If we only had Casado in the
United States
| Casado con Pollo (chicken), Casado con Chuletas
(pork chops), Casado con Pescado (fish) are wonderful
dishes that can be found throughout Costa Rica. Casado
is basically black beans, white rice, and usually some
sort of salad or vegetable. Ticos usually order some sort
of meat with their casado. Casado is served at most restaurants
during lunch and dinner. |

Some very small restaurants, or Sodas, only
serve casado, other restaurants will have casado as one
of many choices on the menu. Eric and I have grown to
love casado and usually eat it at least once a day. By
the end of the adventure, Pika was getting very tired
of casado and started ordering other dishes when we went
out to eat. However, Eric and I can't get enough of this
great local dish. |

I am hoping that we can find a restaurant in the Chicago
area that serves Casado. I think I am going to go into
Casado withdrawal! If any of your know of a place that
serves Casado in the Chicago area please let us know.
Keep exploring,
Dave
