The Endless Adventure i'm from Costa Rica
I am considering coming there to teach English. Everything I learn about Costa Rica sounds amazing. I need some of that Pura Vida. Does $900-$1000 a month sound like I can be reasonably comfortable out there?
In a word, yes. Unless you are staying at a tourist class hotel- then lodging can eat up your money. Get a cheap place to live or your room provided with your teaching contract and your budget will go a long way towards a nice CR lifestyle.
Guys... that wasn't a Costarrican Salad fruit... it is served with ice cream and gelatine. I believe you asked for it and of course they said " oh yes we do have it!" and they just gave you that... am I right?
@@sbarter Yes... $1000 will work man... don't think it twice!
The Gallo Pinto was "spicy" and had more flavor because you were on the caribbean side of Costa Rica. The Gallo Pinto in Alajuela a little less spicy. The food varies by region on 🇨🇷
I love Costa Rica 🇨🇷 quality food and nature lovers paradise 😍
that coconut water is called pipa fria in costa rica.
TheHarpersimmer do you like spotify
AGUA de pipa fria.
I’ve had fresh coconut water on many tropical islands and so far the pipa fria in Costa Rica was hands down the best! 😋
Fruit salad without ice cream is sacrilege!!
The smashed fried green plantains are called "Patacones"
Heck yeah. It's our new jam!
The Endless Adventure
And you haven't taste it like you should, you can put chesse, guacamole, "pico de gallo" and a lot of other things (including the essential part... the beans) and i taste even better that how it does just with beans
Hi from Costa Rica!✌
You sound like you the man I need to find if I end up coming there in November.
@@estebangonzalez6384 pico de gallo is from México, we call it "chimichurri"
Tostones in Puerto Rico
Viva Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Love Gallo Pinto!!!!
Costa Rica is beautifull!!😍
Cant believe you both shared a "casado". For me it's like having two people eating from the same burger. Loved the video btw
They eat soo much food when they're shooting food videos though. It makes sense
We are planning a trip to Costa rica very soon and I have been watching videos. Your's was very informative and all the dishes you have mentioned are on my list of tastes I am planning to have. thanks
The smashed plantain is called "Patacones", pronounced pah-tah-coh-ness and is made with plantain that are just about to be ripe (wit some green parts) and if you like it with beans you'll be blown away if you ever try it with guacamole
I went to Costa Rica with a class at my school for a week in sarapaqui and monteverde and I miss it so much 😭
thanks for sharing - I used this with my Spanish students who are reading a Spanish novel that takes place in Costa Rica. They are reading a chapter about Casado dishes and this was a great way for them to see some of the country and see the food up close. Great job! (also thanks for keeping the language PG, that is sometimes hard to find to share with students!)
Hi Tabitha. I’m Costa Rican and I’m curious, which novel did you students read?
Hi - My wife and I are really loving this series of movies from Costa Rica, nice to see Alison taking more of a lead role in this one, we love the sunflower dress !. Food looks really fantastic, esp the eggs rice and beans thing. Some of the places along the roadsides in this place look little more than shacks, but then its more authentic than say Tenerife which has similar flora and fauna but fancy glitzy hotels all around. Love to see you having such a nice time. You deserve it after some of the travel chaos in your other movies. nice one.
Awesome, glad to hear it! Yeah, there are decent little places near center of town. But some near the outskirts are literally old run down shacks being lived in :o
Billy Clark
Attention, class, here is your lesson for today.
Gallo Pinto doesn't include egg, although many times it is included (especially at breakfast). If you want to be really cool, you can dispense with the "Gallo" part and just call it "Pinto" (Look! You sound like a local already and will impress evergone around you!).
When ordering Pinto, they will give you a whole (entero) Pinto. But you can always ask for half (medio).
Next, Pinto always gives you a choice of a side dish, so you can order "Pinto con...". While egg is the norm, you can opt for meat in tomato sauce (carne en salsa), or for vegans: picadillo (picadiyo). You can usually find your options in a steamer. The proper term is "a casado", not "casado".
