Check out these roadside chicken stands. They brine the chicken and season with a rub, lots of garlic and cumin. Slow roasted on a rotiserre over lump charcoal. Good stuff. They do 10-12 chickens on each spit and on a busy day may have 5 ot 6 spits going at a time. And they sell out by mid afternoon. This located in the southwest area of the island. The pictures are in a little town named Guanica, (it's where the US troops landed at the end of the Spanish American War).
Another great food item is the roast pig, or lechon, served in lechonera's along with fried pork skin (chicharrons), fried pastry turnovers, fried balls of mashed plantains with pork or sausage emmbeded.
If you ever get to Puerto Rico get out of San Juan and see the country villages and towns. I was told that the north coast has roadside stands that sell fried food , but it is different than what they have in the south. I didn't get a chance to try that , but the chickens or pollo al carbon along the road in the south is great.
