I enjoyed dinner at Aqui Es with a group of friends while traveling to San Jose for business. The wine was affordable by the bottle (with the special that they offered) and tasted great. I had an empanada with raisins and 'sweet meat' to start. I wish that I had taken a photograph of the menu to tell you the... More

There are very few restaurants in San Jose where you can get a good Italian meal. This is one features several Italian dishes and the one I ordered was very good even if the tomato sauce was a bit overpowering. The prices are reasonable. On Friday nights they have live music including the Argentine tango.

I could smell this place from a block away when I was coming back towards Avenida Paseo Colon. Oh, god, the lure of good Parilla....I could not resist and given that I had not had breakfast that day? It was on Friday, the start of Semana Santa and the joint was packed - always a good sign. I looked at... More

This place was introduced to me by by cousin, one day in town and when she worked a block away, we had lunch here. Now it is our traditional lunch place when i am in town with my wife. Love the pastas, and the specials. The ginger drinks are also good. Great decoratios, and good stories from the staff. Enjoy... More

We love this little lunch spot close to Sabana Park for its little piece of Argentina with the most warm and friendly owner, Matias who makes you feel like you're part of the family. We usually come here for a late lunch a few times a month (the place is packed to the brim during the weekday lunch hour) The... More

I came to Costa Rica to visit my girlfriend for her birthday. We spent the day walking through many of the parks throughout San Jose and came to a park very close to where one of her roommates works. As we sat under a tree in this park, she translated the name of the restaurant for me and we laughed... More

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The pizza here was the best I've found in Costa Rica....delicious....and only made better followed by the brownie.

A little argentinan corner in san José, the waiter seemed to be a little unconfortable (perhaps he did not want to be there anyway) and his service was not even nice. The restaurant owner showed up after the meals were served and he was totally different, warm and friendly! We ordered an "aqui es" pizza which definetely was to die... More

Aqui Es is an Argentinian parrillada located two blocks away from Sabana Park in San José (a block south off Paseo Colon). Of course, the house specialty is grilled meats but it also serves pizzas and pastas such as ravioli, cannelloni, etc., all of which are home-made on the premises. A wide choice of sauces are also offered. There is... More
