Restaurante Chubascos

The 21 Best Restaurants in San José, Costa Rica | Eater

"The daytime-only institution started out as a small hut in 1982. Today, the rustic wood cabin set amid the lush natural forest near the Poás Volcano is a must-visit. Enjoy a cup of Costa Rica’s world-famous coffee before embarking on a day of hiking the volcano. There are famed Tico breakfasts like gallo pinto, gallotes (large filled tortillas), gallitos (tortillas filled with savory stews), and arepas, but most come here for the casados, a “pura vida” platter of rice and beans with eggs, cheese, picadillo (chopped meat), salad, and your selection of stewed meat." - Bill Esparza
