CROCANTE RESTAURANT – Restaurant

Crocante means crispy, and chef Yamuel Bigio builds an entire Puerto Rican card around the idea on East Colonial Drive. Rotisserie porchetta is the signature, carved from leg or loin and belly, with pork belly chicharron and kan kan frita close behind. Mofongo comes stuffed with churrasco, camarones, bistec encebollado or pollo, alongside asopao de camarones, sancocho, carne guisada, arroz con gandules and whole roasted chillo. Starters run to alcapurrias, sorrullitos, bacalaito tacos and bistec eggrolls. Desserts mean tembleque, guava cheesecake, flancocho brulee and budin. There is a private room, a catering arm, and a truck the kitchen sends out.
