La Casona De Laly - San Jose

My wife and I stopped here for lunch following a recommendation from our tour guide. My wife ordered chalupas and I ordered the chyle rellenos. Both dishes were different than we are accustomed to, but OK we are in a foreign country. Every place has their own twist on things. What’s the price my wife was the fact that her plate was filled with lettuce. She did not want lettuce, so we asked the waitress to return the meal and remove the lettuce. Well, that’s where we ran into problems. My wife does not speak Spanish, and although I do, it was so noisy inside the restaurant I had a hard time understanding. Finally the manager came out. He told her in Spanish right in her face that she had ordered the dish and, regardless, she was going to have to pay for it. We could take it home or throw it away. My Chile rellenos came stuffed with hamburger as well as cheese, and the rice that was served with them was dry. I really didn’t care for it.

Great amount of food options and even better quality. Speed of service was outstanding and everyone was served at the same time. Would definitely recommend eating here at any time of the day.

Costa Rican typical food! The menu is diverse, you can find soups, rice, salads, beef, pork, chicken and fish. Most of the dishes can be ordered as full size or a smaller size called Boca , which is a great option if you are not hungry enough to eat a large portion or if you want to try different things. Food is delicious, service quick, staff friendly and prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting CR. They have all the traditional plates at a good price, in a comfortable environment . Sometimes they have live music and this place can really fill up during prime time. They have a small children’s play area and also provide small complementary dish of chicken and fries for children.

As usual the service was impecable. Food amazing
