San Juan Cuisine｜Tropical Vibes

📍Piñaloka 📷Before coming to San Juan, I'd been dreaming of drinking pina colada from a real pineapple, and finally made it happen at the food market! ✅Holding a freshly carved pineapple bowl, with coconut milk and fresh pineapple mixed with crushed ice—one sip sent chills straight to my toes. The owner noticed me taking photos and even styled the pineapple leaves for a cute look. 🥙Classic pina colada: coconut milk + pineapple juice + freshly grated nutmeg. For an extra $2, you can switch to a mango smoothie base. Health bowl series: acai base with bee pollen, a must-try for fitness enthusiasts. 📍Location guide: Tucked away in the rainbow container market in Santurce, look for the "Pina Paradise" stall with a yellow flag. It gets busy after 4 p.m., but service is super fast. 💡The vendor says they only make 50 real pineapple bowls per day, and the pineapple pulp is recycled to make jam for the next day. Spend $20 or more on Sundays and get a handmade cup sleeve for free! #SanJuan #RealPineappleCocktail #TropicalVibes #LocalMarket
