Yes but the American idea of a taco is not traditional Hispanic food, and especially not representative of the majority of Latin America. Something like Birria or Al Pastor are more representative- and even then those are strictly Mexican (though delicious). The average American’s perception of us is mainly tacos and sombreros.
Traditional dishes are more along the lines of rice and beans, soups, platters, grilled meat, and so on
I noticed that. They all have empanadas, but they’re different in each county. Also ceviche is slightly different everywhere.
I loved gallo pinto for breakfast when I was visiting Costa Rica, shame I’m too lazy to make it at home really.

Gallo pinto is lazy man’s food. You make a huge amount at a time then reheat it over the next few days
