A Guide to Puerto Rican Cuisine and Cooking Terms
When dining in Puerto Rico, you're likely to come across dishes you’ve never heard of, and that’s because Puerto Rican cuisine is a unique blend of Spanish, African, Taíno, and Amerian flavors. Here's a handy guide to some of the local specialties you'll find when you and your appetite go exploring.
Puerto Rico's Panaderías
Puerto Rico's panaderías, or bakeries, are far more than a place to get cakes and pastries in Puerto Rico. A panadería can be anything from a hole in the wall that sells bread and basic groceries to a full-blown restaurant and mini-mart. It’s a good way to experience a slice of daily life (and local bread), no matter what part of the island you’re visiting.
