Gallo Pinto - traditionally served with breakfast, but can also be served later in

the day. Gallo pinto is a slowly blended and married together dish of rice, beans,
onions, red peppers, and cilantro. Gallo pinto served with eggs, fried cheese,
sweet plantains, and homemade corn tortillas

El casado - includes rice and beans, a salad, fried sweet plantains, and a protein
– either fish, chicken, pork, or beef. Some casados will come with a slice of fresh
cheese, French fries or grilled vegetables. A casado basically has all the staples
of a perfectly balanced meal and is the comida typica (typical food) of Costa Rica.
This plate is served for lunch or dinner.

While this is not technically a food unless you eat the inside – which is also
highly recommended – a pipa fria is a must-have when on the coast. A pipa fria is a
cold coconut which is usually sold on the streets or on the beach for between $1
and $2. There will be a man or a woman with a cooler filled with iced pipa frias,
and they will open up a coconut for you on the spot. This incredibly hydrating and
refreshing beverage is the perfect midday revitalizer.

Chifrijo - compact dish that is usually served in bars. It is a bowl of rice and
beans topped with fried pork meat or fried pork skins and topped with avocado, pico
de gallo, chimichurri, and lime. There are few things that go better with an ice
cold Pilsen than a cup of chifrijo. Often this dish is accompanied by homemade
tortilla chips or plantain chips
