My road trip through Nicaragua continued with a stop in Masatepe, a small town outside of Masaya. We were there to try a special dish called mondongo, which is made from calf tripe and feet! Come with me as we eat the Nicaraguan delicacy called mondongo and explore Masatepe!
You can’t visit Masatepe without trying mondongo, and the town is also famous for its furniture makers! They make chairs, sofas, rocking chairs, and more. But first, we were starting at El Rancho del Mondongo to eat!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
The restaurant is rustic and open-air, with high ceilings. There, my guide Carlos and I met with Judith, who would walk us through how to make mondongo. First we saw the vegetables they use: corn, cassava, ginger, lettuce, squash, and more.
I saw them cooking the tripe and beginning the soup. It contained a couple of different types of corn, calf ribs, cabbage, and more. It also contains calf feet, which I normally don’t like because there’s no meat on them!
I’d be trying the mondongo and the ribs soup, along with rum plata, which is the official mondongo drink in Nicaragua.
First, I started on the tripe, which was incredible and spongy! I loved the earthy, iron-rich flavor of the meat, as well as lots of fat and vegetables. I even liked the feet, which had some meat on them! The ribs in the rib soup were so tender, they fell apart in my mouth!
On the side, we had tortillas, avocado, lemon, salt, cheese, and rice. The rum with the lemon and salt was great. Then, we put the cheese and avocado in the tortilla. It’s great, but if you dunk it into the soup, it’s even better!
After eating, it was time to tour the town and see the local furniture! It only took a three-minute drive for us to make it to Mercado de Artesanias Mazatepelth in the central part of town.
There were lots of wicker chairs and wicker baskets, as well as wooden tables, wooden chairs, storage ottomans, and more in the furniture factory. They showed me some bread baskets I like, as well as laundry hampers, and more.
Everything was so beautiful! The woman gave me a bread basket as a gift and I also bought a corner shelf. I was hoping to come back on the last day of my trip to pick it up!
Then, we drove three more minutes to a Muebles Zulema, where they carve wooden furniture! I loved the rocking chairs, which were beautiful! They had horses carved on the sides. You can get a set of 4 and a table for $400 USD. The craftsmanship was incredible!
I could also see people sanding down pieces of a table that they’d glued together. They even had a full bar and a table with legs carved to look like a lion and its feet!
Finally, we drove back to Granada to see the border on Lake Nicaragua. It’s beautiful! Tomorrow, we’d be heading to Ometepe, the largest island in a freshwater lake in the world. But for now, we grabbed some coconuts from a vendor!
We drank the water out of them, which was sweet and refreshing! What a great way to wrap up my time in the area!

[@martagarcia6428]

Awesome!!

[@jhennessyde-la-fuente7193]

Ay Dios, casi se atora con la toalla o la falda de mondongo (OMG you almost choke trying to swallow the whole tripe), tiene que comerse pedazo por pedazo como si fuera queso de hebra (you have to eat it slowly using your fingers like if you were eating string cheese). Where in the US are you going to find and buy a brand new handmade four piece of rocking chair furniture including a center table for around $400.00 USD? Nowhere, only in Nicaragua, the best thing is that is made with real wood not PDF wood! I love the video, love your friendly spirit, love the food, and everything else about my country, off course!

[@victorlinaresaleman3612]

Hey! I am from Masatepe. I'll just say that if you take the chance to come back at any other time you should go to "Mondongo Doña Nestor" that one's the best of the town and I'm not the only one who knows it. The only thing is, they only open from Thursday to Sunday.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Yea man this place was so 🔥

[@victorlinaresaleman3612]

@@Davidsbeenhere Not to mention there's also a hostal named 'Flor de Pochote' it has a very beautiful view to the lagoon of Masatepe called 'Venecia'. Also there's a pool, hamacs, canopy, bungee and hiking activities and food there is awesome as well. Just in case you would like to try another soup here at Nicaragua we got a chicken soup made of the female one, the meat is a bit stronger than normal rooster but it has a different taste. In this hostal I am telling you, you can find it. They also sell pure chocolate with different flavors. If you would to get there don't hesitate to ask me so I can provide you directions.

[@JoyceeAriel]

Going to live there in 10 days, after 5 years in Jinotepe.. Gonna have to try it at least once, because all your mmmmm and facial expressions are making me curious lol

[@JoyceeAriel]

Your Spanish is amazing btw! can't wait to get to that level lol

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Have a very safe trip and its going to be amazing I'm sure. I grew up speaking Spanish its my first language actually so its not totally a fair comparison lol. Still wishing you an incredible time and thank you Joyce!!!

Que así fuera aquí en Los Ángeles que sirvieran así los platos y con todo eso que lleva ese plato de mondongo aquí no los sirven así y muy poco y los precios muy altos

[@spiki_x6863]

Maybe I was unlucky, but I just ate the pork version of this stew today and it was total garbage. I will definitely try to redeem the experience with the beef stew.

[@medrianartu91]

The guy who invited you or it's with you it's a close friend to the government. So from what I can see where this going
