Sifnos, Greece: Local 'pizzas'. Similar to a 'seasoned Focaccia', more than what most are used to.

Guavate, Puerto Rico (outside of San Juan):

lechón asado- roasted whole pigs.

Yucca with garlic mojo

Sat & Sun - dancing, salsa bands

lechónerías - El Rancho Original

Heladería de Lares - Ice Cream (Helados) - supposedly 500 flavours here. The coconut cinnamon would probably be good.
An hour west of San Juan, Route 129 into Lares, in the town's central square.

It's been largely toned-down so far, as far as many of the stranger dishes go. No descriptions of what eating eyeballs is like that I've noticed.

The odd dish is mentioned every chapter or so, but many of the recipes actually sound quite good. Perhaps due to Zimmerns' obvious enjoyment in his descriptions.
