I’m from Puerto Rico, and it’s so cool to see people from other countries enjoying our food. Also, pronouncing alcapurria can be pretty difficult. 😅 The “rr” has a sound that’s not in the English pronunciation. It’s almost like the sound of a firing machine gun or a growl.
I used to eat at La Isla Cuchifritos yrs ago. It was excellent then one day I notice the food was off. The next time I ordered from them, talking to them, they said they were different owners. I don't even think they were Puerto Rican. The food was off again and haven't went back. This was about 9/10yrs ago. Did they sell it back? New owners? It was so good then it was not.
The lechonero guy was a bit unhinged, loco, imo. The kola can is not from PR. That Malta India you drank is from PR. At the cafeteria with alcapurrias the guy on the left is not PR. Pastelillo pronounced with a "yo" at the end not a pastelito sound at the end. Good vid in general.
@@joeycarr1398 He's harmless (I think :) ), he definitely knew how to use that thing. I noticed he kept his hands far away from the blade when chopping so not his first rodeo.
Someone help him get his RUclips channel going so he can live to see his dream which is his own restaurant. He feeds so many ppl hungry for free, that away to pay this man back. Countless homeless ppl and anyone hungry. The least we can do fir him 💯
At the bottom of every episode in the notes there are the addresses and names of the restaurants! This spot is Lechonera La Piraña in the Bronx! Have you had any good Lechon before? The owner was awesome and the food was delicious.
Haha, beyond Pastelillos and Alcapurrias there were many more Puerto Rican dishes, it passed the test for me but what do I know!? I think only a Puerto Rican could tell you for certain if it's the real deal! What's something I should try next time I'm at a Cuchifrito?

I went to Lechonera La Isla last week and the lechon was very good. Very close to Lechonera La Piraña.
SALUDOS DESDE EL PUEBLO [LAS PIEDRAS], [PUERTO RICO] 🇵🇷 🏄♂🐢
You got there too late.. Gotta see him when he opens up on the weekends ONLY.

He was a good man! Maybe serious, maybe not :) Thanks for the language tips and the insight my guy. Any P.R. Dishes I should look for next?
@@unculturedtravel he got me worry somewhat with the machete.
@@joeycarr1398 He's harmless (I think :) ), he definitely knew how to use that thing. I noticed he kept his hands far away from the blade when chopping so not his first rodeo.
He’s harmless, it’s just an act.
@@realdeal139 And a great act at that! It makes it a fun place to visit. How many times have you been?
This guy is GOLD! I recently made a food review video on his spot, check it out. 🐖
A great cook! Did you try the mofongo or octopus salad?
WTF? Dirty kitchen too!
Great food! End of day after I think a crazy service!
Love this video about the south bronx and the Puerto Rican food. The Morcilla down 😆 🤣

Is this really a Mexican place masquerading as a Cuchifrito? 🤥

@@unculturedtravel Regeno de papas and Pernil.
@@uiu510 Woa, just googled "Relleno de Papas" they look great, what do you typically drink when eating these dishes?
@@unculturedtravel There are many natural shakes made out of fruits like papaya, guava, banana ect ect.
@@unculturedtravel I also recommend "Mondongo Soup."