Another cool term. Dispense with Costa Rica, and call the country "Tiquicia" (Tee-kee-see-ah) (Land of the Rico) NO ONE expects THAT from a tourist! Oh, and people speak "Tico" and not Spanish.
Hope this helps.
Greetings from COSTARICA 🇨🇷 thanks for visiting 👏😎
Thank you for sharing your video. I love Gallo Pinto , my favorite. I just as a matter of fact had a little bit of left overs. Enjoy yourselves there is a whole beautiful world out there to be discovered.
Looks yummmy!!! The music in this video is AWESOME, nice touch!
Do keep in mind that Gallo Pinto is a recipe that changes from family to family, so the taste is alway different, also sometimes its completely dry, almost like fried rice, and some other times it will have the consistency of a risotto
Awesome!!! This is my first time that I watch the food of my dream country. Costa Rica food looks so nice. Very similar to asian food a lot of rice and meal in the same plate. Thank you for your awesome vidio.❤️😍👍
In Costa Rica the Ensalada de Frutas (fruit salad) usually comes with vanilla ice cream and strawberry Jell-O at the bottom of all the fruit.
Mi país ❤️

@@dianas3414 hola guapa

Hey guys thank you for the video , I got homesick just by watching after being away for so many years keep up the good work. greetings from Belgium. cheers
Thanks for the comment!
you have to come to El Salvador and taste pupusas. hehehe are so delicious.
Danny Danny meh... mediocre
Danny Danny
Hi!!!
In Costa Rica me too, We have Pupusas, and the Pupusas are very delicious :). Pura Vida!!
Los salvadoreños siempre quieren llamar la atención pero bueno su país mediocre no ofrece nada
@@allanzamalloa9995 verda q no
The coloring looks great in this video! Makes the food POP.
Thanks a lot!
You are welcome. :D
We were just in Costa Rica and as I'm editing videos from the trip I realized I didn't know if you two had been there. Turns out you had! I have to go back and watch more of these old videos.
nice video!
greetings from Costa Rica!
Thanks! You too 👋
First time on this channel, and all I can say is Pura Vida!!! Vuelvan Pronto
You should have tried the Caribbean Rice n' Beans. It might seem similiar to "gallo pinto" but in my opinion, it's even better.
We actually did on a different day and you're right, it was 👌
The Endless Adventure Oh excellent. Pura Vida!
Alejandro Jiménez it taste the same, where do you think “ gallo pinto” came from ?
@@louismasis Tiene muchos ingredientes y preparación diferente, ni de cerca lo mismo. Solo un mal rice and beans va a saber a gallo pinto.
Love this channel so far. Looking forward to more vlogs and I just subbed.
Nice, thanks a ton! Glad you're enjoying the vids 👍 how'd you come across our channel?
Love the video, really helpful planning a trip there sep 2020
Awesome video. Gallo Pinto is the best! I’m first generation Costa Rican American, I’ve been eating gallo pinto my entire life. Gallo Pinto in Limón is prepared differently from the rest of the country, but it’s amazing! Loved watching the video!
Now I'm very hungry! Thank u so much 4 putting 2gether such a good video bc I'm thinking of going 2 Costa Rica but wasn't sure of where 2 go!😊
So happy it was helpful!
mmmm brings me back guys looked soo good
Heck yeah 🇨🇷
Really good video! All good vibes.
So happy to see them filming in Cahuita....I love that place...the Caribbean side of the country is all too often ignored!
Going to spend 4 days there in a couple months. Looking forward to it.
Cool ! We arrive in Cahuita this night !
No way, that's awesome! You'll have to try out the places we went to :D Let us know if you'd like to grab a beer or a cocktail. We're pretty much regulars at Coco's bar now 😂
Very nice videos, keep the good work going.
