This is a delicious dish of deep-fried cassava, or yucca root, which is slightly sweet and quite chewy. The cassava is cut into wedges and then fried. Some people prefer to boil it. It can be served with pepescas (a small type of fish, which is fried), or with chicharrón (deep-fried pork cracklings, which are actually fried in their own oil). It may also be served with tomato sauce and curtido (fermented cabbage salad).

This unique soup contains cow’s feet, tripe, and tendons. This is mixed with spices, corn, cassava, and vegetables, including cabbage and carrots. It is the perfect choice if you’re trying to get rid of a hangover. This is why it is commonly sold at weekends. Although it may be unattractive to foreigners, it is a delicious and nutritious meal. The soup is commonly sold in local markets.

The meat is first marinated in orange juice, oil, sliced onions, and different seasonings. It is then grilled over an open fire. It is served with fried beans, fried plantain, fresh cheese, grilled vegetables, and chirimol. Chirimol is an acidic vegetable side dish. It is made of diced tomatoes, onions, and fresh coriander leaves and it can be seasoned with lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and even pepper.
