Cuisine
One of the pleasures of traveling is experiencing the delightful variety of local cuisine. Most Costa Rican cuisine originates in the country’s Indian roots and is similar to what you’d find in many Central American countries.
Entrées are often based on rice, black beans, corn, and beef, chicken or fish. Fresh, locally grown fruit such as bananas, mangoes, pineapples and avocados is usually delicious. Traditional desserts include custards, puddings and simple cakes. Locally grown coffee is served very strong and black, though it may be served with hot milk upon request.