Thanks a lot Ali!
yo amo los patacones!!
Patacones?
The fried platains smashed
@@earthishome1866 yes/si
Alfin alguien que habla español aqui
Pro tip: Get your ceviche from a vendor right on the beach.
Setshot except in Jaco
Casados are called that way because they always appear together,like a married couple.One of our main dishes in Puerto Rico.
The skin is full of fiber and since the mango is fresh is delicious.
Great video !
Okay, it's now appeared on my to do list.
1:36
"se les asomó un Zaguate"
A Zaguate (street dog) sneek up on yourselves haha best part of the country, all them doggers ♥
Oh and in the near towns of San José downtown you can get 3 different types of coconut water for only 50 cents of a dollar each
A "zaguate" is a "mutt" (mixed race). A street dog is a "perro callejero" although "zaguates" make up that population.
Lol this video should've been titled "We eat Costa Rica!" :D
Great vid, guys! Keep it up!
😂 thanks a lot!
gotta love street food!
Heck yeah, so delicious!
Beautiful video and delicious food
hey guys its sad that you were at Limon and you dont even tried the local caribbean traditional food LOL such as the Rice&Beans(thats how its called, looks like a gallo pinto but is cooked with coconut oil and panamanian pepper), Patty(kind of tart filled with groud beef mixed with a lot of species and panamanian pepper), Plantain tart, pan bon!
Gallo pinto is eaten in all around the country but it is originally from north pacific side(Guanacaste) and the casado is most from the central valley(city side) so if you come back to Limon i hope you try the local food, you will be amazed!
This food looks sooooooooooo gooooooooooood😋
Oh it was delicious!! We still make that plantain dish to this day. Mmmmm!
Casado is what we usually have for lunch and dinner.... and there's lots looots of different combinations..
Oh... u should try olla de carne ... is great
u guys are my hero's I'm no aloud to travel because my dad has N.E.A.D so u do it for me so thank u SOOOOO much
Good video, pura vida, thanks for visited Costa Rica,
Pura vida,delicious food and i love the enyucadas
"enyucados"
This is my country so full of cultures and nature
!Live C.R !
Amazing video
Que bueno que esta probando nuestra comida
Its good to see ,my people all over the world keep up with our traditional food, our food is the same all over the Caribbean/Americas just called different things according to what language those who enslaved us spoke, Spainish or English etc, 12 Tribes..
Im glad you enjoyed our food and fruits, hope you come back soon
We definitely will!
love her fruit sandwich, unique.
enjoyed my home land one of the best in the world without a doubt.
Costa Ricaaaa❤❤
this is art!
that was awesome!!
you guys should do Cuba as well: cuban sandwich,piccadilio and ropa vieja.
Greece souvlaki, fresh seafood and soutzoukakia with rice and fries!
Portugal Caldo Verde, Bacalhu a bras and these Portuguese pastes...yum!
+Kons Varka we'd love to some time!
I’m going to Costa Rica in March and I caaannnnt waiiit
oh yeah Gallo Pinto rocks my world.
Typically, fried plantains eaten with an entree are riper, therefore sweet. Deep fried plantains, such as used in "chips" are usually green, unripe, so they taste starchier, like a potato chip or the difference in taste between potatoes and sweet potatoes.
😍 Thanks for the video, last year i eat real Gallo pinto was in 2015.
I could eat like this every day
Lady, your sunflower dress is so pretty!! Great episode!🦋🌻🌻
Thanks, Kerrie! I've actually worn it so much that I've broken the straps, but I just keep stitching them back on because I love it too much :) Glad you enjoyed the yummy food tour!
i would love to travel with you guys. to try all that yummy food and see all these wonderful places. :)
Hah it's definitely super delicious 👍👍😍👌💥
Thank you both for all the info I have learned from all trips you have taken and shared with us.
