Food of Puerto Rico

For any food lover, Puerto Rico is just an amazing place to be. The local food on the island is full of flavour, using all kinds of sea foods and meats. The fine dining restaurants of the city have seen an influx of European and American chefs, which has lead to the creation of some amazing vibrant dishes. Restaurants like Pikayo and Aquaviva in San Juan are a good example of this. The Puerto Rican food gets most of its flavours from a blend of herbs, called abodo and sofrito, and most of their most popular foods are friends and savoury. There are also severa types of stews, and beef is used frequently in dishes. That being said, Arroz con pollo is a chicken dish you should definitely try.
