Tiki Bus Terminal Cafeteria: Searching for Breakfast

  • My Breakfast at the Tiki Bus Terminal - Managua
    My Breakfast at the Tiki Bus
    Terminal
    by Stephen-KarenConn

    On my first morning in Managua I was eager to explore to city and also hungry for breakfast. I decided to take a walk around town, expecting to find a suitable restaurant. More than one hour and 25 blocks later I was hungrier than ever and still had found no place to eat - not a single open restaurant of any kind. I passed a couple of restaurants that I had seen the afternoon before, but they did not open until lunch. I stopped at least a half dozen people on the sidewalk and asked if there were any restaurants nearby. The kind folks directed me to three or four places but they were also closed.

    I began to wonder- do the people of Nicaragua eat breakfast? My imagined answer to my own question is that in this desperately poor country - the second poorest in the Western Hemisphere - relatively few people eat in restaurants at all. Although I am sure there must be places in Managua that serve breakfast, I didn't find any.

    I remembered that the Tica Bus Hotel where I was staying had a "cafeteria" so I returned there. The Tica Cafeteria consists of only a small glass case with a few pastries in it and another refrigerated case with bottled and canned drinks. I'm sure they must have a coffee pot too, but I never did like coffee. I've always preferred something cold to drink - and especially so in a hot climate like that of Managua. In the cases I found a pastry that resembled a chicken pot pie and a fruit drink with mango juice. The cost of both was less than two dollars US, and it held me over until lunch when I found an open restaurant.

    Pollo Estrella: Nicaragua's answer to KFC
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Pollo Estrella is a Central American fast food chain which specializes in fried chicken. The also offer other dishes such as Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken and Rice). The restaurant pictured here was only about three blocks from my hotel and I ate here on the second evening that I was in Managua. Only a couple of other diners were eating at the same time, between 6 and 7 p.m. There were a couple of delivery motorcycles parked in front of the restaurant, but I saw them make no deliveries. I don't know if this means that the place was hurting for business, or that most folks in Managua eat either earlier or later.

    The service was good and my fried chicken was very tasty - almost as good as Colonel Sander's original recipe, which happens to be my favorite. It was served with French fried potatoes, cole slaw and a roll. I have seen KFC outlets in many countries of the world, but I saw none in Nicaragua.

    In the photo of the restaurant note the armed guard at the front door, watching the move of every passer by.
