    This is a must-visit if your in San Jose. The place is a sophisticated food court featuring dishes from all around the world. A nice tip: you can go and order 3 or 4 starters from several food joints and boom!: you have a nice fusion menu to enjoy with friends sitting down where ever you wish.

    Excellent place to eat. Dozens of small kiosks serving various types of local and international food. Portions are enormous and prices are reasonable. Within walking distance of Avenida Escazu and CIMA hospital. You can eat in he covered terrace or close to the fountain.

    Steak Sandwich at 📍 @carnealfuegocr Rating: 🤩🤩 Must visit if your in the area Thoughts 💭 What a delight! Found at @elmestizocr this steak sandwich is nothing short of super special. The steak was cooked perfectly and everything about it was mouth watering! It was our favourite dish on the whole food tour! Reviews by @thefoodiestraveldiary Food tour @elmestizocr Stop 1 - @brianna_burgers Generous amounts of meat but unfortunately they were far too over cooked. A burger is always best served med-rare. The toppings were a very good addition. The bun unfortunately just crumbled apart - nothing to do with any sauce issues… just literally fell apart. Overall, enjoyable but I wouldn’t be going back. Stop 2 - @masalabistro we ordered the tikka masala - it was fantastic! We are huge chicken tikka masala fans and this one stands up! Stop 3 - @killer_buns we ordered the Wagyu one. At first glance we were disheartened by the lack of meat. Then we tasted it and we were amazed at how good it was. The actual bao bun itself was one of the best I have ever had… like a cloud rather than that horrid chewy texture you get most of the time. The star of the tour is coming in the next post!

    (Translated by Google) I had not had the opportunity to visit it, like all food stores you have to make at least a 20-minute queue or even a little more. I was fortunate to have made a reservation so I was able to avoid the delay at the entrance and enter directly. The place is very spacious and its terrace design is quite pleasant to share the different tastes of the kitchen. In the end I decided on Chef Raphael who did not disappoint with the taste of his cuts of meat and the good attention from the kitchen staff. My rating is directed to the place in general since the experience of going through the different restaurant options in none of them give you an attention in which you are attracted by the warmth of a human, they only wait for the user to decide for themselves. That initiative of the staff to appear to the user with much more sympathy is missing. (Original) No había tenido la oportunidad de visitarlo, como todo local de comercial de comida hay que realizar al menos una fila de 20 min o hasta un poco más. Tuve la dicha de haber realizado reservación por lo que pude evitarme la demora en la entrada e ingresar directamente. El lugar muy espacioso y bastante agradable su diseño de terraza para compartir los diferentes gustos de la cocina. Al final me decidí por el Chef Raphael el cual no defraudó con el sabor de sus cortes de carnes y la buena atención de parte del staff de cocina. Mi calificación va dirigida al lugar en general ya que la experiencia de pasar por las diferentes opciones de restaurante en ninguna te brindan una atención en la que te atraigan por la calidez de humana únicamente esperan a que el usuario decida por si mismo. Falta esa iniciativa del personal de apersonarse al usuario con mucha más simpatía.

    (Translated by Google) I chose the Italian restaurant that is in this gastronomic market in front of Antojitos, apart from the fact that they were wrong with the taste of the soda, the food was as incipient as the juice that in the end they brought "corrected".

    Great good Court. Good selection of foods and drinks. There are pretty of restaurants in the area so you have a lot of choices to choose from. It's very touristy but it's a good spot regardless.

  • 5/5 Emmanuel N. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty nice environment for having very tasty food (many options here) or chill out with some drinks/coffee. You would get many different food choices, all of them with very good quality. The presentation might not be great due to the "mercadito" concept, but it's part of the experience. You can also just come for coffee, ice cream or some drinks. They keep the place very neat and clean, it makes you feel welcome. I wish it was less crowded/noisy, but that's also part of the "mercado" experience.

    (Translated by Google) It is a place to go with friends there are varieties of restaurants with different gastronomy ña food in some is quite good. At night it looks much prettier than during the day. I do not think it is advisable to go with children or babies, although there are chairs and places to eat the environment is much more adult, if you go with a baby there is a lot of noise since it is an open space, and it is uncomfortable for infants in my opinion with my 2 year old baby had a hard time getting a menu. But to spend the rare conversation with friends is excellent. You can get there by bus since there is a stop very close to the site. The covid protocol is used. (Original) Es un lugar para ir con amigos hay variedades de restaurantes con diferente gastronomía ña comida en algunos es bastante buena. De noche se ve mucho más lindo que de dia. No me parece recomendable para ir con niños o con bebés aunque hay silla y sitios para comer el ambiente es mucho más de adulto , si vas con bebé hay mucho ruido ya que es un espacio abierto, y es incomodo para las lactantes en mi opinión con mi bebé de 2 años fue difícil conseguir un menú. Pero para pasar el raro conversar con los amigos esta excelente. Puedes llegar en bus ya que hay una parada muy serca de el sitio. Se usa el protocolo de covid.
