I was just in Costa Rica and had almost all of this. Had gallo pinto every morning, ceviche, Casado 😋, chifrijo and arroz con camarones. I wish they had more Costa Rican food in the states!
The bean sauce you’re talking about is called frijoles molidos and is indeed very tasty you can eat with chips, rice, bread or put it on your tortilla (my favorite way hehe)
A small detail for the "casado" typical plate, it has a couple origin stories about why it's named that. The first theory states that men would ask the women who typically cook at the sodas for more food and to treat them as "married men" or "casados" in the sense of a home cooked meal like their wives would make (mostly portion size). Another story says that the food is "married" to each other as it's all served together on one plate. Another theory states that a "casado" is the first meal as a married couple has, which has many small dishes to complement the rice and this way the wife will find out on the first day what her husband likes to eat. Something fun to think about a typical and traditional Costa Rican lunch dish's name.
Too bad you didn't try the full(with ice cream) Churchil/Copos/Granizados. This crazy cold dessert has shaved ice, syrup, powdered milk, sweetened condensed milk and a scoop of ice cream for the full version. These ingredients are layered. It is delicious and quite sweet. Fantastic to cool down with. You can find the version without ice cream being served out of mobile carts everywhere.
We are a costarican family used to many years of explaining tipico food to travelers, at home or at a soadita with an open menu. Our guests love it. You did a good job in this video.
Had 6 days in CR last Oct 2019 and made sure 3 of those 6 days had Imperial in it. Made sure to get my last Imperial at the airport when returning to Belize, my home.
Nice video I first saw ur videos before going to outer banks . This looks nice cuz I wonder wat Costa Rica food is like . Cool video from Maryland !🇪🇨👍🏼💯💯🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Pura vida mi amigo great review I prefer gallo pinto with red beans hahhahaa . Also in Costa Rica we are bless with fresh vegetable every months or day
My guys you need to try our all time typical bread "empanada de chiverre" with a tarrazú coffee and you'll see god 🤣 Also, Caribbean Rice n' beans>gallo pinto....btw thats a good review (im costa rican) here's more things to try: lengua en salsa, frito, escabeche de banano, taco tico, tamal, tamal mudo, tamal asado, panes de maíz guanacasteco, queso palmito, natilla menonita, rondón, panbón, beff patty, sopa de mariscos en leche, olla de carne, sopa de albóndigas, sopa negra, caldosas, empanadas arregladas, pasteles guanacastecos....btw, the plant with conical, white long flowers is an angel bells, it has one of the strongest drugs in the world, its also very poisonous and lethal.....also idk if you know but chan is related to chía seeds, it's very nutritious and refreshes as much as mozote
*_confusing idioms_* - At 5:20 Mark meant to say "white whale" not "white elephant." _White elephant_ is essentially useless and unwanted but _white whale_ is the ultimate goal or an obsession in this case referring to CR's fantastic seafood. *_Chan_* - "kinda like drinking brains or snot" 😂 I almost spit my beer! I've had lots of chia seed drinks but not chan. Definitely will keep an eye out. I haven't had tons of CR cuisine but this seemed really comprehensive. Well done. 👍

Chan looks like an alien drink, you need to try it.
As someone from Costa Rica, adding French fries to the gallo pinto, just seems wrong idk, but there are other crazy combinations and to each their own, as long as you like it. Also yes lizano is the best.
@@jenn9432 hi there. Just a heads up for anyone reading this comment and wondering the same thing we were before heading to Costa Rica ... and BTW we did spend 3 months in Costa Rica so got some first-hand knowledge of Colones vs. USD. We used Colones a lot, but still USD quite a bit. We seemed to get better prices with Colones too. Hopefully, I didn't really come across pretentious, wasn't meaning to. Was curious since I've traveled to other countries and found that some menus are in local currency and USD and that sometimes they prefer USD. Hopefully, that helps.
Found myself chuckling through this... Lizano sauce- Literally on everything... BEST fruit- dare I say even superior to Hawaii? and interestingly I NEVER drank coffee until I went to CR! Now I am several nearly black cups a day! ( I like to order from Cafe Milagro). Appreciate this while we are locked back down in CA!
Everyone should try the tres leches cake! Also, beer drinkers should have one of the many beers. My favorite was Imperial. Now that I think of it, I think I'll pick up some at my local liquor store. I hope it's authentic and not "brewed for export" as so many beers are.
You made me so hungry and thirsty watching this. I've traveled to Thailand many times but living in Florida I should have traveled here and not have to travel 28 hrs. To get to Thailand. I think its a 3 hr flight to Costa rica from here. Nice video's!
Pops. Mango. Mmmm. Ceviche...sigh. It's likely to be a while, so I consoled myself by ordering a bottle of Salsa Lizano from a well-known online retailer. :-)
I love his videos... But there's a mistake about our dish known like "casado" and "married" aren't same. So "casado" is just name of dish but some restaurants write "married" typical food just have a name and it's "casado" that's it. Dish couldn't be known like "married" there isn't translate😊

Lovely
I like our food culture because people cook homemade food we avoid processed food as much as posible
Si es cierto
Short answer: EVERYTHING 😍. The food is amazing in Costa Rica and the coffee is the best!!!
As a Costa Rican guy in Europe. I miss this food so freaking much 🤤

Costa Rican living in the US here! 👋 I really miss our food! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video, you only missed "picadillos"!
RIGHT?! i was thinking the same thing!!!
Same here i live in Missouri and i want a tamal 😁😄😂
We combine lizano with lemon and mango, its great , like ceviche!

