I love this place. I understand for the lack of items sometimes. This is Puerto Rican food & it takes more time to make than Mexican food. Mexican food is also usually easier to make especially because everything you need to make it is readily available here. Along with that sometimes ingredients are very hard to come by & if you substitute them with something from the Spanish supermarket it will loose all the quality & the flavor. I sometimes will cook Puerto Rican food myself but I have to be selective on what I make because it will taste horrible if you decide to substitute ingredients. Things being in season is also true, sometimes depending on the season, things are harder to come by and the food you want to make is limited. Honestly makes me want to move back east.
