My final morning in Nicaragua began in the city’s Oriental Market! Come along with me as I explore the largest market in Central America!

The Oriental Market in Managua is the largest market in all of Central America. It covers 135 city blocks, and the vendors sell everything you could possibly want—food, clothing, souvenirs, household items, spices, and much more! They say if you can’t find it here, you can’t find it anywhere on Earth!

My friend and guide Carlos from Visit Nicaragua started by looking for some breakfast. We found a woman selling quesillos en bolsa. You eat them right out of the bag! She filled them with onions, cream, and cheese. The cheese was so fresh and tasty!

Then, you tie the bag, mix everything inside, and bite a hole in the corner of the bag. From there, you suck the mixture out through the hole! The mixture of onions, spices, and cream is incredible. This is one of my top three favorite dishes in Nicaragua!

Then, I washed my hands and paid 100 Cordobas. Then, we headed through the market to a spot to get some baho. Along the way, I tried some mangoes from a vendor who puts salt and chilies on them. They weren’t ripe, but they were still great!

Further on, we reached the covered part of the market, where we found massagers, backpacks, dresses, and more. I bought a massager for 150 cordobas. There were hundreds of clothing venders everywhere! We got two coffees from a guy with a cart for 12 Cordobas.

The coffee was super hot but woke me up. It was the perfect thing to wake me up. Later, we saw some sandals and crocs before continuing on to the baho vendor! The woman make the dish outside and then you eat inside!

The baho contains calf chest, yuca, sweet plantains, and tomatoes, and is topped with crunchy cabbage. The meat was so tasty and tender from the steaming process.

I loved the flavor from the fat! It cost 130 Cordobas total. It was another of my favorite dishes in Nicaragua! We saw vendors selling lots of baseball caps, including ones for American sporting teams and even Batman!

Then, we found lots of stuff for parties, like candy, pints, balloons, dolls, and more. It was an entire section for kids’ birthday parties! Further on were pharmaceuticals like medicines and masks. We bought some aqua en bolsa for 6 cordobas each. They also sell Coca Cola and Fanta.

Then, we found lots of shoe vendors and visited the two shops of a rapper who sells lots of hip-hop inspired clothing including jerseys and high-top sneakers.

I tried some beef calf breast from a woman grilling some up. You can also get it with a tortilla and plantains and cabbage! Then, I got a quick haircut and shave, and then we found some soccer jerseys and made our way back to the woman with the baho!

The market was a maze, and it was packed because it was Easter weekend, so lots of people were off work! What an amazing time!
