By , About.com Guide

Definition:

Frituras, or "fritters," are fried snacks that are ubiquitous not only in Puerto Rico but throughout Latin America. They can be made with a variety of meat, vegetable, and seafood fillings, and you will find stalls everywhere you go selling different types of fritura. Luquillo is known island-wide for its string of roadside kiosks that sell these artery-clogging treats.
