Takis or Taqueritos - Costa Rica Style [@nli10]

 Ola from Costa Rica!

We are over here for a few weeks trying all the local foods, but also finding familiar friends. They get original recipe Takis Fuego here! A lot of the English stores are using oddly muted imports, but here the lime and fire is in tact - and it has competition 


The biggest seems to be Taqueritos (which may even predate Takis) and it’s a fairly close contest. The flavours are similar enough, but the texture and crunch is much harder (like a Nik Nak) so some will prefer these


They appear to have a lot of the flavours here too so if I can find normal supermarkets and pay under 1000 colones per bag (£1.50) then I might try more - but it’s far too hot really!


OG on the left, crunchy versions on the right.
