Costa Rican Traditional Food

Traditional Costa Rican dishes typically contain inexpensive yet delicious ingredients such as chicken, vegetables, fish, rice, and beans. Their breakfast or "Desayuno" is quite similar to dishes served in the U.S. but with a few Costa Rican twists. You can find eggs, bacon, and sausage almost anywhere, as well as Gallo pinto, a local favorite. It's fried rice and beans served with Lizano sauce. A tortilla is typically used to eat rice and beans. Lunch and dinner are very similar.
