“holy shit that’s a lot of ingredients”
“WHAT”
AHAHAHA
Gisselle Dallas True! That universal "What?!" was pregnant with the pause of life. It was like the "Who are you cursing at?" my mama would give.
My soul whithered lol
OKay Gee
Lmao you have a very colorful way of speaking
My grandma would be like "the fuck you say!?!?" 🤣🤣🤣
Is called Americanized 😂😂😂
LMAOO I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING WHEN I SAW GADIEL CAPTION “in denial that Puerto Rican food is better” 😂😂😂😂
Esther Sambrano heeeyyy name twin
Esther Ogoti lol hiiiii
Tocayas unite (from someone not named Esther)!
Grandma name squad! Gang gang!
Me too!!! I loved that caption!!!
Can this become a series? Eli tries to cook his grandmas recipes!
¡monbebe ! Yassss i agree
That would be a great idea.💯💕🍸
Yes!!!
non latino: “this is really good”
IM DEAD
Gisselle Dallas i was weeekkk😂🤣
I know LOL😂
This made me tear up a bit. I feel like as Latinos, our countries may not be the richest in the world or our foods the most gourmet but they are made with love which makes them taste amazing. We are rich in culture and tradition ❤️
BlueAngel2397 these are facts! All countries of color have FLAVA of some kind!
So true
Sounds like your typical home cook in the American South. Nothing beats a Southern cook (like my momma).
BlueAngel2397 Si si 😭😭
FriDaObi I know, Spain has some pretty good food
It's never to late to learn spanish, salsa dancing or anything else related to your roots! Weather your 2nd or 4th generation, be proud of your heritage! Learn learn learn
Adrian Torres I really want to learn Spanish ☹️😭
I’m trying. 😭
Adrian T A true but also don’t make excuses grow balls and man up
If he don't want to learn its his business, so mind yours, you don't know why he don't speak it.
Eli you gotta make it for your Abuela in Chicago. To see the smile/love on her face from the Joy on you cooking for her. 👍
slickeddy2000 i once cooked with my abuela, and it did not go as planned. She redid everything 🤣. Was making meatballs, apparently there is a way to roll it too little and too much. So I would finish with one, she would redo it, everytime. Hahaha my abuela did not have any patience with my 0 cooking skills.
Roosmarie Croes He has to hit Abuela with a taste of her own Medicine 😉the I came all this way from LA just to cook for you and you won't let me. I thought you were proud of me and loved me Abuela???
DONDE ESTÁN MIS LATINOS 🇵🇷🇦🇷🇲🇽🇺🇾🇻🇪🇵🇦🇵🇪🇳🇮🇭🇳🇬🇹🇪🇨🇩🇴🇨🇺🇸🇻🇨🇱🇨🇴🇧🇷🇧🇴🇨🇷🇵🇾 !!! Yo soy de Mexico :)🇲🇽
Adriana aaa yo soy de Puerto Rico
Adriana aaa 🇵🇦🇵🇦

Viva los latinos !

Eli is daddy but his dad is a daaadddyyy!
daddy issues
Zaddyyyy
eww gross no he's dumb af
Ikr??? So hot. 😩
where was his dad in this video?
"...and who's more authentic than Ivan, who's from Puerto Rico."
"Hi! I'm Ivan and I'm from Puerto Rico!"
😂😂💀
Gabriel Amituana'i 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
omg, this like legit made me cry! when Eli was talking to his grandma at the end and it sounded like she got emotional and called him Papito and Papa, that's love right there. Puerto Rican older moms and grannys are a hot mess of emotions for their kids and always try to make sure they are well-fed, which means over-fed LOL but that's their way of taking care of the family. Eli you did such a great job, she was so proud of you and i'm really proud to call you a fellow Boricua! now go learn some Spanish;)
Lol Iván was being too hard on him for not rolling his R's when pronouncing arroz. Puerto Ricans often don't pronounce the R's in words anyways! 😂 I know my abuela calls it 'ahoz' and it's adorable af.
cocola chulisnaqui what ive noticed is that we roll them like there's no tomorrow when they start the word like "Rico" but we turn them into L's when they're at the end like "amor" or "estar". Of course, if we're aware about it like at a presentation or an interview, we do pronounce them correctly. It happens mostly when you're being colloquial or speaking faster than usual 😂
cocola chulisnaqui i would disagree ppl from the Island pronounce the Rs unless they talk more urban or are raised in the USA I’m from the Island and I hardly know anyone who doesn’t pronounce their Rs
Christine P. It could very well be a quirk within my immediate family and our social group! I'm not saying we never do, just meant to point out that we often don't pronounce it clearly in certain words.
