Where should I eat in Costa Rica? The simple answer is go where the locals go. In any country a restaurant’s mark of excellence is how busy they are. You will probably find that there are an incredible array of options when it comes to food: European, 
Mediterranean, Asian, American, and local. How can you choose? Here are two local favorites that are sure to impress:
Restaurant Las Delicias del Maiz is famous for their delicious corn dishes and pork BBQ. They are located in La Garita de Alajuela on the road to Jaco beach. This open air log cabin is decorated by typical Costa Rican ox carts, and wood sculptures. The atmosphere is relaxed and the scenery is beautiful. The best part of this restaurant however, is the food. They offer all the typical Costa Rican dishes, like Casado (rice and beans, plantains, salad and your choice of meat), arroz con pollo(chicken with rice), and seafood, but they are most famous for their inventive corn dishes. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and their phone number is (506) 2433-7206.
However, if you’re looking for the best seafood around, El Banco de los Mariscos is regarded by most locals as the best seafood restaurant in all of Costa Rica. Personally, it’s my favorite. It’s located 500 meters west of the plaza in Santa Barbara, Heredia. They serve a wonderful Tilapia, as well as their famous lobster in garlic butter sauce. The choices are endless and everything is cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is large, the decoration is simple, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Anyone can enjoy a perfect meal for a very reasonable price. For more information call: (506) 2269 9090.
Costa Rican food is one of the best things about Costa Rica. Eat with the locals and enjoy good food and good times. You will not be disappointed.
