Grilling and Outdoor Feasts

Puerto Rico’s warm weather makes it the perfect place for outdoor feasts, especially when grilling is involved. From street food-style snacks to full-on cookout meals, these dishes are meant for sharing in good company. Pinchos de Cerdo, skewered and grilled pork, are an iconic Puerto Rican street food that’s perfect for any outdoor gathering. Chuletas Fritas, crispy fried pork chops, are another classic that pairs wonderfully with any side or just on their own. Tostones, crispy twice-fried green plantains, are the ideal accompaniment to any grilled meat, while Amarillos, sweet fried plantains, provide the perfect balance of sweetness. Lastly, Grilled Sweet Potatoes add a unique twist to any cookout, offering a healthy and delicious side that’s easy to prepare.

Puerto Rican BBQ & Grilled Meats

Cooking over an open flame is a beloved tradition in Puerto Rico, with smoky, well-seasoned meats stealing the show. Pinchos de cerdo and chuletas fritas are must-haves for outdoor gatherings and weekend barbecues.

Classic Sides

No Puerto Rican meal is complete without classic sides. Tostones bring a crispy bite, while amarillos add caramelized sweetness to any plate.

Sauces & Marinades

Puerto Rican food is all about bold flavors, and the right sauce makes all the difference. Mojo marinade, aji-li-mojili, and mojito sauce bring zesty, garlicky, and herby flavors to grilled meats, seafood, and fried foods.

Summer Party Foods

Summertime in Puerto Rico calls for tropical flavors and refreshing bites. A pina colada is the perfect way to cool down, while grilled sweet potatoes bring a smoky-sweet balance to any barbecue spread.
