Eating in Guanacaste is an experience in itself. Besides the authentic Costa Rican food like rice, beans, and hand-made tortillas, there are a myriad of foods available locally, such as lobster, crab, shrimp, shellfish, ceviche (a Tican favorite), and an abundance of fresh fish.

Fruits, such as mangoes, coconuts, limes, papaya, grapefruit, oranges, star fruit, and avocado are just a few of the available fresh choices. In the nearby town of Los Pargos there are two pulperias (little food stores) and a wonderful bakery. Also available to travelers are a number of locally run restaurants.
