In Camuy, a small food stand called Al Chinchofrito de David has gained popularity for its unique bacalaíto in the shape of a gingerbread man. The stand's owners, Andrés David Pérez and his wife Zaida González, use special ingredients and a personal touch to make their fritters, which have crispy edges and a soft, filled interior.
We want you to feel good, that you've paid for something and eaten something you really liked.
The stand also offers other delicacies like alcapurrias, which are never frozen and filled with meat, corned beef, or crab. The owners strive to make their customers feel welcome and satisfied, with Andrés David saying 'We want you to feel good, that you've paid for something and eaten something you really liked.' The stand has become a sensation, with people coming from all over the island and even the United States to try their food.
The owners have also introduced new items to their menu, such as sancocho with rice and bacon, which has become a hit. The stand is open on Good Friday, offering alternatives to meat for those who abstain from it for religious reasons.