Great video; would you mind letting us know where you had each dishes. I plan to go to Costa Rica for my honeymoon soon
Coast Rican food looks so good😋love from Mexico
Mango peel is edible FYI... It's more about preference but it is absolutely edible
Please, Tell me that you tried the Ceviche, 'Rice n Beans', and Seafood soup... these 3 are very common around the country but specially delicious in Limón. Special mention to the Italian Pizza and Gelato that you can have around Puerto Viejo, those 2 are delicious also, even if their are not made by locals... Italians, Germans and French they've been part of the town's culture in the last years.
My area of my folks love it
Gallo Pinto, Ceviche and Fruit are pretty universal across Spanish territories
I love my delicious country food, I miss it.
Okay I'm going to stop watching your video because I'm Costa Rican and I live in California and you guys are making me freaking hungry.
Go Costa Rica🇨🇷
so nice place to fly !
The chicken has caribbean style sauce on it. They put the chicken in a bowl with all the seasoning, then pour some oil in a frying pan with a couple of sugar spoons, when the sugar is brown they add the chicken and fried till is brownish color, then add some coconut milk, thyme, dice tomato, chilli pepper and onion. Finally add an entire scotch bonnet pepper and let all cook till is done. This last added pepper cannot be broken otherwise the food will get really hot.
You forgot the allspice (Pimienta de Jamaica), that's where the flavor comes from.
You need to put salsa lizano in the gallo Pinto. :)
Angie Elena that’s a facttt
But just a touch. Too much and it overpowers the food.
SALUDOS A TODOS EN PUNTA ARENAS....PURA VIDA
Fruits are delicious. Salad, too.
In Costa Rica there are two types Rice and Beans:
Gallo pinto tico style made with black beans as opposed to the rest of Central america(they use red beans) and salsa lizano.
Rice and Beans made in the Caribbean coast with coconut milk.
We did end up trying the coconut milk rice, it was 👌
U guys are guinean. I enjoyed yr video. It was pleasant & nice.✌
I have found the best mangos at Asian food stores. I've never gotten a bad one.
Gallo Pinto is Costa Rican Beans and Rice made with Lizana salsa, Your breakfast was Gallo Pinto con huevos con jamón. if your bringing something home bring Lizana salsa
Edwarda Speziale lizano
Thanks for the advice and background to everything you are experiencing. My boyfriend and I are are heading to Costa Rica mid April. I cant wait to eat literally everything. We thought about staying in Cahuita but we are looking for an Airbnb in Puerto Viejo to be a bit more in the mix of things. Would you say you prefered one city over the other?
That's amazing!!! You're going to love it! Cahuita is definitely way more laid back so I think you made the right choice with Puerto Viejo. It's just as beautiful, but with many more food/shopping options and nightlife. Plus, if you want to go to Cahuita, it's a really quick and easy bus ride :) Have so much fun!
City? Town.
The food is so tasty in Costa Rica
Yup fruits contains Fructose, it’s practically sugar with vitamins
Any ceviche? That's my favorite. Peruvian style, lime!
All forms of ceviche has lime, that's how the fish gets cooked without heat. The citric acid does all the work.
Hi there, love your videos. I was wondering what camera you use the most for the vlogging? The Sony or the Canon? The quality is absolutely amazing.
I live in Costa Rica by the way. :)
Thanks a lot! We use the Sony a7ii. We actually sold our G7X :/ But other than that we carry a GoPro :D
Thanks so much for replying! Enjoy the rest of your traveling :)
The Endless Adventure EXCELLENT VIDS GUYS...... WELL DONE, MUCH RESPECT !!! 😋
Nice to ask the difference between a green ( not ripe) double fried salty platano verde, and a very ripe fried sweet plantain. " Casados" means married because it is a traditional dish where "rice and beans are always served together" i.e.,
nicely done
Thanks!
Love Costa Rica food! See my Costa Rica food pics here > www.leaningtraveler.com/costa-rica/things-to-do/culture/food.html #CostaRica
