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

An awesomely authentic Costa Rican restaurant. We tried just about everything on the menu and even though we were full we had to keep trying more. The staff was so friendly and took great care of our late group with ease. The gallitos say they serve 3 people but man we sure served more than that with them and they were absolutely incredible. Only oddity was that my beer came with ice in it.

I visited this place twice in one week. The first time, I received terrible service, but I thought it might just be due to the server. However, I returned today and experienced the same, if not worse, service. To make matters worse, the employees were having a meeting right in front of the guests and ignoring everyone. What is going on?

The Location and the Ambience is excellent, We went for the breakfast. The food was delicious and crossed our expectation. The staff was very friendly, the place is clean and has a small garden where you can relax. It is bit expensive but totally worth. I will recommend to have food at this restaurants while going towards Poas Volcano.

Delicious food, fair pricing and nice location. I rarely had such a soft piece of beef on my plate. Tastewise, everything was amazing and fresh. Preparation wise, it could’ve been better, but the taste really made up for it. As in the area they have fresh strawberries, definitely get yourself some juice or smoothie as they’re really delicious. The location is spacious and cozy at the same time. Staff was nice and helpful.

The food is ACTUAL LITERAL HEAVEN! The place is super cute and idyllic, and the server is incredibly sweet. Every single item from the dishes to the beverages (the strawberry milkshake OMG!!!!!!) is absolutely fresh, tasty and amazingly flavorful and just done so right in every single possible way. These people absolutely know what they are doing. Best best best. EAT HERE!!! Even if you have to drive for an hour. You will be so so so happy afterwards.

The food is Amazing. The tortilla alineada is a must. The casados are really big and delicious. The service is really good. The view is nice, there's a big garden. It's really crowded in the weekends but on weekdays there's almost nobody. Recommended.

Excellent well priced food with a lovely garden to take pictures of local flora and kids to run around. They even have hammocks set up; however, check the knots so you don't fall down. Definitely recommend it.
