My daughter and I really delicious meal at Nectar on La Calzada! The street was busy and lively, and we loved the vibrant atmosphere. For appetizers we had some tostones & cheese, crispy plantains topped with fresh cheese and salsa (so so good, perfect for sharing), and the comforting tortilla soup, full of flavor and topped with avocado and crispy strips. The portions where big!
For our main course, we enjoyed the tostada salad, a crispy tortilla filled with rice, beans, chicken and avocado. It had a perfect mix of flavors and textures. The jalapeño chicken, a traditional Nicaraguan dish, was cooked just right and served with rice, potatoes, and salad, with just the right amount of spiciness. We tried this dish in several places and this was our favorite version.

Watch for unusual billing and be sure to keep a menu to ensure you are...
Read moreHorrible experience! We ordered food over the phone, were told an amount and then when the driver got here it was double the price. The prices also didn’t match those of their online menu. Both the driver and our hotel manager were shocked by how much they were charging for 2 dishes. The driver, who was from an external delivery company, said it wasn’t the first time they tried to overcharge tourists. The staff was unkind and unhelpful and when we asked that they send us the menu with these prices they told the driver to return with the food.
