$$ San José Spanish

About

An Argentinian restaurant in San José that regulars return to within the same trip. The churrasco and grilled cuts come tender and well-marinated, the chimichurri gets its own praise, and the fish is fresh. Expect a romantic, fine-dining feel with an excellent wine list and sometimes live music. Impeccable service is the line that repeats most.

We were visiting San Jose for a week and loved Aqui Es so that we went back a second time for dinner. The food is delicious and beautifully displayed. The service is impeccable and you feel very welcomed. The restaurant is romantic. The wine is excellent. In summary.... top rate!

We thoroughly enjoyed this Argentinian restaurant for lunch while we were in San Jose. Excellent service. A variety of fresh fish and excellent cuts of meat. The specials are delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable in a fine dining type atmosphere. Nice drink and wine menu as well. Thoroughly recommend.

Best Argentinian spicy and blood sausage I've had - hands down! Nice waiter and beautiful chimichurri sauce. Also, very nice live music. Went here last night and wished I would have came again tonight.
