Eating the NATIONAL DISH of NICARAGUA!! Gallo Pinto + Ferry Ride to Ometepe in Rivas, Nicaragua!!

????????VISIT NICARAGUA:
????????CARLOS:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

With another adventure ahead of me in a new region of Nicaragua, I set off bright and early for Puerto San Jorge in Rivas, Nicaragua to begin my journey to Ometepe, a large island in Lake Nicaragua that’s home to twin volcanoes! Come with me as I have an amazing gallo pinto breakfast and ride the ferry to Ometepe, Nicaragua!

Ometepe is the largest island in a freshwater lake in the world! My guide Carlos from Visit Nicaragua and I would be taking our car on the ferry to Ometepe. The ride takes about 90 minutes, but you have to book your spot on the ferry in advance. But before we headed off to the island, we had to get breakfast!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

We headed to El Jarolito, a traditional bar and restaurant at the port. There, we’d get some gallo pinto and eggs! I love the red beans in gallo pinto. The sunny-side up eggs and white cheese, with it would be fantastic!

I added the thick cream on top of the gallo pinto, which was fantastic. The white cheese was almost like manchego and was really dense. I loved the combination with the rice, red beans, cheese, cream, and eggs.

It was a simple breakfast, but so good! Then, I added the gallo pinto on top of some local bread with the cheese. It was an amazing gallo pinto sandwich. It’s the perfect thing to eat before a long day of work. At 290 cordobas/$8 USD, it was a nice, affordable breakfast.

Outside, we saw some street food vendors selling mangoes and nesperos. Then, along the water, there were some small huts that sell street food. And there were a lot of people enjoying the beach!

We saw a man building a hut, as well as another man selling snow cones and vendors selling quesillos! There was even a large, fake horse you could rake pictures on. The beach was amazing! I was the only tourist.

I went back to get some mango for the ferry ride. It cost 82.50 Cordobas to get a permit to take the car on the ferry, and another 700 to take the car, plus another 50 per person.

The ferry was really small and only fits maybe seven or eight cars. After a few cars and bikes on, it was super tight! We headed up to the deck to enjoy the views. They told me it would take about 70 minutes.

The breeze at the front of the ferry was amazing. Then, the captain let me take the wheel and drive for a bit!

Finally, we arrived at the island of Ometepe. I could see both of the island’s volcanoes as we arrived. I had 24 hours to explore the island, and I couldn’t wait to get started!

Las Cortezas de Masaya | De Paseo en Nicaragua | País en Centroamérica | Un paseo por Nicaragua

#DePaseoEnNicaragua #LasCortezas #Masaya #Nicaragua #CentroAmerica #PaisEnCentroamerica #Managua #GranTurismo #Turismo #Trips #Paseo #Viajes #DeViaje

Los invito a dar un paseo por Nicaragua, hoy, los llevaré hasta las comarcas Las Cortezas en Masaya en tan sólo diez minutos.

Las Cortezas es una Comarca del departamento y municipio de Masaya, ubicada a unos 42 kilómetros de Managua la capital de Nicaragua, a unos 45 minutos de viaje en vehículo propio, pero en bus, a unos 90 minutos, mientras viajamos podemos disfrutar del paisaje.

Actualmente, el costo del viaje es de C$20. Córdobas, C$40. Córdobas ida y regreso; pero, C$45. Córdobas desde Managua y C$95. Córdobas ida y regreso desde Managua.

Los habitantes de estás comarcas son bien trabajadores y productivos, pero necesitan el apoyo de las autoridades de Nicaragua.

La comarca Las Cortezas está un poco abandonada por las autoridades municipales, departamentales y gobierno central.

No hay Centro de Salud, delegación de Policía Nacional ni del Ejército de Nicaragua.

No hay Instituto de Educación Secundaria, hospital, parque de diversión para niños y niñas.

Los pobladores necesitan un mejor servicio de agua potable, porque el que hay sólo echan el agua por las noches como que los usuarios fuesen vampiros.

Los estudiantes necesitan un instituto de educación secundaria, biblioteca.

