Huembes Mercado in Managua has everything; we all know that. But many of us don't have a chance to appreciate the amazing prepared food that is available at the many tiny restaurants and cafes within the Mercado walls.
The hot food was the most appetizing to me -- stews and soups of all description! Couldn't be more delicious! A nutritious meal is around 20 to 50 cords, and ranges from a simple lunch to a veritable feast! Of course sweets and cakes and pastries, as well as refrescos and coffee were also available to round out a wonderful meal.
Strolling mariachi bands would sometimes wander through, playing a song for a sweetheart!
The women who prepared the food were often small businesswomen, and ran the food stalls with family help. I enjoyed wandering the aisles and sniffing the delicious aromas!