Those are not available in the USA? Copos are delicious!!!

Costa Rican coffee is my favorite, too. No bitter afterbite. Excellent taste and smooth finish. Low acid.
CR has lots of freshly squeezed juice so many farms around
Costa Rica 🇨🇷 is on my bucket list to places I want to visit
Awesome video!! You made everything sound so good even without pictures!!
Had 6 days in CR last Oct 2019 and made sure 3 of those 6 days had Imperial in it. Made sure to get my last Imperial at the airport when returning to Belize, my home.
The resort I stayed had great food.
Chan is great for acid reflux. It smooths and coats your stomach lining. Better than aloe vera.
Thank you for sharing this food video....mmm tasty 😋
Greetings from COSTARICA 🇨🇷 food Delicious Recomend chifrijo , picadillos papa platano
As a Costa Rican. I can confirm.
Compi usted conoce!!! Hey guy, you really know our food.
Greetings from Limon.
There's a lot of overlap between food in Costa Rica and food where we are currently living in Nicaragua. My husband is addicted to refrescos!
Omg who have comentó Costa Rica 🇨🇷 we are the best country😌
Nice video I first saw ur videos before going to outer banks . This looks nice cuz I wonder wat Costa Rica food is like . Cool video from Maryland !🇪🇨👍🏼💯💯🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Fun fuct that i read somewhere and i'm about to share ir without doble checking it😂 the red fanta "kolita" is only availabe amd produced in Costa Rica
I'm good with rice& beans (even 3 times a day!)
Good video! Great food and even better coffee in Costa Rica. Also Lizano was a game changer as a sauce
Serious game changer. Love Lizano
Yes, I was only half way done with my cup and already had to use the restroom 😂
@@woltersworld by the way, you can eat lizano sauce with green mango it's delicious! Maybe the only fruit that it tastes good with!
I've been watching you for four 4 1/2 years and your suggestions are always so great. I can't wait to travel again.
A Costa Rican living far from home, drooling! Your children are adorable 🥰
Pura vida mi amigo great review I prefer gallo pinto with red beans hahhahaa . Also in Costa Rica we are bless with fresh vegetable every months or day
Cheers from chiclayo city, my country is Perú 🇵🇪, from all of Costa Ricans GUYS.
I want to travel!!!
Awesome video
I recommend to try hanfcrafted beers called "artesanales". Much better than Imperial. There's always wide variety.
I prefer Pilsen 😂🤣
I am a weak man for the combination of rice and chips/fries in the same meal
I like a chicken curry with half rice half chips.
What a food in Costa Rica, thanks, I subscribe you, again thanks....
My guys you need to try our all time typical bread "empanada de chiverre" with a tarrazú coffee and you'll see god 🤣

Do you suggest bringing Colones? Or dollars? I know they accept both
Wow so good i like your video

Chan is very healthy, specially for people with diabetes and high cholesterol levels.
I clicked because the thumbnail looked so good.
Playa flamingo was amazing, I had the opportunity to eat at Coco Loco and the food was fresh and delicious
I wasn’t disappointed with the food when we visited. I found my local WinCo sells CRs beer (Imperial)!
I love rice and beans.
As someone from Costa Rica, adding French fries to the gallo pinto, just seems wrong idk, but there are other crazy combinations and to each their own, as long as you like it.
Also yes lizano is the best.
Chan I think is like chia
Great video! We're headed to Costa Rica tomorrow. What did you end up using the most to pay for stuff? The local Colones or USD?
that is so pretentious. colones, of course.

Maybe you mean the chia seeds? For chan?
Should you be cautious about eating fresh fruit?!
Thanks for making me hungry 😋 🤣🤣
Sushi is great!! The fish from Caribbean it's fresh and tasty
6:42 Lizano goes with green mango!

CR has Panda Express
hi, how come is to get food poison in CR

Patacones (testones elsewhere) are awesome!
Gringo: *takes shots of guaro*

Thats an amazing video. Love to see your vlog. Keep inspiring us to make awesome video. ❤❤ Watch our new vlog too...
Pops. Mango. Mmmm. Ceviche...sigh.
It's likely to be a while, so I consoled myself by ordering a bottle of Salsa Lizano from a well-known online retailer. :-)

What you should eat in Costa Rica….nothing! 😂

ngl looking this up bc I'm talking to a costa rican girl XD
Did it work out?
