To honor Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month, Three One Six will feature a tostones special, served with guacamole and salsa rosada (a traditional blend of mayo and ketchup).
Tostones are twice-fried plantain slices that are a staple in Puerto Rican cuisine, known for their crispy texture and savory flavor. Tostones are specifically made from green plantains — similar to bananas, but starchier. Unlike sweet plantains, green plantains are not ripe, which give tostones their signature taste and firm texture. They are often served as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. Tostones are enjoyed throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, but they hold a distinctive place in Puerto Rican culinary tradition. In Puerto Rico, they are more than just food — they represent a traditional, home-cooked comfort dish that is a part of everyday life and festive gatherings. Making tostones at home is often considered a family activity, especially in coastal and rural areas where fresh plantains are widely available.
The tostones special will be available through the end of Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month (October 15), so be sure to celebrate with this culinary classic! https://www.brookviewthreeonesix.com/
