Central America
user ratingBridging North and South America, Central America is an eclectic region influenced primarily by Spanish and Native American cultures. The food scene ranges from deep-fried plantains in Panama, to deep-fried pork skins in Nicaragua. The tropical climate and proximity to water guarantees some of the tastiest fruits and freshest seafood.
