A traditional breakfast in Costa Rica consists of rice and beans, scrambled eggs, fried plantains and tortillas.

However, because of the increasing tourism industry, lots of locations in Costa Rica have Americanized food such as pancakes and French toast. Even the menus are in both Spanish and English a lot of times, which makes ordering easy but immersion into the culture difficult. Another downside of tourism is the inflation of restaurant prices when we travel. Luckily, I spend most of my time in a small town called Atenas which is not a major tourist attraction so the prices are low and the food is more traditional! Que rico (yummy)!
