Review: San Juan Del Sur food market, Nicaragua

After a few days of western food we were craving the gallo pinto again (as well as a cheaper meal!) so we headed to the food market.  One evening we bought fresh ingredients and cooked some plantain chips, and a vegetable pasta dish and another couple of visits we ate in the market itself.

It is a very small market and the food stall owners are over immediately as you wonder through.  We chose one where they didn’t really hound us and they seemed really friendly.  We had a lunch and a breakfast at the stall and it was great quality food for very low prices!  I love eating in the local markets and from the street food stalls as you get to have a bit of chat with the owners who are usually delighted you are there and showing an interest, plus you get to experience the food the locals eat.
