Must-Visit Food Trucks In Puerto Rico

Over the last couple of years, food trucks have become a popular dining option on the island of Puerto Rico. The food truck boom has been influenced by the troubles in the Puerto Rican economy, which has led to customers looking for affordable yet tasty food options. A variety of food is available, as the trucks serve some traditional dishes, but also look to innovate. Here are the food trucks in Puerto Rico that you can’t afford to miss.

El Lobo Guavate Urbano

Since 2015, El Lobo has been located near Old San Juan in the Puerta de Tierra area. Open Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 11am to 10pm, Thursday from 11am to 11pm, and Friday and Saturday from 11am to 2am, this spot has a great view of the water. They describe themselves as “a food truck specializing in Puerto Rican-style roasted pig, cooked and braised on a stick, and typical Puerto Rican food.” Other menu items include empanadillas, amarillos, and beef alcapurrias.
