Celebrating Dominican Culture with Nayelis Garrido’s Pica Pollo and Tostones! 🇩🇴
For National Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re proud to spotlight the incredible cultures and traditions that make our communities so special. Today, we’re thrilled to feature Nayelis Garrido, one of our amazing administrative assistants, and the delicious Dominican dish she shared—Pica Pollo (fried chicken) with Tostones (fried plantains)!
For Nayelis, Pica Pollo isn’t just a popular meal in the Dominican Republic—it’s filled with memories of her childhood.
“This dish takes me back to my childhood, especially those beach days with my dad. It’s definitely my ultimate comfort food.”
Dominican Pica Pollo is beloved for its crispy, flavorful fried chicken paired with golden Tostones, and we’re so excited to celebrate this tasty tradition with Nayelis. Thank you for sharing a piece of your heritage with us, Nayelis! Your story and food are a reminder of the rich diversity that makes our communities feel like home.
