Fritanga Nicaraguan Cuisine

Plenty of open tables for lunch on a Friday, which was surprising because everything was excellent!! The cheese empanadas were ooey gooey and the chimichurri and vinegar-based sauces on the table paired perfectly. I got the Churrasco Nica and my cousin got the Canoa de Maduro with chicken. The food was soooo good and we definitely asked for more chimichurri to dip our sides in! Will definitely be visiting again for more of their friendly service and delicious dishes!

You’re missing out if you’ve never been here. The food is excellent. Very authentic feel. The prices were very reasonable as well.

We loved our lunch of two appetizers from @fritanganica.stl!

Maduros con queso - sweet plantains were perfectly cooked, and this fantastic hunk of cheese was crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside.

Chichiarron de pollo - crispy, deep-fried little chicken drumsticks that came with an herb sauce and a tangy, spicy citrus sauce. Oh, and fried green plantains, too!

They were both so good!

That being said, even though there was only one other couple in the restaurant, it took about 40 minutes to get our food. Seemed kind of long to me!

The flavoring and sauces of the dishes are excellent. I had the shrimp with this jalapeño sauce. Very good! My girl had the chicken, which I snagged a bite of and was good too!
