When Mile does the head shake or nod, you know it’s good.

We travel to Costa Rica every year. Their food is hands down the best we have eaten on any vacation and we have traveled the world.

I mean...I don't know about anyone else, but the first dish I always think of when I consider a Costa Rican breakfast is a chunky chocolate blizzard 😅

Never thought you'd ever go to Costa Rica! The cuisine, while much simpler than it's neighbors, is rooted in using the freshest and best ingredients, which makes everything taste amazing. I hope you make it to the Central market in San Jose, which opened in 1880 and has some of the best food in the country. Also across the street from it is a butcher shop that has the best fried chicken I've ever had!

OMG! You visited my country! Glad to have you here Mike, hope you come again soon! Pura vida!

Costa Rica is my parents homeland!! So excited watching this breakfast

Mike!! I am very happy that you are in my country Costa Rica!! Fast food restaurants in Costa Rica are generally very beautiful and very clean, perhaps because people go to the restaurant to eat and not like here in the USA where people only order for takeout … And yes, McDonald's chicken is a star here among the “Ticos”. I hope you have a great time in my little country. I live in Florida and I miss it so much!!!

My man describing Mcdonals food like a 5 star restaurant 😂 and also mayo ketchup is basically thousand island dressing !!

Amazing fast foods in Costa Rica ! It would be nice to have those pies ! Mikey you are amazing how much you share foods from fast foods to Michelin star restaurants ! thank you for sharing !

That is the current standard McDonald's corporate decor style. We just had one near my house in LA remodeled and it looks exactly like that. Same furniture etc.

Wow, I love the big, juicy patties..in Germany they are usually thin and on the drier side. This is why I usually eat chicken, because you can choke on the beef patties 🤣

Hes always like "these chhhhhunks are shhhho jhhhhuicy and shhhhweet"

So incredibly happy you're here in Costa Rica. Enjoy your stay and Pura Vida! ❤🇨🇷

Yucca fries are delicious!!! My sisters all have husbands/ex-husbands from el Salvador, Honduras, Mexico and we all love Puruvian chicken with rice and yucca 🤤😋❤️

My business partner lives in CR. Gallo Pinto is my all time favorite breakfast. Hope you get to try it. Enjoy the country.

when he snapped open that Blackberry pie it I knew it was gonna be good

I love the rodeo burger ours doesn’t have it on the menu anymore but they will still make it if you ask. :) and ranch is good on everything :) burgers, fries, onion rings. All kinds of things :) Ketchup and Mayo also great for the fries we do that too :)

I’m confused 🫤 on the grill cheese, but everything else looks delicious 😋

Hey Mike, I don't know if you're still here in Costa Rica, but you should definitely visit Barrio Escalante. It's supposed to be a fancy, cultural and gastronomic place where you can find different establishments with all types of food.

Best chicken he has ever had everywhere he has it

I can truly say whether Mikey was "fooled" or paid by the foreign representation or not that I have never EVER heard a U. S McDonalds described as "beautiful"

@Goldenkitten1

6 ай бұрын

I think the implication of using "beautiful" was more along the lines of "clean". Usually when I go to a local McDonalds (even in nicer places) there's junk needing to be mopped all over the floor and half the tables are dirty with leftovers, and the less said about the bathrooms the better. They may have a similar layout but the care taken in maintaining it makes all the difference.

So happy to see you here in Costa Rica! I’ve been wanting you to visit for years! Welcome

Hey Mike hope you are enjoying or enjoyed Costa Rica, Pura Vida!

Now I want to try this McDonalds

Not him calling creama butter

Hey Mike, I am glad that you are enjoying Costa Rica. I recommend that you visit "Puerto Viejo" is one of the most touristic places that Costa Rica has, and with more culture of the same, there you will find all the typical food that you want. Hope you enjoy each second here! Pura vida!

I love McDonald's breakfast in Costa Rica! Yuca fries looked awesome! I gotta try next time I visit Costa Rica!

Mike, If you like ranch with your onion rings, you should try zesty sauce :) its sooooo good and was my dads favorite

I don't know how true this is but I've heard that many of these companies only develop their foreign business. So we can expect to see the big chains exactly where they were thirty years ago while their offerings in other countries will keep getting better

It's usually because it's handled by a branch of McD's for example thats native to the country. The same McDs in the US isn't directly managing the ones abroad hence why they're different in the first place to cater to the local market and may bring out limited edition items or be a bit more daring with their choices.

That’s nice there in Costa Rica McDonald’s with rice and beans , others love it so much , from Houston

This is making me hungry! I shouldn't be watching this right before going to bed...

Let´s gooooooo, never imagined that you we re going to come here

OMGGG, I was just in Costa Rica last week. We had a blast, but surprising food costs were around the same price as the states. Ubers are cheap AF in Costa Rica tho!

how amazing that ur in my country!!!!!! love u !!!

3:57 that's not butter, that's natilla(sour cream) we(Costa Ricans) eat it with the gallo pinto or tortillas. We don't spread it, we pour it.

it will never not be weird to me seeing fried chicken on mc donalds

I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous at all. 😭

Mayo+Ketchup+Tabasco = Cocktail Sauce

so happy to have you in our country!

Surprised they have gallo pinto now on McDonalds, even more surprised they used cilantro for it back when I lived in CR they mostly used culantro coyote or culantro (also commonly used in Panama) which is more flavorful than regular cilantro/coriander.

Thank's Mike introducing the Burger King in Costa Rica because I love very much the Burger King food in Whopper and Onion Rings rather than eat in McDonald's.I only can find two Burger King restaurants in Hong kong here,one is in the Hong Kong International Airport and the other one is on The Peak in Hong Kong Island.

Fried chicken at McDonald's looked great the french fry onion rings and hash browns together looked great at Burger ❤

Just missing the Lizano salsa for the Gallo Pinto. 😋

Lol. If I ate all that food in a day my digestive system would shut down. But I normally eat very little. Much less than I should I guess.

Mike since you are in Costa Rica you should come to Panama to know the Panama Canal and the tradicional food here!
