After nearly 15 years of traveling the world, I’ve made it to my 88th country, Nicaragua! After landing just minutes earlier, I headed out that evening for an incredible street food experience. Come with me on the ultimate fritanga tour in Managua, Nicaragua!

Fritanga is essentially various street foods: grilled chicken, pork, fried tacos, fried cheese, carne asada, and more! I’d be exploring it all with my friend and guide Carlos, who’d be with me for my entire trip!

Our first stop was Restaurant The Cousins, where they were grilling chicken, pork, and beef on an outdoor grill. Inside, they had meat and potatoes, chicken with jalapenos and cream, carne asada, valencia rice, BBQ ribs, tongue with salsa, pinched pig (pig with vegetable sauce), rice with shrimp, fried enchiladas, fried tacos, gallo pinto, and more!

Everything looked and smelled amazing. They let me try a cup of a cacao drink. It was pure, and similar to a drink I’d tried before.

Then, I dove into a dish with fried plantains with cabbage salad, fried white cheese, and sweet maduro. They brought me chiles, too. It was hot!

At our table, we had gallo pinto, carne asada, tajadas con queso, and enchilada frita. The enchilada was huge and packed with rice and meat! I loved it with the spicy sauce!

The carne asada with the cabbage and salsa was smoky and crunchy with the perfect amount of heat. The pollo asado (grilled chicken) had a nice char on it. The gallo pinto was unreal, too! It was really special—the best I’ve ever had!

The fried cheese with the carne asada was amazing. I also loved the way the gallo pinto was fried. It would go very well with scrambled eggs!

Next was the carne de cerdo a la parrilla (grilled pork) with chimichurri and pan de achiote on top. The pan de achiote gave it a vibrant, reddish color. It was very tender but charred on the outside. I loved the chimichurri. I loved the fat on it!

From there, we saw a guy grilling carne asada outside over charcoal. He grills all day long! Then, we drove to the Colonia Centro America neighborhood. The street is lined with fritanga spots!

We stopped at Fritanga Nica, where I got a taco in a bag (quesillo en bolsa) with cheese, onions, salad, ketchup, cream, chilies. You mix it up and eat it straight out of the bag, the way the Nicaraguan people do! It was so packed with flavor. I loved the cabbage, cream, and ketchup mixture!

At Asados don Mincho, we met a woman grilling chicken, gallo pinto, and meat. Their gallo pinto is red because they use red beans instead of black. She also had a fried banana that she grilled.

The torta de maduro was a sweet plantain empanada stuffed with cheese and cabbage salad on top. It came with a grilled hot dog. The sweetness of the plantain, savory cheese, and spicy sauce were fantastic together! It reminded me of a Venezuelan cachapa.

The people here were so nice! Everyone so far had comped me. Our next stop was Freaking Frozen, where I’d get a chili smoothie! In the back, they made mango smoothies and other flavors. Mine would be spicy!

We got a spicy mango smoothie, hoctada (with a sour, meaty fruit like cherries). The hocada was spicy, sweet, and salty. The mango was made of green mango, and was a little sour and bitter, and was like a spicy fruit cocktail.

The granizado de limonada was my favorite! It was essentially ice and lemon!
