Perhaps because of the hot climate, a distinctive aspect of Costa Rican cuisine is its wide and tasty array of cold beverages. Frescos have taken the conept of "juice" to new levels of sweetness, combining fruits with sugar, with with or water, though nothing can compete with the widespread appeal of Costa Rica's world-class coffee.
If it doesn't have rice and beans, it isn't tico. Rice and black beans are not just everday staple foods; they have been appropriated as a no-frills national icon. They are easy to find at any roadside Soda, which is a local place to get homestyle cooking for inexpensive prices. Comida tipica (local) dishes are more flavorful than they are spicy like in other latin american countries.
Fresh fruit is always available in Costa Rica. It is locally grown, and tastes sweet and delicious. You can choose from pineapple, banana, melon, strawberries, or papaya.
