We're in Puerto Rico for this episode! Alongside my local Puerto Rican friend Luis, we take you on a mouthwatering adventure through the heart of Puerto Rico’s mountains along La Ruta del Lechón, a road famous for its incredible roasted pork (Lechon). As you drive through lush green landscapes and winding roads, we come to La Ruta del Lechon, and all of the vibrant roadside stalls where whole pigs are slow-roasted over open fires.

We decided to eat at El Rancho Original, an amazing place for the Puerto Rican food feast!

The crispy, juicy pork melts in your mouth, perfectly paired with freshly muddled mojitos bursting with tropical flavors. Each bite and sip immerses us deeper into the rich culinary traditions that make this Puerto Rican food so special.

But our journey doesn’t stop at lechón! We also visit a quaint mountain bakery tucked away in a quiet village. The warm aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries greets us as we step inside. From flaky pastelillos to sweet coconut and guava-filled treats, this stop gives us a taste of the island’s sweeter side.

Join us as we savor these local delights and uncover the authentic flavors of Puerto Rico's countryside that most tourists don't visit!
