Types of food in Nicaragua
Queso Frito
Queso Frito
I remember when entering Nicaragua I saw queso frito for the first time. Essentially, it’s just a slice of cheese that’s been deep fried. They usually sell for between 10 – 20 Cordobas. Not a great price for the amount of cheese you actually get but quite tasty. -Sam Langley from Cubicle Ditcher

LinkNicaraguan food is pretty similar to Costa Rican. Gallo pinto (rice and beans) is a sure bet. You can also try nacatamales.

LinkI lost about 10-15 pounds while traveling through Nicaragua for two months. The food wasn’t bad, but I never found it to be that desirable that I’d eat more than I really needed. Most of my food money went toward buying Tang, water, salted lime peanuts and Flor de Cana rum. This was good for both my budget and my waistline. That being said, I found the seafood (specifically fresh-caught lobster) on Little Corn Island to be delicious, Nicaraguan chicken in general was VERY flavorful, I loved nacatamales and the food prepared at La Posada Sonada in Miraflor was out of this world. I certainly wouldn’t label the country as being a culinary mecca, but I found the fruit and vegetables available to be top notch.
