San José Restaurants

This place has the best burgers in CR. Always consistently juicy, cooked to perfection, and served with the truffle fries which are to die for. I mean the service is great, and the steak, salads and seafood are excellent but if you ever have a taste for a great burger, they also provide that.

Everything was great except for a surcharge on additional “salsa” which was both expensive and ridiculous. This details matter

This is a must-try place. We are staying at the hotel and we’ve eaten here before. An eclectic menu makes for a very interesting dinner. The cocktails are phenomenal. Very creative and very beautiful. As for the service, it is top-notch. Everyone speaks to you whether you’re in their station or not. Our go-to server is Yara. She is amazing. She makes sure you never want for anything and her personality is cheerful, professional, and sincere. Love this place. I highly recommend the Cerviche De Corvina as an app. Delicious. I had the shrimp pasta for dinner, which was delightful. Many shrimp tossed in tagliatelle pasta with a light tomato based sauce. Also delicious.

It's the fourth time I visit Buchon and it's definitely one of the best restaurants in Costa Rica. It is very difficult to find a place that has amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing ambience and service, and amazing prices. No matter what type of food you like, I guarantee you'll have an incredible experience at Buchon. Their menu changes seasonally but it has always delivered and they maintain customer favorites. The burger and cheese cubes are a MUST. If it's your first time visiting, don't worry about parking on the street or with the local guachiman, you're in good hands!

Service and the food was really great, attending to our food preferences and very friendly
