About

The Mofongo and Mojito culinary demo & dining experience. You can’t come to Puerto Rico and not try our Mofongo. This is why we have chosen a beautiful local restaurant that has a unique colonial atmosphere to give you the time to appreciate our Latin flavors. Their staff will welcome you with unique Puerto Rican hors d’oeuvres and our local chef will demonstrate how to create the famous mofongo. The mofongo it’s a must-try for first-time visitors who want to claim to have sampled the local fare and for locals it is just something to keep repeating at any craving time. Mofongo is a mashed mound of plantains or cassava into which a combination of chicken or vegetables is added. Become a chef for a day and find out how this incredible Puerto Rican meal is made, then, at the end, enjoy your own delicious creation!

We will get acquainted with a little bit of our history and familiarize with important details of our Puerto Rican culture. Your guide will walk you through important historical sites like the San Juan Gate, the Princess Pathway and Prison, the Roots Fountain, Museum of Doña Fela, the Rogativa statue, Plaza de Armas, San Juan Cathedral and so much more.
