San Juan del Sur Restaurants :: Local Flavor

Our favorite local Nicaraguan restaurants are all located along the Avenida de la Bahia or Beach Front Road. Order fresh seafood, chicken, beef, and of course cold beers and Nica Libres while you watch the sunset

• Josseline's – directly in front of the Casa Marina condominiums, the only high-rise building in town on the south end of Avenida de la Bahia
  
  
• El Timon – at the end of the entrance road to town (Calle del Tropezon)
  
  
• El Buen Gusto – directly in front of the Hotel Estrella and Hotel Estacion
  

If you are looking for something more casual and inexpensive try the market in the center of town which is open for breakfast and lunch or enjoy a street-side dinner at one of the “Chicken Ladies”. There are two main Chicken Ladies who prepare and sell food from in front of their homes. One is located on the market street, just east of the market, and the other is on the southwest corner of the central park and church.  Chicken Ladies serve freshly grilled chicken and meat with traditional side dishes like cabbage salad, gallo pinto, and fried plantains for a few dollars, and are open for dinner only.