I noticed that while listening to Puerto Rican Salsa, that y'all don't roll your 'R's' like the Cubans, Panamanians and Dominicans do.. Just like The Canary Island Spaniards.. Sometimes it's hard to differentiate what the words mean.. for example the word Arroz becomes Arrro.. No pronunciation of the 'z'.
yeah like instead of saying carro by rolling the r’s my family says it like ca-hoh (its not a soft sound tho). its so hard to spell out and describe idk but yeah we dont really use the r’s 😂 maybe its a Ponce thing idk 🤷🏽♀️
I LOVE Eli and Maya bc I relate to them so much! Like I'm Puerto Rican but I'm 3rd generation so I can't speak it but grew up with the culture (both parents are puerto rican) and I always feel less than by everyone. It's nice to know I'm not alone. It's also nice to see other Latinos support 100% both Maya and Eli.
SlugoTV just learn I don't get it. I didn't grow up with my dad and I still made it a priority to learn bc it's my culture.
SlugoTV don't ever feel less. You are just as much Boricua like those on the island. Believe me I was born on the island, and when I came to America I used to think that way, like oh they're not Boricua enough!! But thats bullshit, thankfully I grew out of that mentality, and know that no matter where you're born, if you're BORICUA YOU'RE BORICUA!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷💞💞🌹🌹
Me too!!
SlugoTV my parentd are purto rican dominican and haitian
Same
“You can get it...not like that.” yes like that!! ;)
Julissa was like "you can get it, okay, Eli...but not like THAT"
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
“Extra long grain rice?” Thats when all Puerto Ricans scream no at their screens.
Sophie Ruiz I was like noooooo
Sophie Ruiz that’s the only rice my mom used (extra long grain rice). She was cooking for her whole family since the age of 6. It’s the only type I know how to cook with too.
I use long rice. And also add coconut milk.
Hahaha yeah that's what i said. My mom is old school & she uses Medium grain. Im hungry now!
I prefer to use long grain, if I use medium it comes out undercooked or moyogao.
My abuelito has a gandule tree in his backyard & he makes me arroz con gandules ALLLL the time. He makes it vegetarian for me even though he’s 85 lmao ❤️🇵🇷🙏🏼 love this. And yesss I MISS THE CHICKENS TOO!!!! And the sounds of birds when you wake up by the coast
Alessandra I. Ruiz what are gandules?
Alessandra I. Ruiz I didn't know that bean was a tree..I'm second generation half Puerto Rican and half Guatemalan..the Guatemalan was ingrained more..thanks for teaching me something new!
Peas. which grown on vines not trees but maybe Alessandra's abuelo has a big ass vine that looks like a tree?
Mauricio K They don’t grow on vines. It’s more akin to a bush or shrub about 2-4 meters tall
oh I know,. I have a trellace i plant mine in front of so they crawl up it. Looks pretty and it's easier to pick em. I was just confused when you said "Tree" i was like "damn, it must be a massive then"
We need a Gadiel goes to DR video!!!
JustNel hell yeah
JustNel yesssssss
JustNel he'll yeah
"waking up to the sound of chickens" THIS IS TRUE AF. My neighbor's chickens and roosters have always made noise but since the hurricane it's been all day activity for the little mofos. You can literally hear them in 70% of my videos. 💀🐓🐓🐓 I LIVE IN THE METRO SO IMAGINE THE COUNTRYSIDE
Puñe eso es cierto y yo vivo en Yauco
Yup when your in the mountains it literally sounds like your in the middle of the jungle 😂😂😂😂
Lol as a kid I had a rooster,a goat and 2 dogs
If you live in the really Latino populated neighborhoods that’s what you be hearing fr
Those damn chickens are annoying asf to me 😂But I love them at the same time🤷🏽♀️
If anyone wants to learn how to make authentic Puerto Rican food theres a youtube channel called "Sweets and Beyond" she has comments all the time about how her recipes came put just like someones abuelita, Enjoyyy
Meme Kween also evelyn Dominguez and freakin Rican too
Dammit Eli you made me cry!
