Travel Tip: National dishes of Costa Rica

4 stars
Published on Mar 13, 2008 by anja78 for Costa Rica

If you are going to Costa Rica there are two main dishes you are unlikely not to sample during your stay. First, there is "Gallo Pinto", which is usually served for breakfast. It's a dish made up of fried rice and beans and it is often served with eggs. The qualitiy varies. Sometimes I found it was prepared in too much (probably old) fat, and on other occasions it was delicious. For lunch or dinner add cabbage and tomato salad, fried plantain, sometimes potato and meat and you get "Casado". Another very common dish is "Arroz con Pollo" (Rice with Chicken), which, though very basic, quickly became one of my favorite.
