Each city guide carries the same food picks at city granularity, plus cost, climate, FIRE math, and visa context.
Uber Eats is the Nomada editorial pick for Puerto Rico — chosen on regional coverage, foreign-card friendliness, and how often the restaurants you'd actually order from are listed. The other 1 apps below are useful as fallbacks or for specific use cases.
Most do, but it varies by issuer. Apple Pay and Google Pay usually work when a card-on-file fails. Cash on delivery is a reliable fallback in markets where it's offered. If your foreign card is rejected, try a different network (Visa vs Mastercard vs Amex) or use a multi-currency card like Wise or Revolut.
Tipping norms vary widely. US, Canada, parts of Latin America, and the UAE expect 10-20%; most of Asia and continental Europe treat tipping as optional or symbolic. Apps often default to a percentage tip — check the value before checkout if you'd rather not over- or under-tip relative to local custom.
This list focuses on apps that operate at meaningful scale in Puerto Rico and that have a usable foreign-friendly path (English UI, broad card acceptance). Hyperlocal apps, Chinese-only platforms, and apps that pulled out of the market in the last 12-24 months are deliberately excluded. If you think we're missing one, the list is re-evaluated quarterly.
