My name is John Irizarry. I've lived in Dallas, TX most of my life. I'm Puerto Rican, and was raised in NYC. Growing up my mother made my favorite dishes of pernil, arroz con gandules, paella, carne mechada, and my favorite:TOSTONES.
Since she's past away, and I moved to Texas I've had very few opportunities to eat my ethnic food. For the past few months I've noticed your website when I searched for tostoneras, and fell in love with your product.
Your website was on the top of the list which promted me to look at your YouTube demonstrations. When I saw you can make relleno cups with your machine I had to have one.
This is my Christmas gift to myself so I won't be so homesick.
You cannot buy a tostonera here in Texas anywhere. I've looked at other similar products, but yours by far looks the best and is presented most professionaly.

. . . The Tostobueno® breaths new life to the old tradition of "Noche Buena" for a Moorestown, NJ family.
From Diana McGraw
I bought your tostonera because I have decided to start a new family tradition (married family that is) and celebrate 'Noche Buena' like I used to growing up in Puerto Rico.
My brother, who is in the Navy, and I are the only ones close enough to celebrate together, and we miss it (him especially) so I decided that I would introduce my 'new' family and friends to the wonderful world of Puerto Rican food while also doing something special for my brother.
I also want my baby girls to be familiar with their
Latina side and what better way than with food?
Latina side and what better way than with food?
I was on a few websites looking for recipes and I decided to make tostones rellenos instead of regular tostones and when I GOOGLED tostones rellenos, the first couple of listings were video clips with your Chef [Chef DonClark] doing demos. [LIKE THE ONE BELOW] I was immediately intrigued because I wasn't relishing the idea of pressing each toston individually and seeing the multiple presses really got me.
I immediately GOOGLED Tostobueno® and your website came up. Seeing that you had a multiple press was the cincher - my order was placed 5 minutes later.
I didn't even bother looking anywhere else.
I hope this was helpful and I'm sorry I ranted on. Happy Holidays!
EDITORS NOTE: These are the kind of rants that we LOVE!
