Costa Rican Foooooooood

At request, I have this post about food. I may tease the official dish of Costa Rica is pizza (seriously it is everywhere!) But it is actually Casados. It is a basic dish of Gallo Pinto, a veggie salad, tomatoes, lime, and a meat of your choice (get castillos! It's like bacon on (steroids) depending on the variety you may get more or the rice and beans seporated.

this actually Nicaraguan but look at that goat cheese some may die for mmmmmmm
Mangos come as big as your head

Lots of pipas as they are cheap or free and yummy

fruit fruit fruit Guanabana (Sour sop), Mango, Piña (pineapple), Mamón Chino (rambutan), Jacoté, and Carambola (starfruit) and lots more native fruits every day!

Mostly, I lived on Gallo Pinto and fruit. But there was some amazing foods (like patacones) everyone should eat! Basically ask around and visit Sodas for the best food. You can fill up on a meal for $2- $7 (~1,000 to 3,500 calones) depending on how local oriented it is, it usually fed me for two meals if it was on the higher end but I can't speak for everyone.
