Puerto Rican food and Caribbean island Latin food in general, is amazing ❤ 🇵🇷 🇨🇺 🇩🇴
The beans are called pigeon peas ,in Spanish Gandules. I love to see people trying our food 🇵🇷 . ❤

Stop worrying about offending people!
No matter how hard you try, you WILL offend someone...soooo..fuck it, Just be you yourself! ❤
That is all we can be is be ourselves. Thank you so much Thamoris.
@@pennystwocents You've offended me like 10x...but I'm still here! ...lol j/k
I agree 100 percent!
Is the life expensive in Ohio. Maybe that is the reason
@@alicecasiano185 No our prices are a lot better than most.
I'm from PR🇵🇷 Our food is heaven🙌🏽🥵🤤 you have to try mofongo!! Puertorican food is much more than that!!
@@lizroxyPR OK we will have to try more dishes. Mofongo is on the list. Thank you Lizroxy.
Greetings and blessings. I am Puerto Rican living in the USA. Puerto Rican food is not spicy, those who like it spicy can add it. Thank you for sharing our culinary culture. 😊
I just loved watching your dad go all in on the different foods, and he seemed to really be enjoying it. In fact it was great fun seeing you both liking what you were eating. I also love Puerto Rican food. Great review!
@@voceval1 Dad loves to eat and try new things. Thank you so much Voceval.
Girl, dont worry about other people!! Love you and your dad doing these videos!! Always wanted to try PR food!!!! Have a great day George and Penny!!!!! Peace out!!!
@@kimbeard756 Awww Thank you so much Kim.

@@VictorMRodriguez-ws3qd awww Thank you Victor.
Puertorican food is flavorful not usually spicy.
I love to see the love you show for your dad May the good lord bless you both.
Thank you so much Jose.
I love puerto rican food.. rice with gandules pernil is the pork and the potato salad is usually eaten around holidays. My husband is puertorican. the food is delicious and spanish people put 😊olives in mostly everything. we love our olives lol.. great review. Pinchos look good!
That lunch was yummy. I really liked that rice and those empanadas were yummy.
I watched this based on the title 😉 I subscribed & loved this based on you & your dad ❤ …. Give your honest opinion & don’t worry about what others think! Bless you & may your subs grow above & beyond what you could ever think or imagine 🙏🏽❤️
@@MusicLover-oo8tv Awww Thank you so much MusicLover and welcome.
Your dad is adorable!
@@ljw1961us Aww Thank you.
THE RICE IS CALLED ARROZ CON GANDULES, ITS YELLOW RICE WITH CHICK PEAS. AND WE DO LIKE IT WITH GREEN OLIVES. THE SAUSE IS CALLED MAYO KETCHUP, IT MAYO AND KETCHUP TOGETHER WE PUT THIS ON THE EMPANADAS
Thank you so much. We loved trying that lunch.
Sweetheart, u not being mean, not everyone is good at doing potato salad, love the honest review😊
Not chick peas, it's pigeon peas,
Puertorican here I would recommend for appetizers alcapurrias they are green banana fritters with meat in them sometimes beef sometimes pork filled. Relleno de papa is also very good it is a potato and beef fritter. Bacalaitos if they have them as well are amazing they are cod batter fritters. As for mains mofongo is always good it consists of mashed plaints, garlic and chicharron it tends to be dense a lot of the times most of the time they offer it with some sort of stock or sauce and that helps cut through the density. Pasteles are also a big puertorican staple especially around the holidays the batter consists of cassava, green bananas and or green plantains with a pork filling with peppers and green olives it is a softer texture and very much loved. For dessert we are very known for our flans, our tres leches, tembleque and several others. Hope this helps in some way!
@@bubbleliciousgum21 Wow thank you so much. We need to try those awesome dishes. Thanks again.
Hi Penny and George glad you and your Dad enjoyed the food today it looked delicious great review thanks guys
We had fun trying for sure. Thank you Dale.
I remember pinchos (shish kabob) used to be sold at one dollar back when I was a kid in Puerto Rico. Good ol' memories. We would eat them at the beach and were part of a traditional Puerto Rican bbq.
The ketchup and mayo sauce, also has garlic and vinegar if made the traditional way, and we call it mayoketchup.
Hi Penny 😊 Fun video to watch😊Love watching you try different ethnic food❤Have a good day !!!
Hi Debra. We had fun trying. Those empanadas were yummy.
