History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Luquillo and roadside kiosks📅 20th century🍢 PR

Pinchos are sold from charcoal grills at roadside kiosks all over Puerto Rico, most famously at the Kioskos de Luquillo, a row of food stalls next to one of the island's best-known beaches.

The piece of bread on the tip is the traditional way to hold the hot skewer and soak up the sauce.