Please give your abuela a big hug from me next tine you see her. I lost mine WAY too soon and I appreciate when adults still have the luck to have a relationship with their abuelos.
Eli is so damn handsome😍🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 #Bori4Life
“I feel like I’m on an episode of chopped disappoint abuela edition” 😂
That's was too funny when he said that. I was like dang LOL😂
Proof that you don't need to speak Spanish to embrace and love your Latin roots. Good for you, bro!
My grandparents were born in Puerto Rico and I can’t speak Spanish. It does make you feel less apart of your culture, but know that if you don’t speak Spanish and you are of some Hispanic heritage, it’s ok. It doesn’t make you less Hispanic.
If you wanna connect with your puertorican heritage you should come to Puerto Rico and experience it from its purest form.
The last part made me tear up. My grandma died of cancer when I was 9 and this made me miss her even more.
How did a Buzzfeed video make me cry!?!?! 🤔🤔 Haha. It was so sweet! And now I really want to try that rice!!! YUM 😉👏 Great Video! Much Love 😁💚
WhitDog WhatsUp I miss my grandma ;( His grandma was choking up at the end and it made me cried too
Tiffany Zette That's what got me, I lost my Mamaw 2 years ago and think about her everyday! 💜💛
Haha I’ll send some over
Eli Vazquez OMG.... IT'S YOU!!! Shut Up...😲😲😲. Haha. And great, sound good. THANKS😁💚
made me cry too and laff hehe
I want a part 2 of this were he tries it again but this time his abuela tries the arroz that would be so sweet
Ivan is FINE.... And Eli you have to cover the rice in order for it to cook, and you should cook it ahead of time so that the rest of the ingredients don't overcook.
talia maloof OMG MY GOD KNOW HES SO HOT
7:03 Gadiel: ta' un poco simple🤣😂😂 oh myyy
5:57 I'm not Puerto Rican, but I think you have to cover the pan with a lid so the rice can absorb the added water. But looks great!
Thank you Eli, I cried and now I'm gonna go call my abuela 🙌🏽💞
So happy!
Eli Vazquez definitely happy tears! Your grandma is so cute c:
Gadiel and Julissa are like siblings omg!!😂
Taresha 18 Love them!
They're funny!
I love this so much. My VERY Puerto Rican mom passed away in 2015 and I just suddenly remembered so many of her recipes and when I cook them my siblings are all impressed. I feel her essence through me when I cook, ESPECIALLY ARROZ CON GANDULES!
"You can get it Eli" 😂😂😂😂
nicole S “and not like that” 😂
That had me DEAD ahahha
Thank you for posting a video about PR. So much of what Buzzfeed does about Latino-America is Mexican or Dominican.
I’m half Mexican and half Puerto Rican. I’m Mexorican and proud! 🇵🇷 🇲🇽
Seidy l.p. Mi orgullo es que soy mestiza.
I identify with this SO much. 2nd generation mainland Puerto Rican. Spanish is never conjugated correctly. I love my family. My grandmas especially who love our family through their cooking. My maternal grandmother is on a health decline right now. I love her so much and am inspired to try her own arroz con gandules recipe. As someone who doesn’t cook at all, I’m nervous yet EXCITED. Thank you, Pero Like. Thank you, Eli. And thank you Eli’s Grandma.
Was I the only one that got teary eyed at the end of this video? Such a good grandson!
Eli's so damn fine lawd...
I swear he is adorable especially when hes talking to his grandma
No adobo on the chuleteas??? Cubito de pollo?? Maybe thats why it needed salt, still looked good!! #commentingdesdelaisla xD
Yeah, and canola oil doesn't really helps its just a frying oil the pork chops in the rice don't need to be fried since they have been cubed up. Also thyme? Tomillo is not used in Puerto Rican cuisine.
yes thts tru ,chicken cubes (no msg)
I am from Panama and I grew up in Philly on Puerto Rican food & I want to master this rice. @Maryane what is the recipe girl? Lol
Where’s the “bendición “ my grandparents don’t care if I know nothing about Spanish. As long as I knew that xD
Manny I kept waiting for him to say it and they just hung up and I was left like 👀 dude
LMAO so true
That's so true like if I start a conversation with my abuela without saying "bendición" she would interrupt me in the middle of the conversation and say "dios te bendiga" so I could remember I forgot to say "bendición" 😂😂😂
Manny 🤣 Oh yyeeah..
