San Juan has some of the fresh fruits including mounds of sweet mango, bananas, guava and passion fruit. Sometimes the mango and papaya can be exceptionally sweet or lack flavor.

After crisp and mouthwatering lechon (roasted pig), we had a freshly made, pina colada in a proper pineapple bowl. 

The proprietor scooping out the pineapple fruit to make the pina colada mix.

The pina colada was a monstrosity, topped with whip cream, cherries, additional fruit and paper umbrellas. It was made for sharing. To make your own pina colada all you need is  pineapple juice, coconut cream, water, ice and a bit of rum (optional).
