    Honestly, it's just so DOPE to see Rican food be highlighted in this way. Puerto Rican food is without a doubt one the most underrated cuisines out there. It could go toe to toe with any cuisine out there and most definitely hold its own. Listen, if you're talking about amazing food from all over, Puerto Rico better damn well be in the conversation. We're talking about a cuisine that stretches across the entire culinary spectrum. It can go from the best comfort food you've ever had all the way to michelin star level. Listen, make it a point to experience this food, at least once in your life. Although, if you do have it once, that won't be the last time you have it. I promise you that.
    I love Puerto Rico, because it gave me the love of my life. It will forever hold a special place in my heart.

    When I see people calling it Pastelillos instead of empanadas it puts a big smile on my face. I grew up saying Pastelillos and not Empanadas. For me Empanadas are baked and not fried but that is my opnion. Malta goya for the win everything looked so good. Love being Puerto Rican. But I dont eat fried food everyday.

    As a native Puerto Rican I can tell all the food, besides the BBQ sauce on the pork sandwich, is authentic and true to the island's cuisine. Alcapurrias are bomb and they hit different when they're stuffed with crab meat🤤

    I drove an hour and a half to get here. Wow this food was amazing. The pork is so tender and juicy and that extra skin was so good! The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I also had rice and beans which was well seasoned. I also enjoyed my first beef patty which was good. I’m impressed and the workers were friendly and the food was fresh! The price was affordable. I’ll definitely be back!!!

    JL Porky's Point is the spot in Philly. I lived up the end of 5th street by the Reservoir. I use to go there at least once a week. And when I worked at the Mini storage at Wayne Junction we would call in orders for lunch. They usually don't take orders over the phone but a buddy who worked with me his cousin was working there at the time. We could only do it on slow day because we were done afterwards. We all needed a nap after eating all that food as you know lol. It was cool seeing you showing Mark around Philly. Philly is a great food city I miss it for that. I'm in Florida now and there's just certain foods from up north you can't find down here. Or their version of the foods don't even come close to what you get in Philly or up north.

    Found you from Mark Wein’s channel. I love finding places like this to eat. Cute restaurants downtown are nice but the best food I’ve had is usually in those off the beaten path places. So good!

    hey JL I hope everyones doing great. ever since I saw u on marks channel I've been invested in getting to know more about your character cuz everywhere you go you seem to bring people together. then I finally googled your name and read an article when u were interviewed one time. and that last paragraph really struck a chord in me when you spoke about using music to bridge different cultures and it feels like the mission I've started out recently. I love music it's a part of my identity. but more importantly im mixed: thai-chinese, and after reading what you said has given me even more motivation to create a platform for myself to be able to connect people from vastly different points on earth together. I see that platform growing infront of me and thats JL Jupiter youtube channel. keep killing it man I can't wait to see what you'll accomplish. "I want to be part of the movement. I AM part of the movement."

    JL! Haha you like raw onions too! Gotta give respect to that! The fact that you never tried most of these PR dishes makes me feel like I'm there with you exploring. Honestly never tried food from PR but it all looks really tasty and has that 'comfort food' look. Going to have to put Puerto Rican food on my list now!

    I'm not PR. I'm black but my dad grew up in Spanish Harlem. We used to go to Randalls island every Sunday in the summertime because his team had softball games. They used to roast a whole pig starting in the morning but my favorite thing to eat by far was the lady's coming around with their carts with homemade fried deliciousness and acapuria was by far my favorite. I probably spelled that shit wrong but I could eat that all day.

I have never eaten at the same place twice (except fir the turtle soup at Reading Terminal Market!! Loved the video you did with Mark Wiens there. My advice: come during the flower show. Stay at the Marriott across the street from RTM. Walk EVERYWHERE!) Thank you for showcasing new places for me to visit! I promise to give you a “shout out” as I explore more of Philadelphia.

    I have been blessed bye watching my mom cook all that food that you just promoted.It is so delicious and tasty. You have to try the pig feet dish with white rice is out of this world.
    Also arroz con bacalao y Aguacates al.lao. Like the El Gran Combo song.Theres so many Puerto Rican food.dishes out there that you won't get bored to eat every day. The only thing is every dish has to be acompany with rice white or yellow 😂😂😂 . Enjoy our food mi Genteeeee Wepaaaaa.

    That was my spot. There Pig blood sausage is the best. Everything they make is great. The chunk of pork fried meat is great. The pig ears to die for with some hit sauce. No negative comments on this joint. I don’t miss Philly but i sure miss their food.
