Gallo pinto can mean either spotted rooster or a perfectly mixed rice-and-bean concoction. If you want the former, you are out of luck. But nowhere prepares the Central American delicacy more deliciously than Fritanga Cocina de Do
Good baho is hard to get, if you can find it at all. One reason is that it takes about eight hours to cook the complicated dish. What the heck is it? Essentially beef brisket, mysteriously soaked in a marinade of tomatoes, onions, and oranges, and then wrapped in banana leaves, tossed into a big […]

Either way, visitors to Fritanga Montelimar will come away with the taste of Nicaragua on their tongue. Plates of traditional cuisine come cheap.

This colorful Nicaraguan joint is one of those places you visit to feel like you’re on vacation even if you’re already on vacation. Yambo is as much about the atmosphere as it is about food. On the terrace, folk-art knickknacks – miniature guitars, hats, porcelain pots, even a mounted boar’s head – hang from and […]
