More info: Costa Rican cuisine is known for being tasty, yet fairly mild, with high reliance on fresh fruit and vegetables. The main staple, known as gallo pinto, consists of rice and beans. Gallo pinto is also known in some southern areas of Costa Rica as burra; though still recognized the name is rarely used. Also, Costa Rican gallo pinto is made with black beans, while Nicaraguans use red beans traditionally.
