In my
week there (the first half of spring break), I found this to be
fairly true — when we weren't eating Americanized burritos or (surprisingly good) pizza, the majority of our meals were platters composed of white rice, black beans, coleslaw or pickled vegetables, thick white cheese, slightly sour and tender golden fried plantains and perhaps grilled fish from sodas, or small cafeterias selling «
typical» Costa Rican food.
