Definately Judge,

I haven't been to the others but I'm told that the one in Barrio San Jose, Alajuela is the best of the chain, in my mind well worth the trip.

Slim,

You get to Barrio San Jose like this. Find the cementary in Alajuela on one of the famous "calles anchas". On one corner is the cementary and on the diagonal corner there's a Pizza Hut if you're on the side of the street that Pizza Hut is on take a left, if you're on the side the cementary is on take a right. The restaurant is on that street just stay on it for about 5 miles. You'll pass a gas station on your left then a supermarket on the left, around there is a "club campestre algo" with a sign that says Mariscaria Kache keep going. You'll get to a hill that goes down a bit, curves to the left and goes back up. Reaching the top of the hill at that point you should see a small plaza/park on the left. Just after that on your right is La Princesa Marina. If you get lost just ask, everybody in Alajuela knows where Barrio San Jose is and most know where La Princesa Marina is.

Hey Just another bored bookie,

We ordered Princess Marina a couple of weeks ago here in the office and as soon as the lids came off WOW what a stench.

The seafood soup looked like it was spooned out of a mud puddle and my fish went straight into the trash. It was bright yellow from ...? and just bad bad bad.

People were complaining about how bad the office stank after that. How the hell does Marina stay in business serving crap like that? I will never order there again.

Oh... for BEST seafood soup, my vote goes for the parihuela sp? soup at the Peruvian restarant in Paco. The Inca Grill. Its FABULOUS! A few wines Alba next door is good too.

For best chicken soup, the Caldo Real at Tex Mex.

Just Another Bored Bookie,

Lets meet up out there soon.

Slim-
Princess Marina in Sabana leave office centro and go left toward the pista, it is right across the street from where you get on the pista to go to escazu and santa ana. Obviously some people dont like it and some do. I think you should try it out for yourself as the quality and quantity for the price I find tough to beat.
The belly is getting to big, so I am slowing down on eating, however I did find a new restaurant and it was one of my best meals in CR in Guachepelin between Multiplaza and Tre Fratellis is a Greek reataurant Zorba's highly recommend it. Pita and Hummus, nice fresh greek salad with zesty Feta and had the seafood platter for 2, it was food for 3. When I lose a few pounds planning on going back and sampling the mixed chicked,lamb, beef platter for 3100 cc. This restaurant is on the same street as Peppers.
In regards to Peppers, Evertime I go in there it is empty or maybe people at 1 table, there are 3 or 4 guys waiting to make my burrito. this is very close to an American style burrito. The one I like is Grilled fish burrito. I feel like I am getting value because the chicken, beef and fish burrito is the same price, but every where else you pay more for fish!!!
I get the jumbo grilled dorado burrito, Oregano Tortilla light whole beans, rice, a little cheese, Pico de gallo, a little hot sauce.

rating 9.9 hits the spot!!!

thx for the tip judge, where exactly is it, I know where the Scotia Bank is, Samurai, Tre Fratellis and the Movie theater down the street from Scotia Bank. I think I am close!!
 

I say vee cut off your Chonson !!!!

Great place, forget the name though. Located in Sabana, I think they may have another store somewhere else.

Anyways, gosh I forget the fricking name, but its real easy to find. On main road in front of Offi-central. Head East like your going to San Jose. At end of street before you turn, on right hand side there is a red and yellow building. It is easily Idenifiable, I believe there is an up-side double "U" on a post in front.

Burgers are greasy but good
Fries are greasy but very tasty
Lots of burger varietys
And they have an ice cream machine
Check it out. I think theres a swing-set in the back if you have kids.
It looks like a family place.
One problem. I don't think they sell alcohol.
But the food was great.

That location shut-down.

I went there one day & it was all closed up.

The new location is great for all us Ecazuzians.
 
One other tip.If you want a really romantic dinner,go to Ram Luna.Went there for the first time recently.The food is okay,but the atmospere is the best of any resteraunt in CR.Way up in the mountains with an absolutly amazing view.If you don't get laid after dinner here,you ain't gonna get laid.
