Start at the National Theatre's lobby. Afterward, visit Steinvorth building, one of the hidden gems in the heart of San José. Here, sample a native cacao preparation, produced in Costa Rica.
Next, stop at a nice Mesoamerican cuisine restaurant where you can try a very tasty “Chifrijo”, a local soup-like that includes chicharron beef one of the staples of Costa Rican food.
Then, continue to Barrio Escalante, a trendy neighborhood of San Jose. Try traditional Costa Rican tacos, called gallos, made with a delicious tortilla and assorted ingredients.
