As a Puerto Rican that lives in the island, I always feel so much pride when I see other Latinos appreciating my island's culture. (P. S. them Florecitas can be addicting no lie)

[OG_VERBZ]

I'm Puerto Rican but I got respect for the Mexican culture and the people

So glad you guys did Puertorican snacks!!! As i puertorican, I found it interesting that they didnt know the difference between platanos (Plantains) and guineos (how we say banana), i didn't know other latinamerican countries said platano for both plantain and bananas lol

This warms my heart as a Puerto Rican I love all of my Latin Brothers and Sisters from around the world, they all bring something special and beautiful to the table.

I'm from PR!!🇵🇷 The garlic Platanutres, Florecitas & Malta are my favs!!😋 Malta is a very popular non alcoholic beverage here! We drink it with almost every food. There is a plain Platanutres version too, no garlic! You should try more puerto rican snacks!!

[huertoycocinadecatalina]

Yes, make them try Puerto Rican, Cuban and Taiwanese food.

Malta really is it’s own thing, so you can’t really compare it to other sodas, and it has a very distinct taste to anything else out there, so it is for a specific palate. I love my big Malta (they come in both this bottle and the big, more beer-looking bottle) with an empanadilla de pizza (which is like a pizza turnover) in the morning!

Growing up Boricua I honestly thought everyone ate these snacks this is the first time I’m learning that only Puerto Rican’s make these.
I brought those sesame snacks the last time I was in PR and my kids’ reaction was not nearly as nice as Las Mamas’ reactions.
I vote to send them all las Mamas vacation to San Juan. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Mexican Puerto Rican here! 🇲🇽 🇵🇷

Living the best of both cultures!

[Marycone]

Malta is a very acquired taste, there’s not much you can compare it to 😂

[miguelrivera]

I'm a Puerto Rican that loves Mexican food and the snacks God bless these Mexican women and the people of Mexico 🇵🇷❤🇲🇽

[ismariecoalg]

Yessss🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷Finalmente, justamente estaba pensando en esto los otros días y me alegra que les haya gustado. Btw, la Malta India sabe súper cuando está bieeen fría.

[geralizalgarintorres]

As a puertorican, I liked how unique they're opinions are, and how they tried to compare the flavors of my dear island's snacks. I hope the experience was a cool and very unique for them.

They sell Puerto Rican snacks all over Florida, NY, NJ and many other states. Malta India is made in my home town in PR and they do have a little sweetness to it. It has caramel and corn syrup. Kinda like molasses soda. I thought all Latin countries knew what Malta was.

I’m so happy that our Mexican brothers are trying out our candies and snacks from my home island Puerto Rico. I appreciate it thank you. 🙏 🎉 🇵🇷

“Have you had snacks from Puerto Rico?”
“No where do they sell them?” -Lucy
“Probably Puerto Rico”. 😂😂😂

[Neighbor_]

Im so glad to see they liked our snacks! One day I'm gonna go to Mexico and see what they have to offer! As a Puerto Rican, I can confirm Puerto Rico foods do come from from all around the world and we also of course have our own snacks here! I hope when people from other countries come here they'll like what we have. And I can also confirm, Puerto Rico is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been!there's beaches, Resorts, hotels, apartments, private schools, collages and much more to offer!I hope one day we can visit other countries as well!

Enjoy what we have to offer here in Puerto Rico if you do come!^^🇵🇷❤

[melaniefonseca]

yesss i love this because im half puerto rican and half mexican next they should try puerto rican foods like pasteles, arroz con gandules

[sisita]

I'm puerto rican, and I love our food. But when it comes down to Mexican food. I THEIR FOOD.

[NickPR]

Even I who grew up eating all of these can see how they might be a bit too strong in taste 😂 Especially dulce de ajonjolí and Malta. I personally go with the "light" version of Malta cause it's less sweet and thick.

Next time give them besitos de coco, the piña colada version of pilón and guava paste with cheese, those are bomb! There's also the puff pastries like quesitos and pastelillos de guayaba.
