Food
Eating establishments in this guide are separated into budget categories and then listed according to au-
thor preference.
Many Nicaraguans eat lunch on the go, but the majority eat dinner at home, so outside tourist areas
you may find eating options are reduced in the evening. Budget eateries including comedores (basic
eateries), where you choose from a variety of ready-prepared dishes, and market stalls serve a limited
range of filling dishes and set meals from US$2 to US$5. Also in this price range are fritangas (grills),
which serve grilled meats and fried sides. Midrange eateries will have a decent-sized menu charging
US$5 to US$10 per plate. Top-end establishments (mostly found in Granada, Managua and San Juan
del Sur) will have an even better range, including dishes from around the world, costing more than
US$10.

blended rice and beans), at lunch the rice and beans are usually separate - it's said to be more filling
that way. Be sure to keep an eye out for local specialties including nacatamales (banana-leaf-wrapped