Todos necesitan un mejor servicio de comunicación telefónica, internet, porque aquí no hay antenas. La gente necesita comunicarse.

Necesitan una mejor estructura vial, mejores condiciones, una carretera digna. Los estudiantes exponen sus vidas, porque en invierno el camino es el cauce de una corriente fuerte que se inunda.

Hago un llamado a las Autoridades de Nicaragua: municipales, departamentales y gobierno central para que tomen en cuenta a los habitantes de Las Cortezas y les ayuden.

Espero les agrade. Ayúdenme a compartir este video, por favor.

Y muchas gracias por tu apoyo, suscribite a mi Canal para ayudar a nuestro prójimo.

Gracias. Un fuerte apretón de manos y un abrazo grande, de oso. Bendiciones.

Nicaragua, Nicaraguita

7 a.m. NICARAGUAN STREET FOOD Breakfast Tour in Rivas, Nicaragua!!

????????VISIT NICARAGUA:
????????CARLOS:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

After arriving back in Rivas after an unforgettable 24 hours on the island of Ometepe, I continued my exploration with a food tour! Come with me as I go on a Nicaraguan breakfast street food tour of Rivas, Nicaragua!

My friend and guide Carlos and I started off at a vendor selling the Levanta Muerto soup, which they say raises you from the dead! It’s the kind of dish that would be an incredible hangover cure. But you should get there early, as the woman is there every day starting at 6 a.m.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

I got a large cup of it. It was fantastic! I loved the seafood broth, and there was a lot of meat in there, too. I asked for more chilies to make it spicier. The cabbage in it was very nice. You can also get it with a tortilla and dunk it into the soup. Finally, I pulled out the lobster tail and ate it with the tortilla soaked in the broth. I loved it!

Then, I got some fresh orange juice from a vendor. I always prefer fresh juice over juice out of a bottle or a can. It’s pure when it’s fresh, and hasn’t been loaded down with sugar or preservatives. The pulp was fantastic!

Then, I got some instant coffee from another vendor for 10 cordobas. It was great! I like my coffee black. It’s not good coffee if it needs sugar and milk! What a way to start our day. We woke up at 4:15 a.m. to catch the ferry at 5:30, and it was now 7 a.m.!

We drove through the city to a place where they sell nacatamales, which they cook in a barrel over a fire. They wrap them in banana leaves and then aluminum foil. They’re essentially steamed corn stuffed with a nice amount of pork. They’re very similar to the tamales in Venezuela!

In the south of Nicaragua, they eat nacatamales with bread, and in the north, they eat them with tortillas. The bread was nice and fresh. I loved stuffing it into the tortillas like a little taco! I preferred it with the tortilla more, but both were good!

The pork was super flavorful. Then, they brought me a spicy chili, which I wrapped in the tortilla with the tamal. It was really hot! I enjoyed it with some Nicaraguan drip coffee. Everything cost 120 cordobas!

Then, we headed to a factory to see them make rosquillas. They had an oven with a blazing fire. The rosquillas are small cookies made of corn and cheese dough. They smelled so buttery as they baked! They take them out and bake them again to make them crispy.

Then, they put sugar on top. They were crunchy, sweet, toasted, and buttery! I liked them a lot. I tried a whole sheet of them. There were some salty ones, too! The originals are saltier, while the Sandals are sweeter. They can fit 12 huge pans in their oven!

The women work from 3 a.m. until 1 p.m. It was amazing to see the entire process! Then, before we left, we saw the torta de maiz, which they served to us along with the two types of rosquilla.

The torta de maiz was an incredible loaf of cornbread. It was some of the best cornbread of my life! I loved how sweet, fluffy, and crunchy it was! We also had pañalitas, spicy chili rosquillas, coffee, and the original salty rosquillas. They were great with the coffee, and a great way to end our morning!

Epic NICARAGUAN STREET FOOD & Seafood Tour of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua!!

????????VISIT NICARAGUA:
????????CARLOS:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

After spending my morning in Rivas, I headed off to San Juan de Sur. Come with me as I enjoy some Nicaraguan street food and enjoy the sights and sounds of San Juan de Sur, Nicaragua!

