Delicious and cheap food in Costa Rica

In the 17 days we spent in Costa Rica, we had the opportunity to taste the national dishes. This also does not take too long, because that is the same for breakfast, lunch and dinner here .... mostly rice and beans ...

Gallo Pinto, das Landesgericht

The most famous dish in Costa Rica consists of prepared the day before rice with red beans. Both ingredients with the addition of some spices fried with a little oil in a pan and then together with other side dishes such as scrambled eggs and / or bananas (below) served.

Ceviche – Roher Fisch als Suhsi-Alternative

When Ceviche is a seafood dish that has its origins actually in countries such as Peru, but has been transformed in Costa Rica to a food that is offered almost everywhere.

Kochbananen

At virtually every dish in Costa Rica are served as a side dish plantains.

The second method of preparation is also part of almost every meal. Here the bananas are roasted in the oven on both sides, added a little oil or butter and then cut lengthwise according to taste and add cheese. Above all, this version is for breakfast very popular.

Otherwise, we also eat a lot of fried or deep-fried fish eaten as here, the fajitas into strips.

Since it is mainly consumed in Costa Rica, what is grown in their own country, there is the typical food stalls, the "soda" rather little varied dishes as above.

Aber natürlich gibt es fast überall auch internationale Restaurants mit Essen aus aller Welt, wobei man hier tiefer in die Tasche greifen muss. Während man in Sodas für ca. 5 Euro ein Hauptgericht bekommt, muss man dafür in einem Restaurant fast das doppelte einrechnen.

Are very popular in Costa Rica and the fresh fruit juices and milkshakes which are available everywhere for about 2 euros. You fit especially in the hot months to excellent salads.

Even though we are now a long time no rice to eat more beans, tasted it to us anyway in Costa Rica!
