I'm so happy to be seeing more and more Puerto Rican content on Pero Like. I know you guys are west coast based so there's not a huge Puerto Rican community as compared to other Latinx groups. I love how Pero Like does its best to help all of us feel seen. Keep up the great work!

Growing up in Spanish Harlem, these were a norm for me. I’m Black American, but I have cousins whose other side is Puerto Rican and we were all intertwined. During holidays and cookouts there was always a mix of Black American and Puerto Rican cuisines on my mom’s side. (Dad’s side is Panamanian/Jamaican) Also, the culture and food surrounded me. We grew up on pasteles, accapurrias, bacalalitos, pastelitos, etc. These are sold all through East/Spanish Harlem. Especially during the Puerto Rican Day Festival. Now that I have my own family. I add dishes to our holiday table that represent each culture in the household. Much ❤

I was expecting to hear the “oh yes” at the end of the video but I forgot this isn’t the TASTY channel.

I’m Mexican and my bf Puerto Rican I tried them SOOO GOOOD! 💕

The corned beef filled version is an out-of-this-world experience. Also, we use green bananas only for the masa, seasoned with salt and natural annato-colored oil. The 4 side grate plane used in PR is the diamond mash plane. The receipe doesn't include potatoes nor diced peppers.
This looks like a tasty variation though.
