After arriving back in Masatepe on my way to the national capital, Managua, I set out to explore a local market and eat a local favorite. Come with me as I try some rustic Nicaraguan food and go on a market tour in Masatepe, Nicaragua!
My fried and guide Carlos from Visit Nicaragua and I could only do this adventure on a Sunday, as it’s the only day they make sopa de gallina, or rooster soup!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/...
We’d be eating at El Lomo y La Costilla, a restaurant that’s right across the street from El Rancho del Mondongo, which I ate at a few days earlier. They also grill chicken, pork ribs, and more! Inside, they sell sausages, maduros, nacatamales, Gallo pinto, and more!
The restaurant was rustic and spacious. I got to see them make the soup, which contains chiyote, corn, cassaba, chipotle, and dumplings. I watched her knead the corn dough and add an egg, achiote, and salt. Then, she added mint, spring onions, garlic, and shredded chicken!
Then, she forms the dough into balls and drops them right into the soup. Then, it cooks for five more minutes, and then it’s ready. Then, I went up to the front and got some ribs, the tongue, and plantains.
The lady even fed me some. It was so tasty and the tongue was super tender! I loved it! Meanwhile, our soup was ready. It looked incredible!
The broth was rich and flavorful. There were also lots of vegetables. The dumplings made it resemble matzo ball soup! It was a unique corn and chicken dumpling, and the soup was massive! I loved eating it with tortillas on the side!
The chicken dumplings were so hearty. We added some extra chilies to give it more of a kick. I loved the rooster meat, which was so tender and full of flavor. It felt really healthy! There was also a big piece of squash in the soup, as well as some corn on the cob. It was now one of my favorite soups in Nicaragua!
Next, I jumped on the ribs. It wasn’t actually ribs, but the meat behind the ribs. Carlos added some onion and chilies. It was smoky, tender, and juicy, and the onions and spice from the peppers boosted it to the next level! It also wasn’t too salty, so the natural flavor came out.
I liked making little sandwiches with the tostones and the meat! Then, finally, we drank the rest of the broth from our bowls. Then, we left and headed for an artisanal market!
Masatepe is the cultural capital of Nicaragua and is famous for their furniture makers, who I’d bought some stuff from a few days earlier. We arrived at Centro Cultural Antiguo Mercado de Masaya, which dates back to 1888. It looked liken old fortress!
Inside, I could see people selling clay sculptures of chubby women, masks, clothes, wooden bowls, jewelry boxes, paintings, and more. I loved the jewelry boxes! It was handmade. I also saw some amazing masks I liked!
Other vendors sold leather belts and bags, hammocks, magnets, and more. I got a hammock for about $12 USD. Elsewhere I saw more dresses, bags, and more sold by an awesome woman who spoke a little English!
Then, we stopped at a local bar for a Toña beer with some local gentlemen! It was really refreshing and only cost 37 cordobas or about $1 USD!
Finally, we he drove to the top of Masaya Volcano, which is nearby. The entry fee is 150 Cordoba/around $5 USD during the day and 350 Cordoba/$10 USD at night.
There’s a huge crater and a lookout point where you can look down into it! It’s so hot! This is the only volcano in the world you can drive up to! Then, we got got fresh coconuts from a vendor and drank the refreshing water inside.
Finally, we walked up the steps to the huge cross at the very top! We had 360-degree views of the volcano, countryside, and Masaya!

Keep those videos coming my friend, The world is not such a bad place after all.
That was not a soup .. that was a FEAST .-))) looked soooooo tasty and hearty .-)))
David I'm fascinated with all these videos. I appreciate how humble and respectful you are towards my people. I love that you trully explore the culture through the streets and support the local vendors. Your facial expressions when you taste the foods are epic...😂 me and my husband are literally almost drooling watching these videos. Thank you for visiting Nicaragua.

You’ve conquered every nica you’ve met with your kindness and enthusiasm. It’s so much fun to watch you eat. You are wonderful!!!
Hearing them playing the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack in the background in the bar. First Patrick Swayze then Eric Carmen. Great video as usual David. I am definitely going to Nicaragua for my next vacay.
Everyone who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, the doubt exit your mind right now. May replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life ❤❤❤❤

Love my Nicaraguan food. So nice to see you are enjoying the food of my country.
David … I’ve been watching every video on your visit to Nicaragua. I have to say …. I’m drooling here looking at those meals. It’s been 40 years since I left Nicaragua and now I’m considering taking a short trip just to have a chance of eating authentic Nicaraguan food. Delicious 😋 !!

Thank you for visiting my hometown David! 🥺🥺🥺❤️
Gracias x visitar y mostrar la exelent.Gastronomia .Mucha varieridad de comidas Nicaraguenses .Ya me dio hambre .Sopita de albondigas y lenguacen salsa 😋👍
👍🏼 You make such great videos, David. I travel through your lens.
I'm here again. Thanks for visiting my town one more time. As well, I'm glad you followed my request for giving a try to this soup. Now, just in case you arrive to Diriamba, there are different beaches; however, the most famous one is named 'La Boquita'. The beach is pretty nice and if you take a walk you may see some rocks where you can take amazing pictures. One last thing, if you think of having lunch there I recommend you a restaurant called 'Sandy's' it's a two floors kiosk and the fish soup is another world there. It should be called '7 mares' at any seafood restaurant you visit here.
Aww TREMENDO VIDEO BUENA LA SOPA ME DIO HAMBRE SALUDOS DE QUEENS NEW YORK FELICIDADES BUEN CONTENIDO
Lengua is my favorite Nicaraguan dish Hands down!! ❤❤❤
Thank you much for your videos from Nicaragua and our foods... I myself am from Granada, haven't been out there in over 40 years.
What an amazing market such beautiful craftmanship and artist.great skills.
La verdad es una delicia la comida Nicaraguense es una explosion de sabores unicos
Thanks for the video. Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!
Blessings, thanks for visiting and enjoying our country. Seriously i got so hungry watching you eat and my mouth was watery. I bet most people watching go the same feeling LOL
Man I like your videos, thank you for promoting nicaraguan food.
Wow that was awesome customer service there at that restaurant
Qué deliciosa esa sopa de gallina!
Hi David. Fantastic videos :) I just wanted to clarify that’s not really rooster in the soup, it is technically hen. In Nicaragua they call it “native hen soup” or sopa de gallina india.
You did visit el mirador where you can see the lagoon de apoyo
I miss my country… I Need at least a month long vacation there
Visited Nicaragua my self and the country gets a bad rap . It’s people are so friendly and kind and the food is outstanding.
Masatepe con su gran gastronomia y su gente sus artesanias sus dulces sus tamugas sus nacaramales y su ayaco
if u go to the big island of hawaii has a drive to valcano with a 1/4 mile hike, 1 of my friends almost walked backwards on to the molten lava
Ngl that soup looks really good.

It's easy to confuse a plantain with a banana they look alike. However, they taste different. Bananas can be eaten raw or you can make a dessert, milkshake, etc. On the other hand, plantain can be boil or fried. For example, we nicaraguans fried plantaine to make tostones. By the way, plantain cannot be eaten raw.

Najib Hourany. The difference between plantain n banana is that plantain is bigger n is for cooking, n banana is a fruit you don't cook it. The plantain u can fry it or boil it n eat it with food l do it all the time. The banana just eat it.
Albondigas llevan pollo desmenusado tambien, sin duda hay variantes, algunos no llevan yucas mas que la sopa de res o mondongo
NICARAGUA CHICKEN BALLS YUMMY 😋
Excellent job
