Again, I have told many folks who are planning to visit Puerto Rico to check this episode. Andrew’s program is one of the best on the food network. Great episode Andrew. Puerto Rico has much more to offer. Many visitors concentrate their stay only within the touristy area of Old San Suan, Isla Verde, etc… If you really want to experience the true taste of PR, rent a jeep and hit the road. Puertorricans are more than happy to share their own favotire places to eat finger and traditional food. You can always go to McDonnalds in CONUS. Just a thought. Have a great day…. and dare to eat something different. Now that I think about it, I would not eat crikets like Andrew but perhaps I will try sometime “gallina de palo” . Some people say it tastes like chicken. Again, have fun……

I do agree with the fact that there are folks in PR that lived there all of their lifes and have never been to Plaza Las Americas shopping mall. My own father and mother who lives in the metro area dont know about many of this Kinds of “holes in the wall”. The place that they went to is a common place attended by folks who have Jeeps i.e. 4X4 kind of vehicles. Other than that, Puerto Rico has many little places that are very good eateries and are not very well know by the almost 4 million plus habitants….. Puerto Rico is very unique and what makes it unique is the people, culture and their love for good food.

That’s cool. It definitely looked like a great drive in the right type of car that is.

My Family owns the place they went to in San Lorenzo… Its called “El Cerro de Nandy” and its located in Jagual Puerto Rico which is a a little section of San Lorenzo… However it is off the beaten path and in order to get up their you must use a 4×4 vehicle or polaris, horse, helicopter ect… regular vehicles will not make it up the mountain…

Hi, were you able to find out where the place was, that Andrew visited in the mountians? I thought that was beautiful.

Anyone know where they were when they were on a mountain or cliff? It was very green and he had a heaping plate that had I think a lot of gandules. The woman he was with said, even native Ricans don’t know about that place.

Listen, this episose was very well documented. It surely made me proud. Great job! I missed the food, people, family since I currently reside in Virginia. I watched the show yesterday (01/13) and I today purchased plane tickets for the whole family. Defenitely heading to Guavate to eat some lechon. Mofongo is on the list. Well for now i just have to work on lossing a few pounds because as soon as I step foot in the Island nothing is going to stop us.

I loved it. My wife and me will be moving to Puerto rico. We went to Guavate but not the other spots on the show. But believe us we will go to the others to. Keep up the outstanding show.
