"PS: Gringo,...el banco de los mariscos aint no 10(maybe a 7).
Try el Balcon de los Mariscos in Curridabat"

Been there and the food was great, but the three inch cockroach that landed on the back of my neck definately detoured me from returning for seconds.
True story.

What about the FRIED RICE you had delivered, and when you opened it up, there was a BABY ROACH in it.

QUE RISA, I will never forget the look on your face....
 
Well, while we're on the dark side of food....

a girl at work once got a fried coacroach in her food from the 'Casona del Cerdo' in San Joaquin.

Nasty nasty, the thing kinda smelled like teriyaki /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Mega neglected to mention what to get there.

Cause the place pretty much blows with the exception of 2 steaks.

1.USDA Ribeye (14 oz. cooked Med) They get really marbelized fatty cuts MMMMM

2.Churazco (cooked Med) Nice piece for less $$ (still cant compare to the ribeye though)

That's it for that joint.
 
Ok....I ended up getting a meat lasagna from Salad in the Box, very nice, nice salad, good bread, very nice overall.

Rated: 8.4

Hey Boys, Newbie here. I like Chinese,Italian,Seafood and Mexican. Drop some suggestions.

Where is the best Pizza? Chain? not a chain?


My 2 cents For chinese in Pavas Ciudad Ventura
Recommend Fried Rice, #43 chicken with Veggies and 82 a noodle dish with all the meats.
Flor De leto near subway/Corobici. Nothing fantastic but generally good.
Havent found any Chino worth recommending around Sabana
McDonalds Egg McQueso for 250 Colones provides value and hits the spot in the mornings.
Lena Dor in Pavas is great for chicken and rice, but they always $(*$*( my order up, so they have one more chance Arroz con Pollo sin vegetales, sin ensalada, sin pappas con pico de gallo . They are like a 10-1 dog on getting it right.
Seafood-Princess Marina near Pavas/Sabana has great sopa de mariscos, and I liek the paella. Great value across the board.
Samurai's is great and Il vernadero but a little pricey.

Sushi Itto sucks, Il Pomodoro service is bad great seafood risotto, Tex-mex pretty good. Il Gatto pretty good.
 
This is a strange but accurate mixed review.

Place: Peppers

Item: Oriental Chicken Burrito with everything the Lord created.

Rated: Taste: 8.7
Overall Result: 1


*** Please note the discrepancy between taste and the end result. I fell asleep around 2 am yesterday, had a dream that my house was getting robbed when I did fall asleep, have been to the bathroom 5 times since 2 am yesterday and feel horrible, horrible horrible today. /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif I walk in and talk to the guy next to me at work (he had the same thing) and he says he went through the same thing, INCLUDING the 'dreaming'

Scary /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif
 
Sorry to hear it.Nothing that a night at Cheetah's won't cure.Chino,best pizza i have had is Ciro's {sic} in San Anontonio De Escazu right acroos from the church.Excellent!
 
Oh man, I think the line of me making it to 2pm today is about.

Yes +125
No -135

Went to "La Princesa Marina" in Barrio San Jose de Alajuela the other day. Food rocked, service quite good, only C10,000 for two including a bottle of Concha y Toro.
