Cerro Las Tetas is located in the municipality of Salinas, not Cayey, but traditionally it's referred to as Las Tetas de Cayey, possibly because the mountain range is called La Sierra de Cayey (which happens to span multiple municipalities).
Food:
After a hard day of climbing, go to Ramonita's Tacos for a cold beer and tacos. A must do! It's in the town of Cayey:

The map pin is for a private property that has a gate locked with a combination lock. Ask one of the local climbers what the code is for the lock.
Hike up the obvious trail for about 10-15 minutes to reach the Right Teta. From there, a trail leads to the Left Teta (you can find more details on its sub-page).
