We recently held a BBQ-birthday party for my 5 yr old grandson and we ended up taking requests for what people wanted for food. Since my son in law is Hispanic, his family requested mostly food from their island-Puerto Rico. But his mom personally asked me if I would make this for her. I made it once before, about 6 yrs ago and she loved it. It's a compliment for sure coming from her because she usually sticks with her Hispanic food.