Hi Penny and George! Those dishes looked really good. Good review! I've always wanted to try the alcapurrias, but not sure if the food trucks serve them. Looking forward to tomorrows video. Hope you've had a good night ☺❤🙏
Alcapurrias. I want to try them not. Lol.
Hi.... thank you for the review. I'm Puerto Rican. The empanadas are the best fresh out of the fryer. Pincho can be tough depending who makes them. The rice and pigeon peas and pork is our traditional signature dish. Our food is not as spicy a Mexican. Loved your dad. God bless you both. Thanks for being open minded.
Thank you so much Jsanz. God bless
Great review! I have never had Puerto Rican food before; I will tell you on camera it all looked absolutely delicious.
It was pretty darn yummy. Give it a try Trent. Do you have a Puerto Rican restaurants out there?
@@pennystwocents There are two food carts close to me. Portland is the food cart capital of the world.
I’m puertorican and I’ve lived in the states and the island and I can assure you a lot of the times I don’t like puertorican food from the states doesn’t taste the same why I either cook or wait to go back to the island. And God bless your father he’s adorable. 🙏🏽❤️
@@alexasantos7643 Awww Thank you so much Alexa.
I've never had that type of food. It was interesting to hear about it. Thanks for introducing us to new flavors. 💜❤️🩵👏👋
You are welcome Lisa. Those empanadas were yummy.
When I worked in New York City, I would go to a Puerto Rican luncheonette that had very similar food. My favorite was the rice like you have with a Chicken Fricassee Stew that was so delicious. I would get it multiple times a week. Thanks for reviewing this delicious looking food form Puerto Rican's Dream Food Truck. Excellent video.
We need to try some more Puerto Rican dishes.
Dad's going to town, lol! He said, "I like it plain"
I love Puerto Rican food and I have also been wanting to try this truck out! ❤
Our favorite was the Beef Empanada.
@@pennystwocents empanadilla.
Girl, go get you another PR food truck. Too pricey and food is lacking.
I just had empanadas yesterday! They r delicious! Good video

Everything looks delicious and they were generous with the quantity from what I can see. Have a great Sunday Penny George and all Pennypinchers PEACE!!
Yes that lunch was so fun to try. Hope you are having a great evening Spaceman.
Your dad is so lucky to have you! I wish my dad and I did this! Who cares if you offend anyone, They can click on another link.
It all looked good. I don’t think I’ve ever had Puerto Rican food but I think I’d like it.
Those empanadas were yummy.
@@pennystwocents I’ve had lots of Filipino empanadas. They are usually smaller and about $3.00
Great video. Thank you. I have wondered what it would taste like 👏❤️😋
Those empanadas were yummy.
In PR they like balance spices such as garlic, different types of peppers, onions, chorizo, ham, oregano, olives, azafrán, tomatoes, salt, olive virgen olive oil and pork skin. It's combined for seasoning or marinate according to the recipe. Some recipes require a fruit sauce such as tamarind sauce, pineapple sauce, guava sauce, etc...
We don't enjoy much hot spicy food. If we have hot spicy food is with a hot spicy sauce on the side.
Pork is the favorite red protein but seafood is the number one primary protein.
Try bacalaito, seafood empanadas, fry fish in"escabeche", any kind of mofongo, and plenty of different recipes made with local roots.
Better off... Just go to PR and enjoy everything directly from the island and under the sun by the beach.
Maybe one day I can go to Puerto Rico and enjoy the dishes there. Thank you so much.
I am Puerto Rican from San Juan, PR with roots from all around the island and I have to say some Puerto Ricans do not like the traditional food. So; no apologies needed!! Most of us do love many of our traditional food and I am very honored you got to try "at least one way" of the many delicious ways that all the things you tried are made daily at Puerto Rico. 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you and as we say in Spanish:
¡Buen provecho! (It's a bless: 'May your body enjoys the food!' 😉😌🙏🏼) 💞💞💞
@@minervavargas-miletti235 Thank you so much. We need to try more dishes.
I appreciate your honesty in trying our food. Yes I can see how our potato salad may seem bland because we only use mayonnaise has the base with some shredded onion unlike US potato salad that has mustard too. I personally like both styles of potato salad but I’m more used to it with mayonnaise on its own. The white sauce I think it’s aioli and the pink one is mayo ketchup usually it’s made with a hint of garlic and served with tostones (plantain fritters) and/or sorullitos (cornmeal fritters). I agree with your dad on the empanadillas tasting better on their own. I enjoyed watching him chow down on our food without hesitation jaja thank you for keeping it real.
Awww Thank you so much Evelyn.