San Juan de Sur is a beach paradise in southern Nicaragua. It’s just 50 kilometers from the Costa Rican border. It’s beautiful, and it isn’t too touristy. There are lots of locals and street food vendors.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

We saw vendors selling elote, sunglasses, and more. I tried on some sunglasses and bought them for 250 Cordobas/roughly $8 USD. Another guy sold personalized keychains. They cost roughly $1.20 each.

Then, we found a vendor selling fried plantains called tajadas. They were a crunchy, light snack, and were very delicious! They’re crispy because they’re so thin!

From there, my guide Carlos from Visit Nicaragua and I followed the boardwalk, which turns into a restaurant strip with some vendors mixed in.

I met a vendor selling some beautiful wood-carved souvenirs, including turtle keychains. I bought one and then played a street game before heading to El Buen Gusto, a gorgeous open-air restaurant on the beach with high ceilings.

In the kitchen, I watched them fry fish and chicken wings. They batter the red snapper in corn flour. They also sell shrimp cocktail with tajadas. They serve the fish whole with tostones, rice, and tajadas.

The shrimp cocktail was fresh and succulent, and came in a nice tomato sauce. It was a little spicy!

The view we had from the restaurant was amazing. We were looking out over the beach. I loved it. There were hotels and restaurants in the area. We could also see a large Christ statue atop a hill across the water!

Then, we put some salsa on top of the snapper. I loved the head, which was so full of meat. The eyes, especially, are really good. The meat was really sweet and extremely tasty!

The tostones were also really nice with the salsa and a bit of the fish. It was a marriage made in heaven! Then, we flipped the fish over and added salsa to it, too!

There was so much meat in the fish, it was unreal! There are lots of great beaches in Nicaragua, including some amazing ones for surfing!

After eating, we explored more. We passed vendors selling ceramics, hats, pupusas, sunglasses, and even paintings! The paintings were amazing and super colorful.

I could see paintings of Marilyn Monroe, sunsets, landscapes, and even some sea turtles! Further on, we found a guy selling swimwear and another selling large Panama hats!

Then, after seeing a large sculpture of a sea turtle, we drove through some wealthy neighborhoods to Jesús de la Divina Misericordia statue. After 10 minutes, we arrived and climbed some steps to the top.

It costs 36 Cordobas/$1 USD for locals and 72 Cordobas/$2 USD for foreigners to visit. The view of the Pacific coast is amazing from there. There’s a balcony that looks over the entire bay and city. It’s stunning!

There’s a platform a little higher up around the base of the statue. The view is unparalleled!

The Ultimate FRITANGA TOUR in Managua!! Carne Asada, Fried Cheese & Spicy Smoothie in Nicaragua!!

????????CARLOS:
????????VISITA NICARAGUA:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

After nearly 15 years of traveling the world, I’ve made it to my 88th country, Nicaragua! After landing just minutes earlier, I headed out that evening for an incredible street food experience. Come with me on the ultimate fritanga tour in Managua, Nicaragua!

Fritanga is essentially various street foods: grilled chicken, pork, fried tacos, fried cheese, carne asada, and more! I’d be exploring it all with my friend and guide Carlos, who’d be with me for my entire trip!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Our first stop was Restaurant The Cousins, where they were grilling chicken, pork, and beef on an outdoor grill. Inside, they had meat and potatoes, chicken with jalapenos and cream, carne asada, valencia rice, BBQ ribs, tongue with salsa, pinched pig (pig with vegetable sauce), rice with shrimp, fried enchiladas, fried tacos, gallo pinto, and more!

Everything looked and smelled amazing. They let me try a cup of a cacao drink. It was pure, and similar to a drink I’d tried before.

Then, I dove into a dish with fried plantains with cabbage salad, fried white cheese, and sweet maduro. They brought me chiles, too. It was hot!

At our table, we had gallo pinto, carne asada, tajadas con queso, and enchilada frita. The enchilada was huge and packed with rice and meat! I loved it with the spicy sauce!

