Try these Puerto Rican breakfast favorites; sweet & creamy.
Crema de farina (cream of wheat) is a Puerto Rican breakfast food staple that also qualifies as comfort food in my book. This creamy dish was a staple growing up, and it’s easy to see why. The quick cooking, rich and creamy wheat porridge is sweetened with cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and honey, then topped with a pat of butter that oozes into a puddle of golden deliciousness.

I invite you to try our fritters.
In Puerto Rico, our fried snacks– or fritters– are well known all over the island. Get a taste of some of our favorites, like the cod-flavored bacalaítos and meat-stuffed alcapurrias, and other crunchy snacks that makeup Puerto Rico's culinary culture.
Alcapurrias are torpedo-shaped fritters made from shredded root vegetables like yuca and yautía, stuffed with a choice of meat. These deep-fried snacks are normally found in “chinchorros” also known as bars and kiosks of Puerto Rico open-air, beachside restaurants that pair beautifully with a cold beer.

First, salted pork or ham hock is sautéed in olive oil.
