🇵🇷🔥 FOOD REVIEW PART 9 | BEST PUERTO RICAN FOOD IN CONNECTICUT?! 📍 Pollo Rico , 392 Eastern Point Rd, Groton, CT We’re back with another food review, and this time we’re checking out Pollo Rico in Groton, Connecticut! 🇵🇷 As someone who’s Puerto Rican, I always enjoy finding restaurants that represent our food and culture. We ordered a variety of traditional dishes to see what this spot has to offer! Here’s everything I tried and rated! 👇 🍌 Mofongo Ball = 7.3/10 Part of the Rico Sampler! A bite-sized version of the Puerto Rican classic made with fried green plantains. 🥔 Relleno de Papa = 7.8/10 A Puerto Rican favorite! A fried potato ball traditionally stuffed with seasoned ground beef. 🥟 Alcapurria = 8/10 One of Puerto Rico’s most recognizable street foods! These fried fritters are popular at beach kiosks throughout the island. 🥭 Jugo de Parcha = 12/10 🔥 The passion fruit juice was a HUGE hit! I enjoyed this so much that a regular 10/10 wasn’t enough! 🐷 Pernil = 8/10 A Puerto Rican staple! Slow-roasted pork that’s a must-try when exploring traditional Puerto Rican food. 🥟 Beef Empanada = 8.2/10 A golden, crispy pastry filled with seasoned beef. A classic snack that earned a solid rating! 🍚 Arroz con Gandules = 8.7/10 Puerto Rican rice with pigeon peas! One of the most iconic dishes in our cuisine and a staple at family gatherings. 🍗 Fried Chicken = 8/10 We also tried the fried chicken served alongside the rice. Another solid option! 🥪 Tripleta = 10/10 🏆 THE STAR OF THE SHOW! A Puerto Rican sandwich traditionally loaded with three types of meat, topped with vegetables and sauces. This earned a PERFECT 10/10! 🏆 MY TOP 3: 🥇 Jugo de Parcha = 12/10 🥈 Tripleta = 10/10 🥉 Arroz con Gandules = 8.7/10 Overall, Pollo Rico had some great options, but the Tripleta and passion fruit juice were the biggest standouts for me! It was also great meeting the people behind the restaurant and supporting a business bringing Puerto Rican flavors to Connecticut! 🇵🇷❤️ 🔥 Have you tried Pollo Rico in Groton?

Happy 1st day of Fall friends!! 🥰🍁🍂🧡 Let’s make some Sancocho!! 🙌🏼🔥 Sorry it’s a little bit of a longer video, but I think it was necessary in this case lol! Ingredients: -Beef stew meat (usually chuck beef) — you can also use other kinds of meat here! Beef, pork, chicken, or even all 3! -Sofrito -Onions, garlic & bell peppers (I used green & yellow) -Root vegetables: carrots, yuca, yautía blanca, potatoes & calabaza (the closest English translation I can find is Caribbean pumpkin) -Green plantains -Green cooking bananas -Corn on the cob -Fresh cilantro & recao/culantro (optional) Spices I used to marinate the meat & season the soup: -Goya Mojo (just for the meat) -Adobo -Sazón -Dried sofrito -Garlic powder -Onion powder -Salt & pepper -Ground annatto (achiote) -Dried oregano -Chicken & beef bouillon I cooked the beef on its own for about 30 minutes before adding the sofrito, onions, peppers, garlic & water. Once it comes to a boil, add the yuca & yautía, cover and let those cook for about 20-30 minutes before adding the potatoes, corn, calabaza & cooking banana dumplings. TBH, if you’re planning to let this cook for a while anyway, you can make it even easier on yourself! Throw all your veggies in together — minus the banana dumplings & corn — and let everything cook. Then about 20-30 minutes before you’re ready to serve, add those last 2 ingredients! Just know that some of the root veggies may break down completely that way, but that’ll just give you an even thicker, heartier soup! 🙌🏼🔥 It’s BEST served with white rice & avocado, but you can absolutely eat it by itself too. So good friends!! 🥰 #sancocho #fallrecipes #cozyseason #soupseason #puertoricanfood
