We rarely get to see stories from the Puerto Rican mountains, this episode is a special treat. I want to eat at their cozy restaurant!
Bryan has the best job - he gets to travel, eat great food and meet wonderful people
I'm surprised PBS doesn't make this into a full series. Hopefully they will at some point.
Mi Bello Puerto Rico, te anoro!!!😢
guanimes con bacalaooooo
I love the food and warmth of the people in Puerto Rico, the Isle of Enchantment --La Isla Del Encanto.
This is an an excellent video, going off the common destinations for visitors to PR, but eminently doable if you're even slightly adventurous. Thanks, Bryan!
Thank you for visiting Puerto Rico and for posting this video. I appreciate it.
Oh my God. My mouth watered. Added to the list of places to visit when I go back home. CONGRATULATIONS from Cape Cod. I love that ATK has been including Puerto Rico in recent months.
Oh, just great. Now I want to go back to Puerto Rico. Thanks a lot, Bryan! :)
I could actually smell the food
Thank you for this trip
Another amazing episode of On the Road!
Good food, good times, good friends, .... good, good, good ... can't ask for anything better (not even the lottery).
This was wonderful. We need more videos of the interior of PR that deserves even more love.
When I went to the uni in New York and we did a trip to Puerto Rico and we went to the mountains and the beaches. The mountains were beautiful and the people were beautiful too. The tourist should do a trip around the island
No, stay away!
I love Puerto Rico❤too
I could watch hours of this series. It feels genuine and true. Thanks!
Omg home I miss it
Love it!👍🫶🏾
Recao, also called culantro, needs wider exposure. People who can taste cilantro as something besides soap say it tastes like a stronger cilantro. I, someone who thinks cilantro tastes like soap, finds recao very pleasant. If it was in wider use instead of cilantro I would spend so much less time picking garnishes off my dishes in restaurants.
Great story, you know that Cilantro is also in sofrito which is one of the seasoning bases Puerto Rican and other cultures use in most cooking. I’m sure you like the taste of that!
@@itsleokid2075 I'm sure you fail to understand basic chemistry. People who genetically taste raw cilantro as soap do not taste cooked cilantro at all. The compounds that taste like soap denature and are no longer a problem and we still cannot taste the other ones.
I get you think this isn't genetic or something but this is very clearly established. I will always taste cilantro as soap. No amount of "developing a taste for it" will change that. When you spread those raw leaves over food about 1 in 6 people will just taste soap.
I have suggested to people who don’t like cilantro…for Puerto Ricans is the traditional one.
Mountain food is the best
How come only Brian always gets to travel?
Fantastic Bryan. Thank you.
Great video! The food looked scrumptious, particularly the cod fish stew😊.
YUM! I had a boyfriend in high school who was Puerto Rican and his mom made their version of tamales that uses plantain to make the dough instead of masa. The sauce she made to cook them in was amazing!! Every Christmas she made them and I made sure I got in on the feast every year we were together. Definitely a factor in how long we stayed together, lol, didnt want to miss out on his mama's cooking! Everything was always so delicious. This reminds me of some of the other dishes she made.
Those were definitely my favorite though!
Love it ! 💖
Enjoyed your reporting as much or even more than the chefs, food and country side. Keep it up.😎
That food looks brilliant
Ooooh! Gerardo! Swoon... But also - this food looks so delicious! Great video!
Yum ,yum.
Loved this. I was hoping to make it to la ruta de lechon in my last trip there, but it didn't work out because...weather. Next time! The food looks delicious!
Need to visit ...
I just looked at the menu for Casa Viejas, and they do have another fish dish, although it is a pastelillo (turnover) and not a main dish. It is the same cod but used as a turnover filling.
This does highlight the difficulty of travelling some places poses for those of us who are vegetarian or vegan. The highlighted restaurants don't seem to offer much for me.
Mi islita querida
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Fam 💪🏼✨😮💨❤️🔥 best spot in PR
Los Jibaros son de las montañas.!!
!Mucho felicidades! yo conoci Puerto Rico poco antes la pandemia y tuve que salir pronto porque si no tuve mucho dinero. La vida en Puerto Rico es muy duro. Hay que tener mucho dinero. la isla es muy linda pero le falta infastructura y despues hurican Maria! !! chucha !!
Ayyyy! Gerardo!! Estoy enamorado! Bryan, Espero que tengas su número de teléfono en Puerto Rico. 🙂Gracias por el video!
Will you please give us the names of these 2 restaurants you visited and where in PR they are located?
Do you have trouble reading words in videos because with the map of Puerto Rico displayed twice and the restaurant signs ( and shirts for one) each shown more than once should give you what you're after. If the Spanish-English translation captions don't help (they might) maybe turn on the captions for the overall video for Bryan's narration.
There's also a companion article linked in the video description for the one place, but there may be a paywall.
Those are EMPANADILLAS
Hello:)
Some parts of the island call them “Pastelillos”, other parts call it “Empanadas”.
Either or, we just enjoy them!
@@lisamzayasso my Puerto Rican friend would tell you pasteleos are pastry’s. Things like quesitos, de guayaba, tornillos, y más como esto, because they’re sweet. I get what you’re saying but to them it’s like no empanadas are savory and pasteleos are sweet.
Nope
I'm from PR. My father owned many restaurants in PR. EMPANADILLAS ARE NOT EMPANADAS NOR PASTELILLOS.
@@EstherPuchiwhat are the things that are like tamales but made with plantains instead of masa? I've forgotten what they were called but I havent forgotten how delicious they were every Christmas when my boyfriend's mom would make them!!
🕺⭐💃🌹🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👌👍🚶
You can get all this food in New York from Puerto Ricans and don’t let anyone tell you any different.!!
Poor Brian. He must be tired from all that paid travel and food.
Hopefully better then Dominican food 🤭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why the laugh lol??
The scenery is beautiful & tropical weather (like heaven) but, I would not be interested in anything shown
Your loss ..the food is absolutely delicious 😋
Don't knock it till you tried it..
@@angiegirl1510it’s ok honey… To each their own and everyone isn’t all excited about puerto rican food like most Puerto Ricans. Same as most Mexicans they like their countries food the best!
Dont knock it till you've tried it!! Wait... nevermind just means more for the rest of us cause I'd eat all of it and I've never cared for salted fish, but I'm willing to try it when it's made with so many other delicious flavors. But if you aren't adventurous enough to try any of these dishes you probably aren't inclined to travel to places like Puerto Rico so no problem there I guess right?
Met this guy in person and he was very drunk and rude. Won’t be watching again.
Hahaha good to know, if I ever see him while I travel I'll head the other way!!
Their food looks like the food of the poor.
May look poor to you, but it is rich in flavors.
So yummy yummy delicious!
You seem miserable.
I can tell your taste buds are very poor.
😂😂😂 Puerto Ricans like to defend their culture even when they’re wrong lol.
Well that sounded rude! What a lovely thing to say about a cultural cuisine that is comfort food to so many!! And what, may I ask, does food not of the "poor" look like? And if you say anything with lobster I'm gonna laugh cause it was once eaten almost exclusively by the "poor" so I'd definitely love to hear your description of what rich people food looks like? And what makes you think that it would taste that much better because you approve of the appearance? Do not judge a book by its cover or you may miss out on some really good food because of a snooty attitude!! Man some people's kids! I swear!
Jibaros where you at
