Pinchos de Cerdo

Pinchos de cerdo are a popular street food found all over Puerto Rico. Skewers of marinated pork are grilled over an open flame then brushed with garlic olive oil and bbq sauce. What is great about these meat showers is that they take less than 10 minutes to grill. If you happen to not have a grill, the pinchos can be broiled for the same amount of time.
