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.

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.
