What is a typical Costa Rican dinner? Is it always a hot meal?
Instead of having a large dinner, Costa Ricans often have coffee with bread, pastries, cheese and jam, also known as cafecito around 3:00 p.m. and have a light, hot dinner around 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. The dinner usually consists of rice, black beans, meat and salad. In Costa Rica lunch is the main meal.
