Puerto Rican food is the center of the table at A Taste of Puerto Rico.

Local cooks serve the plates people ask for first: pork over the coals, plantain masa wrapped and steamed, rice with gandules, hot salted plantains, coconut pudding, and pure Puerto Rican coffee.

Walk in free. Buy what you want from the vendors.