The carne asada with the cabbage and salsa was smoky and crunchy with the perfect amount of heat. The pollo asado (grilled chicken) had a nice char on it. The gallo pinto was unreal, too! It was really special—the best I’ve ever had!

The fried cheese with the carne asada was amazing. I also loved the way the gallo pinto was fried. It would go very well with scrambled eggs!

Next was the carne de cerdo a la parrilla (grilled pork) with chimichurri and pan de achiote on top. The pan de achiote gave it a vibrant, reddish color. It was very tender but charred on the outside. I loved the chimichurri. I loved the fat on it!

From there, we saw a guy grilling carne asada outside over charcoal. He grills all day long! Then, we drove to the Colonia Centro America neighborhood. The street is lined with fritanga spots!

We stopped at Fritanga Nica, where I got a taco in a bag (quesillo en bolsa) with cheese, onions, salad, ketchup, cream, chilies. You mix it up and eat it straight out of the bag, the way the Nicaraguan people do! It was so packed with flavor. I loved the cabbage, cream, and ketchup mixture!

At Asados don Mincho, we met a woman grilling chicken, gallo pinto, and meat. Their gallo pinto is red because they use red beans instead of black. She also had a fried banana that she grilled.

The torta de maduro was a sweet plantain empanada stuffed with cheese and cabbage salad on top. It came with a grilled hot dog. The sweetness of the plantain, savory cheese, and spicy sauce were fantastic together! It reminded me of a Venezuelan cachapa.

The people here were so nice! Everyone so far had comped me. Our next stop was Freaking Frozen, where I’d get a chili smoothie! In the back, they made mango smoothies and other flavors. Mine would be spicy!

We got a spicy mango smoothie, hoctada (with a sour, meaty fruit like cherries). The hocada was spicy, sweet, and salty. The mango was made of green mango, and was a little sour and bitter, and was like a spicy fruit cocktail.

The granizado de limonada was my favorite! It was essentially ice and lemon!

Exotic NICARAGUAN STREET FOOD!! Mercado Municipal Tour in Granada, Nicaragua!!

????????VISIT NICARAGUA:
????????CARLOS:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

My time in Granada, Nicaragua continued with a tour of its Central Market! Come with me as I try lots of Nicaraguan street food in the Granada Central Market!

My guide Carlos and I made our way down the tight, congested lanes of the market. There were cars, motorcycles, and buses, along with pedestrians!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

We stopped at a vendor selling lots of dairy, including a delicious manchego-like cheese. We also tried some cheese that had vegetables in it and a yogurt drink.

Next, we had some Granada-style frito, or fried pork or pork rinds. It was crunchy and very oily and fatty. It was also a little hard but tasty!

There was also some Granada fried pork. It was a lot better than the pork rinds and super juicy and meaty!

There was so much activity in the market, from horses to vendors selling pinatas and clothes. Inside the covered section were lots of clothing vendors.

We saw some massive, whole chicharrones and another woman selling chancho con yuca, a dish made with marinated pork, yucca, and cabbage with membro.

I loved the creamy, salty sauce on the pork, the pickles, and the crunchy cabbage. The boiled yuca was fantastic, and I loved the marinated pork. It wasn’t too spicy either!

It tasted almost like a wheatgrass and felt super healthy even though they’d added sugar to it. Then, we found a vendor selling pinol de iguana, which is a corn stew containing iguana meat, onions, and egg!

It was a delicious corn stew, similar to watery grits. I loved the caramelized onions and the fat from the iguana meat. The rib meat was really nice! I sat down with the vendor and had a conversation with her while I ate!

The iguana meat contained lots of bones, though. The ribs were really small. I drank the rest of the stew to finish it off.

The woman starts cooking at 2 a.m., sets up at 6 a.m., and by 8:30, she had sold out for the day! I got one of her last bowls! It only cost 70 cordobas/$1.95 USD.

Nearby were spice vendors selling cloves, cinnamon sticks, hibiscus, achiote, and more. We continued on past sponge vendors to one selling candied fruit called almibar. She had mango, papaya, and hocote. It’s a traditional food eaten during Easter!