I thank you both for sharing this amazing genuine RUclips video. I would like to see your expressions if you try one of our deserts called "FLAN" I fwd this video to friends and family.
GOD BLESS
🇵🇷😁👍🇺🇲
🙏🏼❤🙏🏼
My favorite time of day!!!!!of all these….id get the empanadas…i love empanadas…there my fav to eat!!!!and they looked delicious❤
Another awesome review❤❤
I love empanadas too. Thank you Heath.
Hey beautiful Penny's and dad ❤❤Great food review video ❤❤😊😊
It depends where you buy it, the food will always taste different, thank you for being you and letting others know what you think of our food. Nothing like homemade Puerto Rican food. The rice maybe made with pigeon peas (Gandules). Try arroz con pollo, white rice and stew beans Combination. God bless
@@Mercy-Rodríguez74 We will have to try more dishes. Thank you TowerofLove. God bless.
@@pennystwocents Thank you for the feedback. Hugs for you both from the Island of Puerto Rico.
Dad is hilarious. lol
He's a funny guy sometimes. He makes me laugh. Love him so much.
Food looked real good today and george i always say i need to get the file out my dentures are dull lol have a great day
Lol. We hope you have an awesome tomorrow.
Hi Penny & Dad- YUM! Everything looked tasty. Once in a blue moon I’ll make homemade empanadas. I make mine with ground beef, golden raisins, onions, and spices in a red tomato sauce. Sooo good, but A Lot of work. I definitely am VERY particular about potato salad. I’m a potato salad snob & usually will only eat mine. Garlic bread looked very good. Great review. Sending love to you both. ❤️🤍💙
Hi Kathy. I love empanadas. Your homemade ones sound amazing. Sending you love. 💓
Youll be surprised, it is the same cut of pork on both dishes , its shoulder , what changes is the cooking method, one is grilled on the pinchos , and the other is roasted slow and low thats why is so tender,
Hi Penny! Puerto Rican food is usually not spicy, just very savory and a lot if flavor. Glad you both enjoyed it, me and my daughter like watching your videos.
@@destinyashh I need to try more dishes. Tell your daughter we said hi.
Glad thar you tried Puerto Rican food 🇵🇷 . Puerto Rican food is not spicy, but but well seasoned. Potato salad is not traditional, it was incorporated into Puerto Rican cuisine because of the American influence to Puerto Rico. Not everybody knows how to make Potato salad, I believe. I eat only my own. The rice con gandules (pigeon peas), and peril (roast pork) is traditional Puerto Rican food. You can get it at any Puertorriqueño (Puerto Rican restaurant, food truck, dinner, or home. The Pincho is usually grilled with barbecue sauce. Pork and seafood is very common in Puerto Rican food. The patelillos (enpanadas) are traditionally with beef or shrimp. However, you can make it out of anything you want. The beef is called picadillo. The sauce is called mayokeshup. It used as a sauce for everything in Puerto Rican and other Latino countries fried finger foods. It made to cut off the oiliness of fried foods. I prefer it without the sauce. There were other traditional foods you didn't try. Mofongo, pasteles, pastelon, alcapurrias, rellenos de papa, piononos, and bacalaitos are traditionally Puerto Rican food. Tostones or (find green plantains) or amarillos (find sweet plantains) are traditional and is eaten with most every protein, as a side dish. Stewed proteins with white rice is popular. Chicken or seafood soup is popular. Salads may be accompanied with some dishes. We make tacos and pasta currently in modern Puerto Rican cuisine. Our proteins are either fried, boiled, broiled, grilled, steamed, roasted, or stewed. We eat root vegetables as side dishes. We also eat a lot of rice🍚. Piña Cola was invented in Puerto Rico so it's a very traditional cocktail. Coquito (Our version of eggnog) is a Christmas drink made out of coconut 🥥, is very traditional. Our breads are good. Flan (custard) is a very popular desert ( and there are others)😋 ❤. Glad you have enjoyed our food. You need to try more of our delicious cuisine. Great video! 😊
Thank you so much. We will have to try more Puerto Rican dishes.
I'm Puerto Rican and in our family we eat hot peppers on the side that are pickled. So, if someone likes it hot they may add it during the meal.
@@valcal7096 Hi Valcal. Oh hot pickled peppers would be great with the food. Thank you so much.
