Central America It has a surplus of good taste, confirmed by its delicious variety of food and drinks. Some Central American foods may be quite familiar to you (fried chicken in Guatemala, fruit smoothies in Costa Rica), while others foods and drinks are much more exotic (fried palm blossoms in El Salvador or cassava-filled rolls in Panama).
1. Costa Rica
Food in Costa Rica is not as different as the food that you can taste in the United States. There are some notable exceptions, such as the chili (a spicy dressing made with pickled onions, peppers and other vegetables) and the pastel de tres leches (a cake soaked in three types of milk).
2. Honduras
On the Caribbean coast and in the Bay Islands, seafood is the protagonist of the cuisine. You won't be able to talk about Honduran food if you finally don't try fresh fish, shrimp, lobster, or snails.
3. Panama
Panamanian cuisine is quite exotic: tropical fruits, carimanola (fried cassava roll filled with meat and cooked eggs).
4. Guatemala
Food and drinks are influenced by the Mayan and Spanish cultures. For example, breakfasts are very simple (eggs, tortillas, beans and bananas), and it is essential that you have a good cup of coffee.
5. El Salvador
A mixture of indigenous and Spanish influences make the food include all kinds of delicious fillings: tamales, empanadas, pastelitos, and the ever-present pupusa.