It was extremely sweet and covered in something like a jelly or a marmalade. I loved how delicious the papaya and mango were. They were like pure sugar! The papaya was my favorite! It costs 30 cordoba/roughly $1 USD for a bag.

We continued on past produce, rice, and bean vendors and found an antique barber shop. I wanted to get a mustache trim so it wouldn’t get in my food anymore!

My guy also cleaned up the lining on my beard, which I was letting grow out! It cost 50 cordobas/$1.39 USD! Next, they cleaned up Carlos’ mustache!

Next was leche agria, a thick yogurt drink. They added a bit of salt, and you eat it with some thin tortilla, slightly crispy! It was a nice balance.

We saw vendors selling Nica rice and red beans and went back outside. The outdoor vendors sold home goods, clothes, hocotes, bananas, mangoes, melon, and more.

There were some making tortillas rellenos stuffed with rice and meat. They stuff it, batter it, and fry it!

The meat was fantastic by itself, but the stuffed tortilla with cabbage on top was almost like a tosta. I loved it! It was the perfect street food!

We finished up with some cheese with chilies in it!

Mercado de Artesanías, Masaya, Nicaragua

En la ciudad de Masaya se encuentran distintos destinos turísticos y culturales, pero uno de los más conocidos e importantes es el Mercado de Artesanías, un lugar donde se pueden conseguir recuerdos artesanales, además disfrutar de espectáculos de danza tradicional, visitar el museo del folklore y cenar en los diversos restaurantes. 

Este establecimiento cuenta con una extensión de 86m de largo y 100m de ancho, y puede considerarse como el más antiguo del país. Declarado como Mercado Nacional de Artesanías, por el Instituto Nicaragüense de Turismo (INTUR). 

La historia detrás de esta construcción es admirable, comenzando con la dirección de los ingenieros William Claime y Gil Pimentel por 34 años iniciando desde 1888, lo que luego pasó a manos de Nicaragua Sugar, lo cual benefició a la municipalidad convirtiéndose así en dueños del Mercado de Masaya.

Al llegar el año 1992 el Ministerio de Turismo toma la decisión de reconstruir y reforzar el lugar. Inaugurando el 26 de Mayo de 1997 y en el mismo año abriendo la segunda etapa de módulos agregando cuarenta y dando un total de ochenta módulos para expo-venta de productos artesanales de la nación.

Wild NICARAGUAN STREET FOOD in Masaya Market!! Making Almíbar in Masaya, Nicaragua!!

????????VISIT NICARAGUA:
????????CARLOS:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

My road trip through the amazing country of Nicaragua continued in the city of Masaya, where I’d get to visit a local market. Come with me as I explore Masaya Market and try some Nicaraguan sweets!

These sweets, called almíbar, are traditionally made for the week of Easter Sunday. I’d tried this sweet, which is basically candied fruit, at the Municipal Market in Granada earlier that morning. It’s sticky, super sweet, and very tasty!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

My guide Carlos from Visita Nicaragua and I entered the facility at Freddy Chavez dulceria, where they had a ton of different ingredients set up. I could see mango, coconut, papaya, jocote, and more.

First, they boil the fruit to kill any microbes, and then they mix it with sugar. It’s scorching inside the facility from the fire.

They mixed the fruit in a large pot along with blocks of sugar and spices, before they let it slow cook for 4-5 hours. Once it’s done, it becomes a condensed sugary fruit marmalade!

It’s thick and saccharine, and I liked that I could taste the flavors of all the different fruits. I liked it a lot. It was an excess of sweetness. It’s perfect if you have a sweet tooth. The papaya was my favorite because it was so meaty!

They were so nice! They gifted us an entire pan of almíbar before we left! It was so hot inside that Carlos poured a bottle of cold water over my head to cool me off.

Then, we headed to Masaya Market, which is one of the largest in Nicaragua. It’s not a touristy area, but there are a ton of craft vendors there selling unique things including masks.

It’s a must-visit when you drive from Managua to Granada and is the best place to buy souvenirs. I could see woven baskets, wooden toy cars and trucks, dolls, guitars, figurines, and more.

