Pinchos, or pinchos de carne, are a beloved street food in Puerto Rico, inspired by the Spanish tradition of skewered meats but infused with vibrant Caribbean flavors. These kabobs typically feature marinated pork (pinchos de cerdo) or chicken (pinchos de pollo), cubed and grilled to perfection over an open flame or grill. The marinade often includes Adobo and Sazón seasonings, staples of Puerto Rican cuisine, which lend a savory, aromatic depth. Served with a side of bread, sauce, or simply on their own, pinchos are a quick, flavorful bite enjoyed at roadside stands, festivals, and family gatherings.
