Puerto Rican food on a budget

I love Puerto Rican food I usually get it a small hole in the wall in Bridgeport ct but theyre prices are so high. want to start making it myself but dont know how, I tried rice and beans one time and it all came out hard I dont know what im doing 😐 I need to start eating at home I love pr chicken but dont know how to make it. I know there a lot of recipes online but dont think I willl ever get the hang of making the rice I love arroz con gandules, the beef and cheese pocket thing, potato balls, pork chops, shish kabob I dont have a grill to make the shish kabobs though, I think its pork they use and they put bbq sauce on it. another thing is I like chicken breast not thighs to much any way to make that work? thanks!

El rapto de la Iglesia tendrá lugar, amigos; por favor, arrepiéntanse y entreguen su vida ahora. Después de que la Iglesia abandone este mundo, el Anticristo tomará el poder; ya no habrá paz y el caos se desatará en todo el mundo. Nadie podrá comprar ni vender sin la marca de la bestia 666.

Como puedo probar mi sofrito?

Estoy preparando un sofrito por primera vez y todos los consejos que me dan mis abuelas son porciones "a tu gusto". Quiero ver como me queda, pero no quiero preparar unas habichuelas o algo asi para probarlo cada vez. Se que a veces el olor puede determinar como va a salir pero no se por sierto como debe de olir

Sampler Plate from Parada 22, San Francisco

I took a friend who had never tried Puerto Rican food and we both ordered our own sampler plate: pernil asado, chicharron de pollo, yuca al mojo, tostones, amarillos maduros and some salsa roja dip. It was excellent. My friend loved it and asked me when are we going back. Made me quite happy.

Can you make arroz blanco in a rice cooker?

What setting do you use? Will it come out the same? Is it better to make it normally in a pot?

Cheap beer and food near SJU

Due to some crazy circumstances my wife and I missed our flight and couldnt get a new flight until tomorrow. Are there any cheap neighborhoods/districts close to the airport we should see? We already hit up Old San Juan, Condado and the TMobile District so I want something less touristy. Quieter. And cheaper since we just had to drop another $200 on a last minute hotel.

Puerto Rican Pantry Essentials

If you've ever tasted real Puerto Rican cooking — the kind that fills the house with garlic and achiote on a Sunday morning — you know it starts long before the stove turns on. It starts in the pantry.

A well-stocked Puerto Rican kitchen isn't about having hundreds of ingredients. It's about having the right ones: the seasonings, grains, oils, and bases that form the backbone of criollo cuisine. With these Latin cooking essentials on hand, you can make arroz con gandules, pernil, tostones, caldo, and a dozen other dishes without a single extra grocery run.

This is the complete guide to stocking a Latin kitchen the right way. Whether you're Puerto Rican and rebuilding the pantry you grew up with, or you're new to Caribbean cooking and want to do it right from the start — every item on this list earns its place.
