From the video

First Time in Costa Rica!! 🇨🇷 COSTA RICAN STREET FOOD Tour in San Jose!!First Time in Costa Rica!! 🇨🇷 COSTA RICAN STREET FOOD Tour in San Jose!! · Mark Wiens

Mark Wiens began his Costa Rican food tour in San Jose by drinking Fresco de Mote, a jelly-like medicinal beverage used to prepare the stomach for a day of eating. He was particularly impressed by the Gallo Pinto at Mercado Central, which was served as a massive, nutrient-dense packet wrapped in a banana leaf. Mark loved the combination of the springy fried cheese and the acidic kick from the spicy chilera topping.
