Sabor Tico

Monteverde & Santa Elena


Ticos and travelers alike rave about this local joint. Look for tasty twists on the standard fare, such as olla de carne (beef soup), chorreadas Ticas (fried corn cakes with sour cream) and tamales (holiday fare, typically). The gallos (soft tortillas with delicious fillings of your choice) are a perfect alternative to the more filling casados (set meals) for lunch.

The original location is opposite the soccer field.
