A lunchtime spot in Leon

There is less of a fussy divide in Nicaragua between inside and outside and between who can and cannot cook and sell food. It is quite normal for anyone to prepare a spot of lunch and set up a table outside their house, or invite you inside, to eat it. Typcially, it consists of some sort of stewed meat, beans, tortilla, salad and a fresh fruit drink of something like lime and dragon fruit, all for less than £1. If you have a car, and it fits in the house, then logically, you bring it in too, like in this yummy lunchtime spot in Leon. The kitchen at the back has a double bed in the corner.
