The short answer

Puerto Rico pays in dollars, weighs its beef in pounds and sells McGriddles, and the whole menu is written in Spanish. What that buys you: a McCriollo breakfast sandwich in six versions, breakfast plates built on pan criollo toast, a Bacon Cheddar Signature line in four builds, grilled chicken across four products, two chicken salads and an apple pie that is still fried. The familiar things arrive with Spanish labels: Quarter Pounder Con Queso, Batida de Oreo, Cono de Vainilla, jugo de china.

Puerto Rico is a US territory running a Spanish-language McDonald’s on the Latin American platform, which puts its board in a spot no other market occupies. Ordering is in dollars and the sizes are American ounces, 16, 21 and 30 for a fountain drink. The product list underneath is regional, so the mainland’s burger menu overlaps it without matching it.

Breakfast is where the two halves are easiest to see. Six McCriollo listings, three plates built on toasted pan criollo, a Meat Lovers Special and plain cheese toast sit in the same category as hotcakes, hash browns, McGriddles and a Big Breakfast Deluxe. Other Spanish-language boards in the region localize harder than this one does, El Salvador’s included, with whole categories given over to local snacks. Puerto Rico localizes in a narrower band, mostly at breakfast and mostly in the vocabulary.

One oddity worth flagging before the tables: three products carry a footnote reading exclusive to McDonald’s San Patricio. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich and two of the three Egg Muffins are sold at one restaurant in Guaynabo and nowhere else on the island. I have not seen a single-store carve-out published on a national menu anywhere else in this site’s coverage.

Checked September 11, 2026. The site publishes no prices at all. Everything runs in US dollars and each restaurant sets its own, so the McDonald’s app is the only place to see yours.

The Signature line

Four products, one set of toppings: caramelized onion, creamy mustard, cheese and bacon. The mainland US tried a Signature Crafted range in the late 2010s and dropped it. Puerto Rico kept the idea and ran it across beef and chicken, grilled included.

Item What it is
Bacon Cheddar Bacon Cheddar Quarter-pound patty, caramelized onion, creamy mustard, cheese, bacon. 660 calories.
Bacon Cheddar Double Bacon Cheddar Double Bacon Cheddar Doble Half a pound of beef, 870 calories. The menu says 1/2 libra, in pounds, in Spanish.
Bacon Cheddar Crispy Chicken Bacon Cheddar Crispy Chicken Bacon Cheddar Pollo Crispy The same toppings on a breaded chicken breast.
Bacon Cheddar Grilled Chicken Bacon Cheddar Grilled Chicken Bacon Cheddar Pollo Grilled Grilled chicken, which the mainland US menu no longer offers in any form.

Burgers

Everything a mainland customer would recognize, plus three names they would not.

Item What it is
Big Mac Big Mac Unchanged, 640 calories, described in Spanish down to the pepinillos.
Quarter Pounder with Cheese Quarter Pounder with Cheese Quarter Pounder Con Queso A US pound measure with a Spanish preposition bolted on. The double sits beside it.
Double Grand McBacon Double Grand McBacon A Latin American name, sold here in double and triple. Not on the US board.
Bacon Triple Bacon Triple Three patties, cheese, bacon, onion, ketchup, 700 calories.
McDúo McDúo The value end of the burger list, under a regional name.

Chicken sandwiches

Chicken is split across two menu categories. Sandwiches get their own heading; nuggets, strips, salads and snack wraps live together under pollo.

Item What it is
McCrispy McCrispy The current crispy chicken sandwich, with a Deluxe above it.
McCrispy Bacon Ranch McCrispy Bacon Ranch The premium chicken sandwich across the region’s Spanish-language boards.
McChicken McChicken Same name, same sandwich, cheap end of the list.
Grilled Chicken Sandwich Grilled Chicken Sandwich Grilled breast on a potato roll, 380 calories. Sold only at the San Patricio restaurant.
Crispy Creamy Mustard Snack Wraps Crispy Creamy Mustard Snack Wraps Four wraps here: crispy or grilled, ranch or creamy mustard. The 2025 US relaunch had ranch, spicy habanero and no grilled option.

Breakfast

The site lists two breakfast categories. Desayunos is the full board; desayunos favoritos is a seven-item list of cheaper things that already appear elsewhere, oatmeal and the ham bocadillo and the burrito, an 8oz coffee, a hash brown, and orange and fruit juice at 12oz. Coffee is where the wording goes local: the iced coffees are all described as café colao, the cloth-strained brew Puerto Rican kitchens run on, served black or with milk and syrup.

Item What it is
McCriollo with Bacon McCriollo with Bacon McCriollo Tocineta The island’s own breakfast sandwich, sold with bacon, ham or sausage.
McCriollo Deluxe with Bacon McCriollo Deluxe with Bacon McCriollo Deluxe Tocineta A Deluxe over each of the three, which makes six McCriollo listings.

Meat Lovers Special Meat Lovers Special Pan criollo toast with cheese, egg, sausage, ham and bacon, 580 calories.
Small Breakfast Small Breakfast Scrambled egg and pan criollo toast, 340 calories.

Crispy Chicken Salad Crispy Chicken Salad Chicken, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, bacon, ranch, 710 calories. A grilled version sits beside it.

Desserts

The dessert case is where the vocabulary does the most work. Soft serve is mantecado, a shake is a batida, and the apple pie is fried, which the US pie has not been since 1992.

Item What it is
Golden McFlurry Golden McFlurry A third standing McFlurry under a name the US board doesn’t use.

FAQ

What is a McCriollo?

It’s McDonald’s Puerto Rico’s own breakfast sandwich, sold with bacon, ham or sausage and repeated in a Deluxe version, six listings in total. The name points at pan criollo, the local bread that shows up as toast on the Small Breakfast and Meat Lovers plates. No US menu carries it.

Does McDonald’s Puerto Rico price in dollars?

Yes. Puerto Rico is a US territory, so the whole board runs in US dollars even though it’s written in Spanish, and each restaurant sets its own prices. The corporate site publishes none of them, so the app is the only place to check. Checked September 11, 2026.

What is jugo de china?

Orange juice. China is the Puerto Rican word for an orange, and the menu sells jugo de china in 12, 16 and 21oz, with a separate jugo de frutas in the same three sizes. The smoothie description uses guineo for banana, another word that only works here.

Can you still order a salad?

Yes, two of them: a Crispy Chicken Salad and a Grilled Chicken Salad, both with bacon, shredded cheese, tomato and ranch. McDonald’s took salads off US menus in 2020 and hasn’t restored them nationally, so a mainland customer can order something in San Juan they can’t order at home. Grilled chicken is the same story, alive in four products here.