Its funny cuz my mom side doesnt do it but my dads side does. I lived with him for a year, now its a habit any older latino/latina i say it lol
I love making arroz con gandules...and I'm peruvian but my moms stepmother is puertorriqueña and she taught my mom and my mom taught me. I make it for every holiday.
Meiri Costa very cool!! 👍🌹
This was ADORABLE, esp the end. How many of my Dominicans here also pronounce it "gUandules" like Yulissa?? I also used to help my aunt separate the beans and love gandules, my mom made some for my colombian friend now and she's hooked, it really is like crack ;)
yeah all my Dominican family and friends say guandules and all the Puerto Ricans I know say gandules plus us Dominicans call it moro de guandules and PR arroz con gandules
José Antonio Villatoro I like moro de guandules but I prefer my guandules on the side with white rice and mixing them together
Rita De Leon ohh you like gandules guisados with arroz blanco shit is the bomb 👌👌🔥
He is... very attractive
Arroz con leche!!! (Please)
Nene the more you do it the easier it will get. Keep trying and who knows one day you will be making your own pasteles. 😉🇵🇷
I'm Cuban American and I love arroz con gandules!!! I've made it twice. First time I made it it came out delicious. The second time I made it for potluck at work, well it was good, but I forgot the gandules!!! Lol My coworkers that never had it liked it, but I was disappointed. Be careful with the salt, you don't want to make it too salty. Read the instructions for the amount of water you need to cook the rice.
"you can get it, okay Eli?"
"and not like that."
LOL
Eli...that's so Awesome!! I'm a Mexi-Rican too, but I was raised and have more of my PR Heritage because I was raised by my Grandma. She shared her rice recipe with me and I have been able to channel her "sazon" I am now teaching my kids to make it. Treasure that recipe, continue to share it with your kids and so forth. The wonderful legacy that will live for generations to come....WEEEPPPAAAA!
I was raised by my grandma so its my brain forever knowing how to cook everything puertorican but I'm still so stressed out for him. I was hyper ventilating and shit 😂😂
I'm from Barbados and I've been speaking Spanish since I was 8 I'm 18 now going 19 in June and I'm proud of speaking it
We need more videos of Iván and Alexis. They're dope.
With your grandmas recepie and Hector Lavoe playing, it just had to be good. Keep cooking! I always admire the dedication my grandma puts in her food and we've bonded so much over it although we are miles away from eachother.
7:04 “Esta un poco simple” 🤣
u made me cry when u told ur grandma how much u love her.ur awesome and a real puerto rican is in the heart and u r a real boriqua..
My favorite food:
Arroz con habichuelas guisadas, chuleta, pastel, y de postre besitos de coco. 😳😛
Elyan Quinones que bufete😭😱🤪
I’m third generation. Can’t speak a word of Spanish and definitely can’t roll my R’s either I relate to this so much! I never felt Puerto Rican enough. I wish I had a chance to learn to cook my grandmothers food. I was too young when she died. I’d love to be able to make my dad a great Puerto Rican meal. Soak up all you can from your grandma it’s such a gift to have her.
I love how you did this can u do more puerto rican pero like videos PLS
"WHAT"
God, I love his abuela!
Can Buzzfeed flight him to see his granma please! that would be such a cute, loving video :D
I am loving Eli in these Pero Like videos, exploring his culture. It's my grandma's birthday today, so this was extra special. I remember calling her a few years ago asking her for her recipe for rice pudding. Again, awesome video.
Hand down one of the best rice dishes in the world. IMO, but then again I'm being biased. Pero yummmmmm Arroz con gandules y pernil is the best!!!! 🌹🇵🇷🌹BORIBORI!!!!
RottedDollFace nah you’re right. I live around Mexicans and Puerto Ricans and I prefer it from a boricua
Brooklyn Dun esooo es mami!!🌹🌹👍
Oh man I teared up hard at the end when his abuela got emotional.
