Posted on Google Matthias EnglhardtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a cooking class and really liked it! Nicaraguan food is not only out rice and beans, it's much more. And you can experience it here. You also go to the market and try local stuff and buy your ingredients. Also can totally recommend the drinks and the coffee if you don't do a cooking class.Posted on Google Jose NavarroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