$15.00 for a plate of rice and some pork is rather steep. Over here where I am we can get a hefty plate for around 9.00 . There's nothing like that's made and sold on the island of Puerto Rico. There's this area that's called the "pork highway" yup, that's what the locals refer to it as. The pork is so tender, juicy, and ridiculously delicious it's great. It's one of those places you have to visit if you want the true Puerto Rican experience instead of holding up in some resort.
@@LS-ti1rz Maybe one day I'll get to vacation in Puerto Rico. Thank you so much LS. Hope you have a great day.
What a sweet daughter
@@milagroscruz4073 Awww Thank you so much Mila.
Penny you got the Arroz con Gandules is yellow rice with pigeon peas not chick peas and pinchos they supposed to be grilled but this food trucks what they do is boiled the meat and then grilled it and that’s why the meat is kind of tuft but you should take a trip to the island remember Puerto Rico is part of the United States you don’t need a passport and I love you guys
Maybe one day I could make that trip. Hope you are having a great night.
Happy Sunday 😊
Good review. I love George. Keep going.
I love Spanish food 🥑 yummm
Try our Mofongo they have many varieties also the Alcapurrias and the pasteles not to mention the bacalaitos. From New Jersey .❤🇵🇷
@@olgarivera9150 Thank you so much Olga. We will have to try those items.
Next time Mofongo, tostones de pana, Tripleta, canoa rellena de carne molida, pasteles y alcapurria
Thank you Darouss. We will try those dishes sometime.
I love the green olives n rice!
I was really liking the olives in the rice.
Loved this one all we get hear is a pasty yuk dad looking handsome you and dad are stars xx❤️💕
Awww Thank you so much Louise.
I love to see people trying our food and get surprised by the flavors , because people usually think spanish food is all spicy , we do use a lot of spices but not hot spicy. Your dad likes to eat, and I love how adventurous, you guys are!!! Congrats on a great video!!!!
@@carnel73 Awww Thank you so much Carnel.
We use green olives in just about everything but sweet treats lol
first off i think it's great that you are sharing your culinary experiences with your father.
i think the price of the first plate was a bit too high.....but not a scam.
pernil is almost always good.
the yellow rice is just plain normal rice cooked with something that colours it.
most people use annato.
it's the seeds of a plant that when heated, release a red dye. people heat it with oil and then use that oil for colouring their food.
i make my yellow rice with paprika and turmeric. i'm not a fan of annato. the yellow rice also usually includes some spices and is more stewed than just boiled. and just like that restaurant i usually ad olives when i make it with pigeon peas....i just love olives.
pinchos are very common here. it's just that, meat on a stick broiled over a flame. there's one place within walking distance of my house....and if i'm willing to drive a few minutes there are several others.
i heard someone describe our food as "spicy but not hot". we use a lot of spices. but the level of heat is low. in many places they have hot sauce available, for those who like the heat.
ah that sauce is mayoketchup.
mayo and ketchup ar ethe main ingredients, in most places they also add a bit of black pepper, garlic and olive oil. and maybe a pinch of paprika.
it goes well with fried foods. some people even use it as salad dressing.
Next place you should try is planks on Parsons!
Thank you Nick. We will have to check them out.
Try puerto rican sodas.. like
kola champagne , o malta,
Coco Rico, etc , it will give a full effect.
@@Margie717 Thank you Margie. We will have to try the sodas too next time.
Wepa,wepa wepa where is the avocado yummy and the pasteles sauce is mayo and ketchup mixed Puerto Rico in the house
Oh I LIKE this video! I've never been to a food truck! All in all a fun video :)
I doctor up everybody's potato salad. I'm super finicky about it and it has to have dill and onion. No mustard or whatever is fine as long as those two things are in it so it wouldn't bother me that it was bland. I would love to try the rice and pulled pork!!! I would pass on that meat on a stick and steal all the garlic bread :)
I've only had a chicken and cheese empanada from Taco Bell but I loved it. Wish we knew what that white sauce was, I would like to try to make it.
The only thing I would worry about is eating spices your body isn't used to ;) just sayin ;) LOL
There wasn't really any crazy spices going on. Very fun to try. Those empanadas were yummy.
Pollo guisado
Carne guisado
Both with white rice and sweet plantains.
@@pennystwocents
I'm so sorry about your dad's eye condition! Just curious, is it possible for him to get Lasik surgery?
He has gotten a couple of surgeries and they didn't help.
The rice is yellow rice with pigeon peas.
