"Lote 23 was meant to be a trendy outdoor food park, one of the first attempts to remake a long-ignored space on the island of Puerto Rico. “We wanted it to be a place where people could enjoy good food in a casual setting,” says Cristina Sumaza, Lote 23’s co-founder, who opened the space in late 2016. The empty lot set among looming condominiums and corporate offices became home to 16 food vendors serving both international and Caribbean food, prepared by some of the island’s most celebrated chefs and rising stars." - ByLigaya Malones
