featured in this video so people has an idea that there are a lot of choices, however, it would have been nice to show their tipical awesome puertorrican food. A lot of people likes to see or learn about typical puertorrican food, restaurants and prices, being that is so different from Mexican food as is what, in general american people think it taste when they hear about puertorrican food. I know you could find some of it in the States but it doesn't taste the same. I don't think I would have been able to resist trying the traditional Italian food, if I am in Italy, or any country consequently and I have a lot of food restrictions. Is just part of the learning experience.
Hey Grace! I made sure to have people add their favorite PR old San Juan restaurants in the comments, so there are some resources there you can check out! Because I was living in PR, I've had lots of PR food!
Thanks for watching!
@@mckaylabee4589 Hey McKayla, thank you for responding. I'm from Puerto Rico, so I know my way around. And is nice that you added information about typical puertorrican food in the description box, ( I trust you, I haven'tcheck). I don't think you made a reference of typical puertorrican food in the video, thou. I think you only mentioned the places you ate in your video and if people were interested at the places you ate to look at the description box below. Not typical food in PR. By the comments in these video, there are a great amount of dissatisfaction as typical Puertorrican food is huge in PR as a tourist attraction. It has a lot of history from people that came from all over the world from "Conquistador" time. Although, people asume as common sence puertorrican food has African, Taino and Spaniards influences; the are many others; such as Irish, French, German, Jewish, etc. reflected in the extensive dishes from their culinary cuisine. Including, the Taino trades before colonization, leads the creation of of dishes that we enjoy today. People like to share legends that are part of the history and the idiosyncrasy of a culture. I get that not many people are adventurous or are free to get out of their diet and San Juan offers a limited amount of dishes of an american version ( confort food) of what puertorrican food is as is a tourist area. I encourage you, the next time you may go to PR, research more into the puertorrican cuisine to look for the healthy choices that were part of their daily meals. Do you know there is a town in the middle of the Island where people get to live over 100 years old without any major disease? It is attributed to their diet and clean air.
How amazing! What is the town called?@@gracer7943
@@mckaylabee4589 The town of Jayuya. Some organization from the Main land started a study around 20 years ago trying to discover what was the cause of it. I don't know what happened with that study. Their citizens believed as I mentioned before that it could have been their diet and clean air. They used to eat more root vegetables, salads and fruits. The town is near to another rain forest where their winters temperature could reach close to 35 degrees farenheit. They grow their own coffee and tomatoes. The the town is known as the Tomato town. They hold a Tomato festival with all their great amount of tomatoes recipes. I personally love their Tomatoes marmalade hot over vanilla icecream. Delish!
Note: Do not confuse this Tomato festival with the one in Spain. There is no parade and no tomato is thrown at anyone.
Mojito comes from Cubs. Why you you say. Puerto Ricicans make s good drink. Smh
Our favorite was St Germain cafe the food was pretty refreshing after having so much fried food! Senor paleta was also a nice treat especially on a hot day. We went a few weeks ago. Just started posting our vlogs and more on the way
I am glad you enjoyed Puerto Rico!! I will have to check out St. Germain when I go back!
Where do you recommend parking when visiting Old San Juan? Thank you for your helpful videos!!
Hey Abby! If you go to my website you will see a blog post about Old San Juan and it will reference a few places to park!
Hope that helps!
Thanks so much!!
You went all the way to PR to have pizza, tacos and chipotle 🧐 smh 👎🏽
I lived there so it wasn't like a one time shot! lol
Love Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
👍👍
Stuffed Avocado looks like delicious Yucatecan/Mexican food. Please realize that is NOT Puerto Rican. The chapel and tacos are not Puerto Rican either. Puerto Ricans don't eat corn or flour tortillas commonly in every meal. The food in Puerto Rico doesn't have much similarity with a lot of Mexican cuisine. It bothers me that Americans expect Mexican food in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Please realize that even in Mexico there is a lot of regional variation. I would not expect British food in the USA. Just because a nation speaks Spanish doesn't mean they eat tacos. I really don't like this young woman in the videos attitude. She is boring and not very intelligent. I am sorry she sounds terrible.
You do good in your videos. You seem very natural. This area is pretty. I would like to visit.
Thank you for your sweet words! It is beautiful!!
Did you get anything at Senor Paleta?
Yes, their popsicles are amazing!
I’m going in December what’s the weather like at that time? You videos is preparing me for San Juan I’m super excited.
Its warm all year! The mornings are a little cooler in the mountains in December but still warm!
It rains a lot in December, but is still hot in San Juan. Is at least 10 degrees less in the mountains, outside San Juan and colder in towns near the center of the Island, however, no beaches there, but nice rivers with clear cold waters. Quite windy in San Juan or everywhere there is a beach. Their beaches are a little dirty in December because it cleans itself from the ocean garbage in the winter. If you go a "balnneario". It might have been cleaned before they open it to the public.
Beautiful. Next time go to Cafe Cuatro Sombras and La Factoria
mc kaila...did you ever hear about a t.v.seriours call the flying nun...well if you did...some scenes were film in old san juan back in 1969.or.70..and theres a building there sally fields is walking in front of it..and..i thing also john travolta did a scene in that same spot for the movie he did with anthonio banderas...
Thats awesome! I will have to check it out!

I lived in PR so I had it all the time!

Very sweet words!
Nice ..
You can't visit PR and not eat their food!!! Pizza??? Lol
Try the Carrucho Salad !!!!
Where at?
Not to be a smartass ,, but couldn't you learn a little Spanish while you are there ? Calle is not pronounced like Cali, Colombia ,, it's like kayea ... by-the-way ,, your Videos are lovely.
So is Brooke Hogan just her stage name? :-)
Wait.....you “didn’t want Puerto Rican food”...? I’m out.
🤚🏽💔So WHY did you even go there?? WHY the heck are you doing a "FOOD tour" in San Juan, PUERTO RICO if you don't want to sample local PUERTO RICAN food?!? ALL the choices you highlight we can already get back in the States! 👎🏽
Wish you would have shown more restaurants and not just walk around talking .
“were in puerto rico but don’t want puerto rican food” *gets a pizza* lmfaoooooooo white people
I lived in PR so I had it all the time!
Hey girl! Next time just say that you want something else than saying “I don’t want Puerto Rican food.” As a Puerto Rican this kinda of put me off. Also if you are doing a video on favorite restaurants or are trying to show people restaurants to visit during their stay, actually list them and try them, also try to add Puerto Rican cuisine. As a lot of people actually go for the cuisine, not for your taste in food.This was kinda clickbaity, and I didn’t learn much about places to eat in San Juan, that I haven’t visited before. This was more of a vlog. ✌🏻
Thanks for commenting Tiffany! I LOVE Puerto Rican food and was living in Puerto Rico and that day I wasn't wanting traditional PR food. In the comments you should see a list of restaurants as well. :)
