After spending my morning in Rivas, I headed off to San Juan de Sur. Come with me as I enjoy some Nicaraguan street food and enjoy the sights and sounds of San Juan de Sur, Nicaragua!
San Juan de Sur is a beach paradise in southern Nicaragua. It’s just 50 kilometers from the Costa Rican border. It’s beautiful, and it isn’t too touristy. There are lots of locals and street food vendors.

We saw vendors selling elote, sunglasses, and more. I tried on some sunglasses and bought them for 250 Cordobas/roughly $8 USD. Another guy sold personalized keychains. They cost roughly $1.20 each.
Then, we found a vendor selling fried plantains called tajadas. They were a crunchy, light snack, and were very delicious! They’re crispy because they’re so thin!
From there, my guide Carlos from Visit Nicaragua and I followed the boardwalk, which turns into a restaurant strip with some vendors mixed in.
I met a vendor selling some beautiful wood-carved souvenirs, including turtle keychains. I bought one and then played a street game before heading to El Buen Gusto, a gorgeous open-air restaurant on the beach with high ceilings.
In the kitchen, I watched them fry fish and chicken wings. They batter the red snapper in corn flour. They also sell shrimp cocktail with tajadas. They serve the fish whole with tostones, rice, and tajadas.
The shrimp cocktail was fresh and succulent, and came in a nice tomato sauce. It was a little spicy!
The view we had from the restaurant was amazing. We were looking out over the beach. I loved it. There were hotels and restaurants in the area. We could also see a large Christ statue atop a hill across the water!
Then, we put some salsa on top of the snapper. I loved the head, which was so full of meat. The eyes, especially, are really good. The meat was really sweet and extremely tasty!
The tostones were also really nice with the salsa and a bit of the fish. It was a marriage made in heaven! Then, we flipped the fish over and added salsa to it, too!
There was so much meat in the fish, it was unreal! There are lots of great beaches in Nicaragua, including some amazing ones for surfing!
After eating, we explored more. We passed vendors selling ceramics, hats, pupusas, sunglasses, and even paintings! The paintings were amazing and super colorful.
I could see paintings of Marilyn Monroe, sunsets, landscapes, and even some sea turtles! Further on, we found a guy selling swimwear and another selling large Panama hats!
Then, after seeing a large sculpture of a sea turtle, we drove through some wealthy neighborhoods to Jesús de la Divina Misericordia statue. After 10 minutes, we arrived and climbed some steps to the top.
It costs 36 Cordobas/$1 USD for locals and 72 Cordobas/$2 USD for foreigners to visit. The view of the Pacific coast is amazing from there. There’s a balcony that looks over the entire bay and city. It’s stunning!
There’s a platform a little higher up around the base of the statue. The view is unparalleled!
