I would love to try one of these food tours – especially the Gourmet Gastro Tour!
Mofongo is the unofficial king of Puerto Rican cuisine. This is a tasty and filling concoction of mashed plantain. Asopao is also one of the most traditional dishes in Puerto Rico. Fooding with travels adds a great enjoyment in our tour. Last time i enjoyed this with my whole family.
