Fried Puerto Rican Food

By kendrick / April, 3, 2010 / 6 comments

As we roamed around outside of town near the beach (it’s an island, so there are a lot of beaches), we stopped at a roadside restaurant for some dinner. They fry almost everything. Pictured below is some of the food we ate. I can’t remember what it’s officially called.

This is fried plantain with crapmeat inside.

They said this was chicken on a stick, but I’m not sure… it might have been iguana.

    I’ve never had crapmeat before. Looks yummy. ;)

    I’m sure it doesn’t compare to the real deal, but one of my favorite restaurants is La Isla which serves Puerto Rican cuisine.

    Thanks! a lot of people seem to gravitate to that one, but I feel like I didn’t do justice to the scene…

    First pciture: EMPANADILLA. They’re are NOT made with fried plantains. What the hell is inside it? I have no clue. Looks like cassava to me.

    Second picture. It’s a PINCHO. And yes; it looks like chicken. We do NOT eat iguanas.

    I was just being silly with the iguana remarks… sorry if I offended you!
