No need to try unless you want to take some risk. I have “black listed” this restaurant and will not try again unless “strongly encouraged”. Food poisoning, flavors in general are nothing special. I’ll find a better Peruvian for a future review (see below for alternatives).
Located in Escazu and Santa Ana. In Escazu at the commercial center Paco and in Santa Ana behind Forum II.

Food –This review can be summed up into one word – “Blacklisted”
The food is presented very nicely with relatively generous portions. In fact, the food looks delicious. But . . . don’t let the appearance fool you if quality is your objective. I’ve had food poisoning in the Escazu location several years ago and my business partner visiting from the U.S. picked up a bad case of food poisoning yesterday from the Santa Ana location. Take your risk. Oh, the bread (only one style) was served warm and fresh.
Price - Some would say expensive – I think expensive but not outrageously expensive. However, in all cases expensive or not – the price is not worth getting sick. Your paying for the ambiance, relatively good service and easy to find locations, certainly not “Peruvian” food.
Ambiance – Not bad, easy to talk without distractions and clean. The bathrooms in the Santa Ana location are co-located with other businesses as a central bathroom in the “mall” environment and are not what I would consider the model of cleanliness.
The place has both inside dining and outside dining. Both are comfortable
General – I will not go to this restaurant in the future and I will not recommend.
Final Note – Bread and Water you will be OK. Still “blacklisted”.
Alternative Peruvian Restaurants Not Reviewed (stay tuned - we will review soon):

La Fortaleza, which opened in June of 2005; It's on the corner of Calle Central and Avenida 7
