Mofongo from Bebos in San Juan: delicious.  Always delicious.  And they do a nifty thing with acid to denature garlic's raw taste and put it on evvveeerrrryyyytttthhhiiinnngg, and it's great.   


IMG_8129
All of the fruit!

IMG_8158
Delicious pastries!

Cream of plantain soup - kind of like mashed potato soup?  But plantainy?  From one of the kiosks.

Farmer's market goods!

IMG_8589
Allll the piña coladas.

From El Rincon del Sabor: A full fish fillet with a sweet tomato sauce, beans, and rice (beans here are more of a bean soup, which was unexpected but delicious).
