It's no secret --- Costa Rica is NOT known for it's cuisine! I have nothing against rice and beans, and after living here for 5 yrs, I've certainly had my share. Gallo pinto is fine (gallo pinto is a mix of beans, rice, Salsa Lizano, chopped onion, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro. Usually served alongside a fried egg, ripe plantains, white cheese and homemade tortillas or a piece of toast). Casados are fine too (casados are always offered at sodas (a local restaurant). This authentic plate generally has a good sized portion of white rice, black beans, and salad).
However, few people want to eat the same thing over and over every time they go out for a meal. So now that we have relocated to Escazú, we are very happy to research and sample the assorted meal options available.
Last week our friends Darrell & Carolyn invited us to join them for lunch at a very nice Indian reatuarant in the neighboring city of Santa Ana.
It was some of the BEST Indian food we've had since arriving in Costa Rica!! The resturant also has a sister location in Escazú. We highly recommend it to anyone who likes Indian cuisine.
Big THANKS to both tof them!
