You know it wasn't made by an actual boricua when they say it doesn't have enough salt or condiments in anyway. Specially in the rice!

[andrearodriguez]

I'm Puerto Rican and I found it so funny when they were like "I'm not tasting any spiciness" Puerto Ricans don't eat spicy foods AT ALL the spices give it flavor but it's not spicy😂😂😂 Mexicans eat spicy stuff... and if there was too much coconut in the coquito then someone doesn't know how to make coquito... coquito is supposed to be creamy... that drink looked like 50% of it was rum.

This is a disgrace to people that are from Puerto Rico. Not enough salt? A real Person Puerto Rico did not make this

[lexilou]

where's the jibaritos? alcapurrias??? pastelles? pastelios?? I'm hungry now. Puerto Rican food is the best.😄

[reneemaxwell]

"since it's a US territory I think it might be very American" I've never heard a stupider thing in my entire life

[chikenarch]

I love my Puerto Rican food!

Btw. Puerto Rican food isn't know for being spicy. It is really flavorful and sometimes too salty for the American taste buds, but it isn't spicy like Mexican food.

...Girl.

I'm Cuban and we eat everything these people just ate! Cuba and Puerto Rico are brothers bro❤️

[thelovessam]

I hate how they keep thinking its going to be spicy. ITS PUERTO RICAN NOT MEXICAN!!!

[lolitsyani]

Thanks Buzzfeed for making this Puerto Rican girl hungry

[alexandraalbarran]

soooo where are the pasteles tho?? 😂🇵🇷 no hay navidad completa sin pasteles

[uramescudi]

What type of arroz con gandules was that?? Looks terrible!! You wouldn't see it like that in Puerto Rico

[danineurohr]

" I like to scream Puerto ricoo" 😂😂😂

[Skswords]

Why does everyone think Latinos eat spicy food? xDD That's only Mexico and Central America lmao

[Esmebaez]

A boriqua definitely didnt make the food because they kept saying it lacked salt. If a boriqua had made that their tastebuds would have been blessed lmaooo. They missed so many good foods by sticking to the basic ones. Where are the sorrullios? where are the pasteles? where is the pernil? where is the serenata de bacalao? where is the fricase? Sancocho? Que paso aqui?

[thenerdshopper]

Why would anyone anticipate spiciness from Puerto Rican food? I'm confused. Since when is Puerto Rican cuisine known for being spicy...

[williamrodriguez]

I'm Puerto Rican and I am some what offended that every American thinks Hispanic countries are all spicy. Puerto Rico is not Mexico.

[elpapijuicygaming]

We Puerto Ricans don't go crazy with spices...
But that ADOBO tho ;)

[runmeoverwithatruck]

Just to clarify, we are not like Mexicans. We enjoy some spicy foods but our foods don't consist of that type of pallet. No offense to Mexicans, I love them💍💕 All Hispanic cultures are different and special in their own way. and you better be proud to embrace it🔥 In my opinion, I don't think a boricua cooked those meals. To me, growing up, the rice was never tht "yellow" and the mofongo was mixed with shrimp, pork, chicken etc. And the coquito looked really liquidy. Its usually thicker. And one more thing... Yes, we are American territory, BUT WE DONT HAVE AMERICAN FLAVORS! Un poco de savon, adobo, la cosa verde que abuela tiene en la neveda, AND MUCHO more! Growing up with the music, and the dancing, and the rhythm, and adding those flavors it's like the cherry on top! It's made to make people happy!😊 YO SOY BORICUA! PA QUE TU LO SEPA!
