There are no eggs in Coquito
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Mi Gente, If you are going to label your Coquito Puerto Rican make sure you are using the right ingredients. It disturbs me... that a more than affluent network, like Food Network, would get this wrong. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Along with the arroz con gandules, pernil, y pasteles we have the coquito straight from La Isla Del Encanto... and it doesn't contain eggs unless you're making a punch. Read more