Puertorican food is sweet and savory not spicy. Its carribean food very different from Mexican food. You have to go to the island to eat the real thing or a an authentic puertorican restaurant and it has to be in Florida or New York where theres a huge concentration of puertoricans and puertorican ingredients. In other states its not the same at all they don’t have the same ingredients to cook it with. The food is 10/10 its literally one of the most delicious savory foods out there. Piña colada was created in Puerto Rico so you can get an idea. Also the sauce its called ‘mayoketchup’ it has mayo, ketchup and garlic in it , it can also be made without the garlic. Loved your video and God bless your father hes so cute🩷
Awww Thank you so much Amelia.
Tip for anyone who's trying puertorican food since some of it it's fried it is best eaten right after cooked.
@@felipesantiago8041 Thank you Felipesantiago. 😊
Happy Sunday
❤❤❤enjoy God bless your dad
😉👍👍👍👍 Ty 🙏🙏🙏
Seeing the food the prices are acording to the cost of life in USA
Now im hungry 😂
Come to PR and try all delicious dishes we have here
Oh yes the Authentic Puerto Rican Cuisine would be the best.
Mami you need a Malta with that food, you ruined your experience with the roots beer…😂😂😂 still love this video, is the closest thing to breaking the spaghetti in front of an Italian or each sushi with fork… please repeat this video…
That's your daddy, you should share plates!!! You're getting closer to me neighbor, literally right down the street! Go try the birria tacos at Las Tapias Birria on Norton if you haven't, you won't be sorry my friend ;)
Thanks Kiki. We will have to check them out.
Yummy 😋
I had some Shrimp Mofongo at a restaurant in San Juan that was pretty good.
Oh we need to try that. Thank you OnAirVoice.
,@@pennystwocents, I wouldn't recommend mofongo for George. It's too dense. If you enjoyed the empanadas you should try the pastelon de carne. It's like the Puerto Rican lasagña but using ripe plantain instead of pasta.
@@lzdelgado9247 omg that sounds yummy.
If u was to go to a Puerto Rican restaurant u should try alcapuria and mofongo
I will have to try those next time. Thank you Octane.
Great review George and Penny thank you 👍👍♥️♥️👍👍 have a great week.
Hope you have a great week too Lane.
My buddies
Hi Vit. Hope you are having a great evening.
Hey penny I’m rican from Philadelphia now in Florida but man the ricans in Florida can’t get the potatoes 🥔 ball they put corn beef inside its ground meat man I’m been all over central Florida lol
@@jesusclass2484 Hi Jesus. 👋
Very difficult to get the real Puerto Rican flavor from any business outside the island. There are less than 500 hundred places in the US where you can eat real puertorican flavor typical food. And the variations of flavor on the island are just huge! But anyway we appreciate your interest in try it!
Like beef jerky ❤🥰
👍
I'm from PR . High prices
lol I hope you can get a better place of puertorican food that’s seems not good ,anyway ❤️from🇵🇷
Our food, Puerto Rican food, is one of the Latino nations that the food is very flavorable, but we don't use "hot" spices like Mexicans do. Real Chinese food tends to be very hot too.
Hi George
Puerto Rican food is not spicy, it is not Mexican food. Thanks for the video. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
@@Jenuelrg HI Jenuelrg.
Hi penny
Good afternoon Janice.
I could tell by looking at it that wasn’t the best. As a puerto Rican that food was pricey especially for the amount given. Come down to Florida visit world trucks in Kissimmee, Florida then you’ll really know what good puerto rican food tastes like. 🇵🇷
@@shakfig2655 Maybe one day I can try Puerto Rican food in Florida. Thank you Shakfig.
I agree on the price being too much. I mean the most a empanadilla is about $3. I have been to World Trucks and still not that pricey.
You try bbq food
Puertorrican food ITS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. Pleade learn about it. We have SEVERAL books about cocina Puertorriqueña (PR cocina). NOT all places cook well. It happens everywere you go. In the US too of course
We definitely will have to try more dishes for sure. Thank you Ricardo.
We dont eat Spicy food we add souse to it
Puerto rican food is not spicy. Great video
Thank you Joel.
Your father is right on the money, better without the sauce…
Monfugo
@@Itonlymoney I need to try monfugo. Thank you so much.
So I grew up in Puerto Rican restaurants, my father owned two. And I have cooked professionally, my whole adult life. and i honestly can say that food does not look very good. rice looked bland and pale. the pork looked dry. Not anything I would consider good PR food. And it's literally called Mayo-ketchup.
We need to try more Puerto Rican Dishes. Thank you Richard.
Sloppy Joe 😂 Definitely not😂
Puertorican food is not spicy but you have to come to PR to eat real puertorican food.
