After spending my morning in Rivas, I headed off to San Juan de Sur. Come with me as I enjoy some Nicaraguan street food and enjoy the sights and sounds of San Juan de Sur, Nicaragua!
San Juan de Sur is a beach paradise in southern Nicaragua. It’s just 50 kilometers from the Costa Rican border. It’s beautiful, and it isn’t too touristy. There are lots of locals and street food vendors.

We saw vendors selling elote, sunglasses, and more. I tried on some sunglasses and bought them for 250 Cordobas/roughly $8 USD. Another guy sold personalized keychains. They cost roughly $1.20 each.
Then, we found a vendor selling fried plantains called tajadas. They were a crunchy, light snack, and were very delicious! They’re crispy because they’re so thin!
From there, my guide Carlos from Visit Nicaragua and I followed the boardwalk, which turns into a restaurant strip with some vendors mixed in.
I met a vendor selling some beautiful wood-carved souvenirs, including turtle keychains. I bought one and then played a street game before heading to El Buen Gusto, a gorgeous open-air restaurant on the beach with high ceilings.
In the kitchen, I watched them fry fish and chicken wings. They batter the red snapper in corn flour. They also sell shrimp cocktail with tajadas. They serve the fish whole with tostones, rice, and tajadas.
