Went to buy yellow plantains there was a box of black ones. Why would sell that. Some people like them black but this Puerto Rican likes them yellow to fry or boil. Clean store Good prices Plenty of parking.

Rice with pigeon peas, beans, pernil, and a meat dumpling = $19 or so. Very expensive!! Thank God I live in Orlando because the same dish with a dumpling costs $7+!!
