Oh Sandra, I am so thankful for you. Before hurricane Irma and hurricane Maria you could find multiple pastelillo and alcapurria vendors on Isla verde beach but since the hurricanes there are less people on the beach altogether, less tourists so of course less vendors.
When my husband and I visited this past summer we were so happy to see Sandra at the end of the beach selling her deliciously crispy alcapurrias, pastelillos and more. My favorite is of course alcapurrias de jueyes but she's got a variety to choose from.
There is nothing like eating a fresh, homemade alcapurria on the beach. Sandra's treats are made with love and the warmest smile. If you happen to be in Isla Verde in the weekend, do try any of her yummy snacks. It'll only make your trip to Isla Verde that much more enjoyable and authentic to the food, culture and people of Puerto Rico. read more
