McDonald’s & KFC Food Items I’ve NEVER Tried Before in Costa Rica

Hey guys Mike J, here in San Jose, Costa Rica, I'm taking it easy today, I'm just going to walk around town, so I thought I'd make today a fast

food

and most chain

food

day. fast food are represented here in Costa Rica and the biggest difference I notice is that if you look at the reviews of fast food chains here, they are really high and I found some really unique foods on the local menus, so we'll start with breakfast and McDonald's, this McDonald's is beautiful it's so clean it's immaculate it's well decorated it's modern it's so cute this is my McDonald's breakfast here in Costa Rica let me show you what I have this is a luxury breakfast plate with guo pinto which is the national food of Costa Rich plantan fried scrambled eggs, sausage, I can't wait to dig into this it came with some omelette, then I bought a very thin little cheese sandwich, look how thin it is, I mean it's as thin as a roller coaster, some hash browns and a cheesecake from McDonald's, but I have To start with this, this is called Gua mcfur guaya is a Costa Rican chocolate that has guava in it.

Oh, I also got a crunchy shake. The mcfl is already a little melted, but on top are these chocolate pieces. There is guava inside. I assume this also has guava syrup on the side. This is incredible. First of all, the chocolate is really good, very chocolatey, but once you bite into it, you get a burst of that sweet and sour guava. There is also chocolate syrup here. a solid MC 10 out of 10. Also, I've

never

had a shake at McDonald's before. This is a crunchy chocolate bar shake. Oh, that stuff is very thick. How can I not love this Crunch bar?

One of the best chocolate bars ever made. One of my favorites. in a shake, this is very interesting, a McDonald's grilled cheese sandwich, basically the size of a pancake. I mean, this is really simple, it's a piece of cheese between what looks like a compressed hamburger bun and I mean, really compressed, and that's a really compressed hamburger bun. clever way to reuse food and McDonald's is the king of doing this in this case take a hamburger bun squeeze the daylight out of it place a piece of cheese inside a new sandwich I am very excited about this Stu, the deluxe breakfast plate It is one reason why I love going to fast food restaurants around the world, there is always a food that represents the local country and nothing represents Costa Rica more than this, as I mentioned, this is the national dish of Costa Rica, rice and beans that are usually seasoned with celery and red pepper. cilantro and onion, if you don't know, pinto means spotted rooster, which is really interesting because many local Costa Rican dishes are named after different types of chicken.

I already

tried

this dish yesterday when I had it for the first time and Actually, McDonald's has really done it justice, the beans have a nice texture, not only does the whole puree have a really nice flavor, you can definitely taste the celery and cilantro, the Best way I could describe the seasoning, it's fresh, it's very herbaceous and a little bit of cumin basically it's another one of those dishes that the more you chew, the more flavor is released, especially from the middle mix that along with some of the plines fried oh the fried PL is so good EG it's surprisingly fluffy and soft this is really great McDonald tortillas two tortillas what you can do is they give you a little butter so I guess you'll add a little butter to the tortilla, you'll add the rice and beans, sausage, eggs, and make a little breakfast burrito or breakfast taco with that.

I'm not sure if it was supposed to add butter, but I mean, they give me a lot of butter, so I guess that's what you do, this is much better than PLO pancakes, since it would be a hash brown that It's a sensational bite, omelette LIC and sweet on the other hand, the eggs really. really fluffy, my only regret is that I just realized that I didn't add the Plante, which is one of the best McDonald's breakfast bites you'll ever have anywhere in the world, the seasoning for the Pino gyop, which it's something magical, also, after tasting it, not butter, this is a kind of sour cream, this goes very well with gyop pinto, a little acidity, very creamy, so when you wrap everything with a tortilla you get salty, it's sweet and eggy, it's creamy and all the herbs in the gyop pin are kind of like that. ties it all together no wonder fast food in this country is rated so highly after breakfast i have yet to deserve oh cheesecake it always blows me away how anywhere in the world you go different

mcdonald

's have their own unique pie flavors and it's always better than that Apple stuff we have at home, it's basically melted cheese pie and the toasted, crispy, flaky pie crust that is so good, so much better than the Apple version.

We're about 10 minutes away from lunch, so let's see what they have for lunch. so I got a couple of burgers, three pieces of fried chicken, bacon, cheese, fries and I'm really excited about this pineapple pie, yes they have a different pie for breakfast and a different pie for lunch. This fried chicken smells so good, oh this is so good. the juiciest fried chicken I've ever had and it's from McDonald's. You can see the meat glistening under this layer of super crispy skin. This is a piece of chicken chosen F, it is juicy, crispy, the flavor is perfect.

Follow it with some cheese. fries the bacon is crispy the fries are obviously pretty good I don't know if the cheese sauce is supposed to be cold like this but this is a completely cold cheese sauce oh my gosh McDonald's fried chicken the breast though It's usually the driest piece. I'm not here at all loaded with juice and flavor and this thing is better than some of the chicken I've had at KFC. Very surprisingly delicious. This is a double Tika burger that looks like a couple of hamburger-sized patties with onion, tomato, lettuce, and stickiness. cheese the meat patty here in Costa Rica is so good this meat patty is juicy it is so tender loaded with a nice meaty flavor this whole burger is delicious crispy toasted onion pieces sesame cheese this is a delicious burger all the fresh vegetables the texture The meat Patty is fantastic again it doesn't taste like the typical McDonald's meat.

