Puerto Rico has a distinct cuisine, which reminds of the Cuban kitchen.

One thing that strikes me as odd is that the food there seems so unhealthy. There is so much fruit on the island, but in most local restaurants the food seems to be suspiciously void of vitamines. Fried plantain, fried chicken breast, fried potatoes and sometimes even fried bread...

As a general rule I try not to eat the real Puerto Rican food to often, and I always have some fruit in my room to compensate for the non-optimal cuisine. Don't get me wrong, it's delicious food, but with all the oranges, mangos and other fresh fruit you'd imagine a more vitamine rich diet. One of the recipes I enjoy a lot is pechuga in a small restaurant near our customer's office, con arroz congri i pikante. Whenever we're in Puerto Rico we often go to that place for lunch.
