Il Padrino – Classic Italian Restaurant in Rohrmoser

If your looking for an Italian restaurant with the “old school” feel and taste of Italy this is the place for you.  A nice find in San Jose.

Machu Pichu - San Jose , Paseo Colon – Peruvian

A nice Peruvian restaurant, not my favorite but all around reasonable.  A tribute to their third place finish - congratulations Peru.  Price is fair, worth a try.   In business for at least the past 20 years which says a lot.  Location is a little odd considering it is located near Central San Jose.  Parking is adjacent with a “watch man".  Considering everything, this place is OK.

Nikklas - Gyros and Hummus - South Sabana - San Jose – Greek

We have been coming to Nikklas’s restaurant since it opened and will continue to come.  The lamb wraps are excellent, the vege burger uniquely tasty and the hummus is the best for a restaurant in Costa Rica.  If your looking for a good Sunday afternoon Greek fix this is the place.

INKA Grill - Santa Ana and Escazu, Costa Rica - Peruvian

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).

Time Out Restaurant – Sports Bar and Restaurant in Escazu

If your looking for a sports bar environment, one of the best, with excellent food and beers including Costa Rican home brews then you will definitely not go wrong.

Was on Holiday/Vacation this week. Will have new post by tonight.

Got caught up in the hustle of traveling (Spirit Airlines - unfortunately) and didn't get access to a computer.  Will update by midnight tonight.  A tasty bar/restaurant with great portions, excellent flavors and the best sports watching location in Costa Rica (except maybe a sports casino).

Doris Metropolitan - A great steak house! - Santa Ana

Doris Metropolitan – an EXCELLENT Steak restaurant. 

Our comments are “SOLO GOOD” – try this place, it doesn’t get better.  I don’t think there is a better steak restaurant in Costa Rica.  Big words but true.  Go to the web page and their description under the Restaurant tab is “spot on”. 

La Fiesta del Maiz – Costa Rican style restaurant - La Garita, Alajuela

If you are looking for local Costa Rican food try someplace else.  If your starving after a long ride from the beach drive a few hundred meters more for some real “tico” food.  

New World Restaurant - Escazu - MYA

 

Located on the south side of the road between San Rafael, Escazu and the Paco Commercial centerin Plaza Obelisco.  MYA was a very plreasant surprise.  I will continue to return in the future and try to taste the range of items on the menu but for my first trip and my second (the following day) it was refreshingly different and very good.

Fish Restaurant in Avenida Escazu - Product C

Located in Avenida Escazu, Product C was a huge disappointment.  I will try it several more times in the future and try to taste the range of items in the menu but for my first trip it was not what I expected. 

Clearly I didn't know what I was asking for when I ordered the Chorizo de Scallops.  I thought I was in a "Fish Restaurant" not a meat restaurant.  Lets get to the point(s).