Patty knows much better. I also bought a premium bacon burger. A beautiful giant thick MN burger and huge cuts of bacon inside. I say it all the time. Fast food tastes better outside of the In the US, it really does it again, this is a juicy burger, something I've probably

never

said about McDonald's in the US and the burger is also very thick, yes McDonald's It always tastes like that, I would eat it much, much more. finally dessert pineapple cake sweet and sour pineapple again in that perfectly toasted little crushed sour sweet that was a delicious and really satisfying McDonald's brunch.

It will be at Burger King in Costa Rica, so Burger King here is really interesting. The first thing I noticed is that they have something called a dog purr, which is a bone that you can order for your dog that is supposed to have that classic char grilled flavor that Burger King is known for and I bought a lot of interesting burgers here. First of all, I just wanted to try the typical Whoppers, so I got a Texas burger, a rodeo burger that comes with a crispy onion ring. I think I might have eaten this in the US.

I'm not sure, but I don't think it's there now, they also have a BK Trio. This is where you can get fries and onion rings. I also bought some chicken fries and dipped them in some buffalo sauce and with the BK Trio they give you a packet of ranch. I have a couple of different cakes. One thing that really saddens me is that they had a pineapple pie that looked absolutely amazing, but now they have an apple and a blackberry cheese and this is the most interesting thing you can do with fries, starting with a tahano burger, so this it's bacon, lettuce, tomato, barbecue sauce, beef burger, sesame bun and you can also add a slice of ham here, plus the fact that the bun on the bottom is a little bit cardboard, this is a delicious burger and add that ham inside is such a fantastic move.

Patty, it's juicy, it's spicy, it's cheesy, it has Burger King's iconic flamed boal flavor and the layers of thinly sliced ​​ham add even more smokiness and more flavor to this burger. Having the ham is such a delicious addition. Also, this is from their premium burger line, which means these burgers are half-pound burgers. Mak, it's a heavy, heavy sandwich. This is really interesting for indecisive people like me, who really can't. Decide between fries and tater tots and get all three onion rings. I never did this before. Drain the dressing with onion rings and French fries and tater tots.

Add that to the side and I also got a lot of mayonnaise. I've never done this, but mail it with ketchup. Put the mayonnaise, mix it with a fry, this is because normally I only get fries from my burger, but being able to have the option of the three magics because they taste different, the texture is different, makes it much more interesting. Also dunking it in a ridiculous rench. I had never

tried

this before. The Yuka fries stunk with a wrench dressing. Oh, this is amazing. It's so good that it's definitely denser and starchier than a typical fry-up.

It's richer and definitely has more flavor when you chew. It also has a price. alright, such a light crunch on the outside, on the inside, all that delicious Yuka, this is the XT burger, it's very much like a typical wer again with half a giant PB burger, look at the size of this thing. I love these fast food beef burgers. whether it's McDonald's or Burger King anywhere, it tastes better outside of the US, you really get a lot of that meaty Smoky Flame Grill flavor in every bite of this burger, these chicken fries are so satisfying.

I know we have them in the US. I really like them, one last burger to try, this is the Rodeo Burger, it's practically a burger with barbecue sauce and onion rings on top. I think this is a secret menu item in the US. And if you've never tried it before, onion rings. and a burger you can't go wrong with. I'm really excited about this again. I still wish I could get the pineapple pie, but this blackberry and cheese, oh my goodness, this is so incredibly good, the blackberry is sweet with just a little bit. of acidity, the crushed exterior is so flaky and toasted that you get that nice tart flavor with the rich creaminess of the cheese, all inside that perfectly toasted pastry.

I might like this more than a Whopper House, I really like a good dinner, this Burger King is very clean and nice and what's also really cool is that there is a shopping center right next to this Burger King with a KFC inside , so winner, winner, let's have some chicken for dinner. I also missed another sandwich, there was a tropical spiced chicken sandwich, that's why I wanted it. to come here, unfortunately they don't have that anymore, but what they do have is a new crispy bbq chicken burger, inside the toasted bun is fried onions, bacon, cheese, bbq sauce, a piece of what looks like very chicken , very crispy, as the name suggests.

A very, very crispy chicken sandwich right out of the fryer is crispy, tender, cheesy. I think flavor-wise, it tastes like you'd expect a really good piece of hot, juicy fried chicken with barbecue sauce and fried onions, but everything is executed very, very well in every bite. Here, it will be very crispy. This is the other reason I wanted to come here. KFC in Costa Rica sells a Tres Leges cake and one bite will make you very excited. This is one of the best desert products. to ever appear on a fast food menu is absolute perfection, I mean, it looks like something that wasn't made by KFC, maybe by a Costa Rican joint, the cake is soaked in milk, the cream is deliciously light on top, everyone, chaste, that fluffy cake again. just saturated with that sweet sweet milk oh my gosh yo, this is a dessert to end all desserts.

Cravings, come to KFC and get one of these. This has been a really fun fast food day everywhere I go in the world. I love seeing the place. unique

items

at fast food restaurants in Costa Rica, they got some good stuff and as always, thank you all so much for watching until we eat again, see you later.
