Best Foods to Try in Costa Rica

Gallo Pinto
No visit to Costa Rica is ever complete without tasting their Gallo Pinto. This is a traditional Costa Rica breakfast dish which is a well and slowly-blended plate of rice, onions, red peppers, beans, and cilantro. Although it is traditionally in the breakfast menu, Gallo Pinto can also be served later in the day. However, we highly recommend you to try the Gallo Pinto served with fried cheese eggs, homemade corn tortillas, and sweet plantains at least once during your Costa Rica vacation, though we cannot guarantee your resistance on eating more.
