Puerto Rican cuisine is a blend of African, European and American cuisines with traces of Spanish, French, Italian and Taino influences. Puerto Rican cuisine, known as Cocina Criolla or Creole Cooking, is a mix of several flavours like meat, rice, fruit, seafood, oil and wheat. Soups and stews are widely popular alongside the Puerto Rican style roasted meat.

Deserts like Nisperos de batata are very popular. Puerto Rican coffee is the favourite drink.
