About this dish

A piragua is a Puerto Rican shaved ice dessert, shaped like a cone, consisting of shaved ice and covered with fruit-flavored syrup. Piraguas are sold by vendors, known as piragüeros, from small, traditionally brightly colored pushcarts offering a variety of flavors. Besides Puerto Rico, piraguas can be found in areas of the United States with large Puerto Rican communities, such as New York and Central Florida.
