My day exploring the city of Rivas continued with an epic visit to a local street market! Join me as I try authentic Nicaraguan street food at Rivas Central Market in Rivas, Nicaragua!
Rivas Central Market is an amazing, lively market where you’ll find tons of vendors, foods, and more. Right away, we came across a woman making fresh juice and selling gum-flavored ice cream in a bag, or helado en bolsa!

The ice cream was bright blue and tasted like bubblegum. But it was icier than ice cream, more like an ice pop. It was really tasty and refreshing on this hot, Nicaraguan morning, especially for just 5 cordobas!
Next, we passed vendors selling clothing, hats, shoes, and kitchenware. Then, I met a woman selling achiote, the spice mixture they use to marinate many types of meat in Nicaragua!
She also sold melons, lemons, pineapples, potatoes, chilies, bananas, broccoli, and even some strange-looking avocadoes. I tried a small chili pepper, which was so hot I had to run across the street to get some fresh orange juice in a bag!
I was dying from the chili pepper and the juice helped so much! Instead of drinking out of the straw, I bit a hole in the corner of the bag and chugged it! It cost 25 cordobas.
Next were vendors selling nail clippers, toothbrushes, combs, locks, and more. I even saw some vendors selling cool piggy panks, including a Minion, a penguin, and a rooster. They cost 200 cordobas total, or about $7 USD!
I had too much stuff, so I needed to buy some extra luggage. I found a suitcase for 1,250 cordobas/roughly $35 USD, but I was looking for second-hand luggage.
Next, we found a vendor selling tamales without meat. I bought 3 for 10 cordobas and then found vendors selling pork rinds, pork meat with fat, and even pork brains! I bought some pork brains and some sweet yotamales.
I posted up at a table in the market to eat. The tamale was okay by itself, but you’re supposed to eat it with the pork. The pork was nicely marinated and had a bit of spice. It went well with the tamale.
The yotamal, or sweet tamale, was soft, sweet, and crumbly. I liked it more than the other one. It was great with the tender, crispy pork!
Next, I drank some water out of a bag and then followed it with the brains. They also contained corn and was amazing! I loved eating it out of the bag. It was exotic, but good, but I got a bit of an ear, which had a lot of cartilage in it!
I loved it with the yotamal. Then, we continued exploring. I wanted to support the locals. We came across some sweets, vendors selling cheese, which was nice!
We jumped in a tuk-tuk and headed down the street, which is very busy and isn’t pedestrian friendly. There are cars, bikes, tuk-tuks, as well as pedestrians! Luckily, the police helped us get through quickly.
Our ride cost 40 cordobas, and then we saw someone selling the base for a sweet that wasn’t ready. Finally, we finished at the same place we started, at the lady with the bubblegum ice cream!
