Los Boricuas (CMLL)
''Los Boricuas'' (Spanish for the Puerto Ricans) was a Mexican '' Lucha Libre'' (Professional wrestling) stable or group in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), one of Mexico's largest and the world's oldest professional wrestling promotions.

The group was founded and led by Pierroth in 2000 and was together until the end of 2003 where it disbanded. In 2013 CMLL brought the concept back when they announced that a new Comandante Pierroth was putting together a new group of Boricuas, known as ''Comando Caribeño'' ("The Caribbean Commando").
