What Is a Casado? Costa Rica's Everyday Lunch
The plate every Tico knows — and how to order it at Breeze.
The casado is Costa Rica's everyday lunch: one plate, everything on it. The name means "married", and one popular story says it's the kind of complete, home-style meal a married person would be served at home.
What's on the plate
- White rice and black beans
- A fresh salad
- Picadillo — a chopped vegetable side that changes daily
- Sweet fried plantain (maduro)
- Your choice of protein
