You can hit all the restaurants you want while in Nicaragua, but the real Nicaragua traditional food finds are on the streets.
In every city, town, and village, the street vendors come out to sell what they can. Usually, Nicaraguan food is delicious.
However, there will be times when just finding out what they are selling is the challenge.
After a lot of back and forth with the owners, we realized they were selling HOT DOGS!

Nicaragua Traditional Food – Where to Find It
YUM!! As much as I love CR, food in Nicaragua was beyond…
Definitely, the food in Nicaragua was more unique and more on the streets. I found that Costa Rica hardly had any outdoor stands, more little eateries.
I guess this thinkg with traditional food sold on the streets is something specific to many parts of the world. Sometimes it is a matter of trust and adventure – eating from the street – though 🙂
The problem of finding out what they are selling remembers me of Thailand. Every time I asked somebody about the ingredients of a certain meal they always answered: “don’t worry, just eat.” Aaaalright.
Street food is a great way to try some local cuisine. Funny about figuring out that they were selling hot dogs!! They must have been authentic hot dogs then!
