The NICARAGUAN STREET FOOD QUEEN of Granada!! Vigoron and Fritanga Tour in Nicaragua!!

🌎 MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: davidsbeenhere...
My epic food and travel adventure through the country of Nicaragua continued in the city of Granada! Come with me on my awesome street food adventure in Granada, Nicaragua!
Granada is a colonial city, and one of the oldest cities in Latin America. It dates back to 1524 and is about an hour’s drive from Managua.
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/...
While we were here, we were going to try one of the area’s most popular dishes, vigoron. It’s made up of cassava, yucca, salad, and fried pork. I couldn’t wait to try it!
We started at Tower La Merced Church, which offers the best views of Granada. It costs 20 cordobas to go up to the top, which is less than $1 USD. From the top, you can see all of the colonial buildings, the volcano in the distance, and Lake Nicaragua!
The stairs to go up and down are very steep, so I suggest going slow. Back outside, we passed colonial buildings, shops, pulperias, barber shops, and street vendors on our way to the Central Park.
There, we didn’t meet the man we were supposed to-the Chubby Man-but we met his wife, who prepared the vigoron for us! She added cabbage salad, pork rinds, and pork belly and served it on a leaf.
The chicharron was amazing, and I loved the crunchy and refreshing cabbage salad. I could see why this is the local dish of Granada!
We also got a drink called coyolito, which is similar to grape or cherry juice. It was nice and refreshing.
But I had to go back to the vigoron. Adding some chilies gave it some heat and a nice vinegar flavor. The chicharron was nice and crunchy, but the pork belly was nice, fatty, and meaty.
I also loved the cassava. It was a nice mix of textures and a great meal for just 80 cordoba/roughly $2.24 USD. The coyolito was the perfect way to cool off in the heat!
Then, we met a woman in the park selling lots of traditional local sweets, including some coyolito candies covered in sugar. It was crumbly and soft, and packed with sugar!
She also had some candied papaya, which was chewy and extremely sweet.
Then, we continued through the park past a beautiful church, where we watched a performance dedicated to us for 200 cordoba/roughly $5.60 USD. It featured dancers with large puppets on their heads. They dance to the drummers!
The woman also danced throughout the square on everyone! They danced for 3 minutes. Then, we walked past lots of restaurants and bars, and stopped inside Nectar Bar & Restaurante.
They sell artisanal beers, wine, and food. Their Bluefields Maibock was a nice amber with 6.9% alcohol. It was hoppy, wheaty, and malty. I also tried a macuá, which is the national drink.
Then, we left and got some fritanga. They sell gallo pinto in a bag, as well as chicken, maduro, queso frito, and more. Our fritanga came with fried cheese, cabbage salad, plantain chips.
The cheese was nice and dense, and the crisp cabbage really set it off. I loved it. The plantain chips were also nice and crunchy!

Nicaraguan gastronomy is very delicious and varied.... 🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮 Apart from the food Nicaragua has a natural wealth and beautiful landscapes, excellent crafts

[@brentshuffler1234]

Seeing the piles of fresh cabbage with each meal makes me think that this is one of the more healthful examples of street-food. I am amazed at how much food you consumed in one day.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

yes! Get ready there are so many more central market videos to come ;)

[@afugomez3853]

We eat the “repollo” or “ensalada” with Everything. David! Try a Raspado Loly’s

[@BucketListTravellers]

This video is making us so homesick! We lived in Granada for a year and it's the best! Missing those fritangas so much! 🇳🇮

[@mencachimba]

I saw all your videos about Nicaragua, a fan

[@BucketListTravellers]

@@mencachimba Thanks for watching mencachimba! 😀

[@Lizett-gl4pq]

I love your videos ❤️

[@ajusa2024]

Honest question... Why is it "the best"? It's literally a filthy loud dump. Leon is infinitely nicer than Granada, and even Leon sucks.

[@ivonnefuller8726]

Oh David, nostalgia invaded me. My dad was from Granada. Thanks for showing Nicaragua.

[@bluedasher74]

Thank you for making this video. I'm Nicaraguan but I haven't lived there since I was a small child. Glad you enjoyed your stay in Nicaragua.

[@marthasaravia3347]

Loving all your videos you recorded in my country Nicaragua 🇳🇮 thank you David

[@claudiaf.r.6868]

El vigorón es nicaragüense! Así cómo el gallopinto, baho, nacatamal, etc.

Hello from Long beach ca.The food looks delicious.

[@ojosef4608]

Oh, David! You are one of a kind. I am obsessed with your videos. Great content and natural with the locals.

[@kirstymorris8784]

get the vigoron in the mercado or anywhere else on most corners, the ones in the parque cental are tourist prices. But nectar was a good choice, we go there regularly, the boys who work there are super nice, also the good thing about nectar is its near the start of the calzada so its not as noisy.

[@sheldonkowlessar7591]

Mannn havent had vigoron in a long time mmmm🤤

[@yancarlos9631]

Granada guaooo Nice SOS beautiful Nicaragua

[@elizabeth16598ee]

Vigoron looks delicious love everything about it would love to try it :) I would eat street food over restaurant anyday.. Though there is a lot of great food in them. Fritange looks amazing love it.. So many great foods I have never ate but sure would love to try them all. And I loveeee Cabbage to so good.. Dreams of travel :) Lovely Place today thanks for the trip.

[@tamariamendoza6216]

Tremendo video y compañía de Carlos Tapia. Super 👌

[@epn1961]

David buy the tour guy his own vigoron men ! good video

[@adrenalinefilms]

Yoooo......you missed the "tostometro" at the market....one of the most delicious Nicaraguan new food joints...I recomend it! Healthy and delicate flavors...like a hamburger but instead of bread. Smashed flat .banana ..and selection of things from top quality meat to vegetarian options...a small local family run..try it next time around! ( ASK FOR AMOS)

[@MegaGiovany]

Just beautiful thanks David

[@rubencabral6463]

[@rosamundakajessiejulien8994]

[@danieldipalma704]

Coyotito is the fruit of a palm tree that is very sour and has an edible nut. Nothing to do with cherries or grapes...

[@SakuraHailey]

Love Latin American Architecture, the beautiful colonial buildings, and also awesome foods, Another well put together video. Also tour guide seems such good company. Thanks David, safe travels. Looking forward to more awesome ones.