Then, I found some masks. They were really cool and colorful! I saw some nice, traditional ones but wanted to explore the whole market and then come back for them.

Further on, we saw vendors selling crackers called rosquillas, cerdo con yuca (pork with yucca), and chicharron. We also saw a shop selling shoes made in Masaya, including lots of leather sandals.

I wanted to get some for my daughters and then tried on some for myself, but it was a little too big. They gave me a discount! I also saw some cute dresses for my daughters and niece for 750 cordobas, or roughly $22 USD.

They also had some awesome great jerseys and shirts. I loved the dolls, and I also saw some incredible, beautiful belts and leather wallets and coin purses. The wallets were only $10 USD.

Next, we saw a woman who had butchered a whole pig. She had some massive pieces of fried chicharron, which were crunchy but still soft enough to enjoy. I also tried some moronga, or blood sausage!

The blood sausage was soft and grainy but also had a sweetness to the iron-rich flavor. I loved it! It was the best one I’d had in the country so far! I couldn’t stop eating it!

Further on, we saw spicy sausages and a pork organ dish called chanfaina! The heart in the salsa was so good! It was so dense and packed with iron. I loved it!

As we continued, we also saw a barber shop, kitchenware, pinatas, and more. After some refreshing orange juice in a bag, we headed back to buy some masks!

They had some nice animal ones, as well as some traditional ones. I got some horses for myself and a few more as gifts. They cost 1,750 cordoba, or about $50 for five.

Nicaraguan STREET FOOD in the LARGEST MARKET in CENTRAL AMERICA!!

???????? VISIT NICARAGUA:
???????? CARLOS:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

My final morning in Nicaragua began in the city’s Oriental Market! Come along with me as I explore the largest market in Central America!

The Oriental Market in Managua is the largest market in all of Central America. It covers 135 city blocks, and the vendors sell everything you could possibly want—food, clothing, souvenirs, household items, spices, and much more! They say if you can’t find it here, you can’t find it anywhere on Earth!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

My friend and guide Carlos from Visit Nicaragua started by looking for some breakfast. We found a woman selling quesillos en bolsa. You eat them right out of the bag! She filled them with onions, cream, and cheese. The cheese was so fresh and tasty!

Then, you tie the bag, mix everything inside, and bite a hole in the corner of the bag. From there, you suck the mixture out through the hole! The mixture of onions, spices, and cream is incredible. This is one of my top three favorite dishes in Nicaragua!

Then, I washed my hands and paid 100 Cordobas. Then, we headed through the market to a spot to get some baho. Along the way, I tried some mangoes from a vendor who puts salt and chilies on them. They weren’t ripe, but they were still great!

Further on, we reached the covered part of the market, where we found massagers, backpacks, dresses, and more. I bought a massager for 150 cordobas. There were hundreds of clothing venders everywhere! We got two coffees from a guy with a cart for 12 Cordobas.

The coffee was super hot but woke me up. It was the perfect thing to wake me up. Later, we saw some sandals and crocs before continuing on to the baho vendor! The woman make the dish outside and then you eat inside!

The baho contains calf chest, yuca, sweet plantains, and tomatoes, and is topped with crunchy cabbage. The meat was so tasty and tender from the steaming process.

I loved the flavor from the fat! It cost 130 Cordobas total. It was another of my favorite dishes in Nicaragua! We saw vendors selling lots of baseball caps, including ones for American sporting teams and even Batman!

Then, we found lots of stuff for parties, like candy, pints, balloons, dolls, and more. It was an entire section for kids’ birthday parties! Further on were pharmaceuticals like medicines and masks. We bought some aqua en bolsa for 6 cordobas each. They also sell Coca Cola and Fanta.

Then, we found lots of shoe vendors and visited the two shops of a rapper who sells lots of hip-hop inspired clothing including jerseys and high-top sneakers.

I tried some beef calf breast from a woman grilling some up. You can also get it with a tortilla and plantains and cabbage! Then, I got a quick haircut and shave, and then we found some soccer jerseys and made our way back to the woman with the baho!

The market was a maze, and it was packed because it was Easter weekend, so lots of people were off work! What an amazing time!
