$$ San José Spanish

About

A San José spot for traditional Costa Rican plates, patacones and the like, in a touristy stretch, with prices reviewers call very good and a disco upstairs adding music to the meal. The food and value are the steady wins. Service is the soft spot: more than one diner found it slow, so settle in and don't come rushed.

If you're looking for a traditional Costa Rican meal (like patacones) in a somewhat touristy area of San Jose this is your place. Prices are very good and so is the food. There is a disco upstairs so enjoy the music while you eat.
