Food

One of our favorite parts of any vacation is eating.  We love to try new things and introduce the kids to them as well.  Puerto Rican food was amazing and we tried all kinds of new foods!

We stopped at numerous food truck type places and roadside stands that served things like pinchos (meat on a stick essentially), rellenos (stuffed mashed potato balls), and fried plantains.  The kids liked all of that stuff pretty well since it wasn't too far off the norm.  We also sampled some carne fritas and mofongo (like a plantain cup with fried meat on top of it).

There was a surf competition going on right next to where we were staying and a couple of food trucks set up shop there.






These stuffed tacos were crazy delicious.  Ike loved them, Dave not so much.









Sunday night, Josh and I went out to sample different foods at the kiosks.

Josh had to pose in this little alcove that was on the floor of our condo.

At the Tattoo Tavern.

Josh and his pizza.  He just can't stay away from it!








We also tried a great burger place while we were out that night called El Jefe.  We liked it so much that we brought the kids back to it a couple days later.

You can kind of see the beach behind us-this is the back side of all the kiosks.

Dave chowing down on his burger.

He got to write his and Ike's name on the wall!

Eating pinchos in the rain forest.  Can't beat that view!!









We also had Wendy's (Josh had to order completely in Spanish-that was interesting) and ate frequently at the bar and grill that was next to our condo.  Oh, and we ate Church's Chicken at the airport, haha.  All in all we had great experiences out to eat and everyone was very nice considering we didn't speak Spanish and had two not-so-patient kids with us!
