As my time in Nicaragua continued, I made my way to the city of León to explore the food and culture there. Come with me as I try authentic Nicaraguan street food and see the local attractions in León, Nicaragua!
León is one of two colonial cities in the country. It was founded in 1524. My friend and guide Carlos and I started off in the Plaza Central, where we got a raspado (snow cone) from a vendor.
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/...
She offers several flavors including tamarind and pineapple, but she recommended the dulce de leche. She shaved off a block of ice and added dulce the leche and cherries with tamarind honey on top for 25 cordobas.
The cherries were delicious and sweet but full of seeds. I loved the creamy condensed milk. It was super decadent and refreshing on this hot day! It was so good, I needed more dulce de leche!
Then, I tried a bit of a raspado with dulce de leche and bread! It was delicious, almost like a pastry! Next, I bought some seeds to feet the pigeons.
Next, we saw some folklore dolls with large heads. They’re part of the local culture! Then, we saw some Leonese sweets, including local honey with honeycomb.
I tried a sweet pear cookie called a zapoto, and cups and bowls made from calabash shells.
I washed out the calabash cup and then got some chicha, which is a drink made from black corn. It’s so good and refreshing! It contains pieces of corn but is sweet!
From there, we saw the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, the biggest cathedral in Latin America! The most important poet in Latin America, Ruben Dario, rests there.
There were lots of white statues and huge paintings depicting the crucifixion on the walls. Then, we walked up to the top to see the bells at the top. From there, we had a great view of León and the volcanoes in the distance.
I took off my shoes at the very top, where the views were even better! Back on the street, we got elote with cream, barbecue, cheese, butter, and chili on it.
It looked spicy. I loved the butter, cheese, and barbecue, and it was super creamy. But it wasn’t very spicy. It was perfect for $1.30 USD!
I saw a vendor selling some soccer jerseys and others selling artisanal goods. I tried on a Nicaragua jersey but it was too small, so I moved on to El Sesteo Restaurante, which is right in front of the cathedral.
On the terrace outside, I enjoyed an aged rum. It’s a great place to eat and drink and enjoy the weather. Inside, there are some masks!
Then, we got a corn cake (torta de maiz) and an espresso. The expresso was great! Nicaragua has some of the best coffee in the world. The cake was sweet and would have been great with ice cream on top.
Then, we headed to Tacos Alba Luz for a fried taco with cabbage and cream. They have pork and chicken varieties and fry them. They were crispy on the outside but so soft inside. I loved the layers of corn dough!
The cabbage and cream were excellent. It only cost 40 cordoba, or around $1.20 USD.
Back at my accommodations, Hotel El Convento, we’d grab dinner. The hotel used to be a convent. In the kitchen, I tried a Toña beer, the national beer of Nicaragua.
It was light and tasty. They also made me a Nica steak and some gallo pinto, tostones with red cabbage. The steak had a Creole sauce on it.
The meat was so smoky and soft. The sauce and pico de gallo made it!

Nicaragua tiene lugares muy bonitos y es la verdad. La gente son MUY amables y tienen buen corazón son humildes . El clima es tropical y sus mares son increíbles pará surfing 🌊 nuestro Nicaragua necesitan más turísmo. En verdad es un pedacito dé centro América MUY lindo. Pero esté gobierno no dejá que nuestro Nicaragua salga adelante 😢😢😢😢
Qué Díos bendiga Nicaragua 🙏🙏🙏

Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Amazing video David. The food looks delicious.
Extraño mi bello león... 😭😭
I’m hungry now 🤗🇳🇮
The food looks so Mexican!! I love the craft items.. very talented people👍👍
We have lots similarities because Nicaragua was one nation with Mexico 🇲🇽 before the Spanish colonisation and after the Spanish were gone we were one nation as well.
León es super especial para Nicaragua al igual que Granada y masaya respectivamente

Muy linda ciudad. La catedral más antigua del latino América es en santo domingo, R.D. respectivamente
Creo que es la más antigua de C.A la construyeron en 1532 por ahí
my best bro david thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your cousin viki 💙
Now I have to plan my trip to Nica.
super great video, thanks
On the snow cone it looks like a sour cherry or just a regular cherry. You mentioned in the other video, that you've never anywhere else, but they're well known.
I'm wandering how you ended up in Nicaragua. Things there are so different now. Most of the food they used to served in Babana leaves not in bags. Drinks yes,always in bag and quesillo,and maybe a few more things that's considered finger food but not everything like I see now. But certainly one thing never change that's Nicaragua has one of the best cuisine in the region. Everything is delicious!
wow David has really been everywhere!!!
The best
The Leon cathedral is actually the biggest in Central American not Latin America that would be the cathedral at Mexico City but the Leon cathedral was completed before so it’s possible at one point it was the biggest religious building in Latin America before the one in Mexico was completed
Hello from Long beach ca.
I wish the locals in The restaurants n the ppl that sell food put some music on and Also in the plazas by the bars would make it more live
What.... no doubles?!! Lol!!
Nice SOS beautiful Nicaragua
Raspado son rico.
En nicaragua se come mucho mi gallo pinto 😘😋
Nicaraguanese food 🙌 you should try the arroz valencia
Hii
at 14:20, when I was a kid my cousin used to say to visiting family members complaining about the heat: "Leon is so hot that even the devil doesn't visit".
Actually Leon's cathedral is the biggest in Central America, not in latam.. But still one of the biggest
Victoria es la mejor
Pity you couldn't get the Nicaraguan jersey Bro...
The guy is showing you the country songs like he likes guys.
Can you provide your guide's information? The link for his IG doesnt not work
David's tour guide looks like Tom Segura, lol.

Another mukbang with Bald head Brittany
Mucha comida es mexicana..tacos,Pico de gallo,rraspados etc.
No es lo mismo, el sabor es diferente
Pues no es mexicana, el pico de gallo lo conozco desde muy niña……Las comidas con maíz, se hacen en todo Americana…..salvo algunas diferencias. Por ejemplo en Nicaragua se hace: nacatamal, rosquillas, chicha, chicha bruja, pinol, tortillas, tamal dulce, tamal relleno, guirilas, indio viejo y no terminamos con la cantidad de platillos….
Need Bald Head Brittany.
Es buena gastronomía pero no es todo lo mejor de C.A otros países tienen lo suyo también al que visita tu país le digas soy él mejor de todos eso es falta de respeto.
Dios perdon para este ser humano, por ponerle Hielo a un flor de caña de 25 años :(. eso se toma como un buen vino.
Carlos solo habla Medio tiempo
Why aren’t you fat?
El Nica paracaidista, aaay se la pasa comiendo gratis a costilla de los turistas, ya que en el canal 13 no le pagan muy bien!. jajajaja.
El es guía, anda trabajando, le tienen que pagar su comida.