I love the different way Dominicans and Puertoricans say guandules 😂😂😂
I love making all types of Spanish food! My hubby is Dominican and I feel it’s important to cook food that he’s used to. This video is so inspiring. It’s so nice you learned how to make rice like your grandma. So nice 🙏
When he let the phone on 😂😂
I am FREAKING out over your shirt! Yes! ❤️💙🤍 They Alley is one of my favorite places ever! This just made me really excited. Lol
I can’t judge because I can’t cook either!! 😭😂 but I’ll stick to my Abuela’s rice he did really well though 😂❤️🇵🇷
8:08 I’ve never identified more with someone in my whole life 😂😂 I’m not Latina I’m not even American I just love this channel ❤️
Anyone else thinks he’s HELLA fine 😍
'Dito... Eli needs some comforting. He is toooo adorable! Una chulería! Papi, te enseño a hablar español quando tú quieras! His abuela is about to say, "No jodas más, nene!!!" He could make me a cold cheese sammich and I'd be happy! LMAO
Woohoo... mayagüez representando !!!
If you have a good recipe and you are capeable of and have the patience to follow the precise steps, then your food is going to be great! I don't understand people's fear of cooking. You did great, Eli! I hope you get the chance to make it with your grandma.
Nice video! Your gradma is so sweet :)
I wanna see the Dominican Pero Like Team trying to cook sancocho :D
Thanks for all the love ya'll! Actually going to my grandmas tomorrow to make rice with her.
honestly eli es un papi chulo
I’m Puerto Rican, this video got to me 😢 my Abuela passed away, growing up I stayed in the kitchen with her all my cooking skills came from her and I can bake too, thank you for Sharing this video.
so you just gon make this video and not leak the recipe 😪
Gadiel and this salt (or lack of) had me ready to cry. In cant breathe I'm,laughing so hard 😂😂
#LatinosRunsTheWorld!❤
LMAO GADIEL “He’s just standing there”
Amo el arroz
Eli is so cute! I love this video and his grandma is adorable
I really can relate to Ivan :^) #Puertorriqueño #Nojodasalasgallinas
Dale Eli!! First time I cooked arroz con gandules it came out all mushy as well, but at least it still had el sabor! Proud of you! Keep representing us non-fluent Puerto Ricans!! xoxo
That is not how I've made arroz con gandules perooooo it looks really good
SlugoTV Are their proper videos to show how to make it??? Want to try to make this
Everyone has different family recipes cause I haven't made it like he did too but I agree it does look really good
SlugoTV not everyone makes it like you do
Eli is so precious and great 💕😭 I love this video. It’s never too late to connect to your roots.
if Eli calls to Puertoriquen rice one more time, ima fight
Seidy l.p. Him, it’s called Arroz Con Gandules, not no damn puertorriquen rice
Eli your arroz looked very puertorrican!!! I am one and I live in the island... So proud of you!!!, one trick for next time... Measure your rice and use the same amount of water. after the water starts boiling and has started to dry, you lower your heat and cover the pot and let it do it's magic. 10 minutes later, you uncover and "menealo" with a spoon check the rice for doneness and if it's not done cover it for some more minutes... If you want a pastel taste just cover with plantain leaves and then the lid.
YO SOY BORRICUAAA!!!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Calendario Familiar pa’ que tú lo sepa!
Wepa
Yesssss that rice is a staple in every puerto rican household. Doesnt matter what holiday its always there.
She lives in Chicago me too
Eli, don't feel bad my cousin don't speak a lick of Spanish either. And growing up my eldest cousin didn't like arroz con gandules. Btw don't take this the wrong way no homo. You have have nice smile and seem so cool. At the end of video, it made me tear up when your grandma started to cry and told you she loved you. Nice vlog. 😊
I just wanna see Curly making pupusas...
Man I love the "Pero Like" team!!!! I'm so glad I can cook and speak spanish but I never make anyone feel less than for not being "Latino enough". Latinos Unidos!!!!! Shout out from CHICAGO!!!!
Damn that reminds me of the first time I made arroz con gandules 😂 then struggle was real so I relate bro
You forgot to put the foil over the pot and place the lid on top like your grandma said to do. Thanks for the recipe because I LOVE PUETORICAN RICE!!!💯🍸💕
