Fast Food restaurants in Central America

  1. A

    @ E's

    This restaurant and bar at Rocking J’s is much more than just a travelers hang-out. Run by a Cordon Bleu–trained chef, Eric, the menu is a pan-everything fusion of Thai, Mexican and US cuisine – covering the gamut from burgers to stir-fries as well as fancier dishes, like seared marlin.

  2. Creole Rotisserie Chicken

    Super tasty roast chicken is served in quarter-, half-, or whole-bird portions at this small, open-air eatery, along with large sides of rice, beans, potato salad or coleslaw for a buck and change each. The fish fingers don’t disappoint, either. This is a longtime backpacker haunt, but you don’t have to be on a budget to appreciate the good food.

    King Burger

    No relation to the chain restaurant of the reversed name, King Burger serves reliably fresh though somewhat mediocre breakfasts of eggs, beans and fryjacks for BZ$6.50, as well as hamburgers and plates of fried shrimp. Coffee is instant, but juices are fresh.

    Pollosa

    Pollosa is renowned among locals for juicy, delectable rotisserie chicken, but it also has a good selection of salads, sandwiches and spaghetti. Take-away is available, making this is an excellent option for picnicking.

    Pepín Burger

    Come here, between 8a and 9a Avs, for an almost mind-boggling array of snacks, fajitas, good-value burgers and more serious meals on an open-air upstairs terrace.

  8. Tacomex

    Tex-Mex fast food comes blunted for the sensitive Nicaraguan palate but tasty nonetheless; try the 'gringa,' like a quesadilla, with salsa inside.
