Appetizers

The intention of this site is to help proliferate the flavors of
Puerto Rico.

Puerto Ricans make some of the best appetizers in the world!

Where else can you indulge in some of the most tantalizing cuchifritos as you leave one of the world's most popular beaches (Luquillo beach) after a day of fun and sun?

That's right! Leave your diet at home when you stop at this strip just outside the beach, because you'll want to try everything you see!

And hey, didn't you just burn a couple of thousand calories frolicking in the surf?

Well, here are some treats you might find at some of the concession stands in Luquillo.

So if you miss some of these since your last trip, and you're willing to give it a try at home, here are some recipes for you...
