Fritanga
A fritanga is a restaurant that makes home-style Nicaraguan foods. The staple foods at a fritanga may include gallo pinto, arroz blanco, carne asada, tajada frita, platano frito, maduros, yuca, queso frito, tortilla and cabbage salad. Fritangas also carry daily specials such as: salpicon, ropa vieja, carne desmenusada, and enchiladas, as well as speciality drinks and desserts/pastries.
