Puerto Rico: an island that tells time through food
In Puerto Rico, every meal is a reflection of history and tradition.
Afro-Caribbean, Spanish, and Taíno influences meet on the family table, shaping a culinary rhythm that captivates both locals and visitors.
At Homlunch, we believe the best way to experience Puerto Rico isn’t in a tourist restaurant but at someone’s home table — where recipes are passed down through generations and served with love.
The 5 Daily Meals in Puerto Rico
-
Breakfast (6:00 – 8:00 a.m.)
Café con leche with mallorcas (sweet buns dusted with powdered sugar), toast, or eggs with ham.
“A day in Puerto Rico doesn’t start without a strong criollo coffee.” — Ricky Martin -
Mid-morning snack (10:00 – 11:30 a.m.)
Pastelillos, alcapurrias, or bacalaítos — fried favorites enjoyed both on the street and at home. -
Lunch (12:30 – 2:00 p.m.)
The main meal of the day: rice with beans, chicken stew, shredded beef, or the iconic mofongo with meat or seafood. -
Afternoon snack (4:00 – 5:00 p.m.)
Empanadillas, sorullitos de maíz, quesitos, or simply a strong coffee with pan sobao. -
Dinner (7:00 – 9:00 p.m.)
Often lighter but flavorful, ranging from comforting asopao (shrimp or chicken stew) to a mofongo stuffed with savory fillings.
What makes Homlunch different
Homlunch is not delivery.
Homlunch is not fast food.
It’s about sitting at someone else’s table, tasting authentic recipes, and discovering the stories behind each dish.
Because a criollo breakfast served in a local home feels different when shared with culture and tradition.
