Comida de Puerto Rico





I ate my way through Puerto Rico. Que delicioso! Highlights:

Ceviche House: Puerto Rican/Peruvian restaurant. We had delicious warm crispy empanadas, octopus ceviche and skirt steak. Our favorite of the house was the mussel appetizer. Green mussels topped with cool chopped onions, tomatoes, herbs, sea salt. So simple and so good.

Horned Dorset Hotel for lunch located in the city of Rincon: We tried a Puerto Rican staple called Mofongo which is mashed plantains under a stew of some sort.

Deli de Espana: A local Spanish deli/bar/bakery with delicous meat pies, sandwiches and pastries.
