First Time in Costa Rica!! 🇨🇷 COSTA RICAN STREET FOOD Tour in San Jose!!

San José, Costa Rica - Welcome to San José, the capital and biggest city in Costa Rica, and one of the best places to eat Costa Rican food. Today we’re going on an ultimate Costa Rica street food tour, from the market to local restaurants and everything in between. Let’s go eat!

First of all a huge thank you to:
- Yeison and Samantha, follow them @mytanfeet
- Alex and Roberto from Chepe Cletas Tours
For taking me on this unforgettable Costa Rican food tour.

Super Cholo Gigante at Super Cholo Gigante, San José Meat Market - After walking around the market, we then headed to the Meat Market and in the back there’s a restaurant that specializes in bocas, or small places of food. Here you can get all the classic Costa Rican foods, authentic and cooked to perfection.

Empanadas at La Empanadota - You can’t come to Costa Rica without trying an empanada and everyone seems to have their favorite. When they are deep fried hot and fresh and drizzled in five sticky sauces, they are hard to resist.

Again, thank you to Yeison and Samantha from My Tan Feet, and Alex and Roberto from Chepe Cletas Tours for taking me around San Jose, Costa Rica!

Isn't it fascinating how Brazilians and Costa Ricans share so much in common, including our daily staple of rice and beans? If it weren't for the language barrier, our countries could have even stronger bonds. ¡Amor desde Brasil a Costa Rica!

I think that everyone in their lifetime should visit Costa Rica! Their nature is from another world! Beautiful country

Next time you visit Costa Rica you need to travel to Limón, it’s Caribbean food is amazing!

I was surprised that many Costa Ricans speak English, it is clear that they are a very educated population and not to mention their gastronomy, which goes almost unnoticed in the world but is clearly delicious!!!

I lived in San Jose for two years. It there is anything I miss about it, it's the food. I still frequently make Gallo Pinto here in the States.

Hello Mark ! I am french but my Father is Vietnamese, i lived 9 years in Costa Rica in Atenas 15 minutes away from San Jose, funny thing is that i never went to those places in San Jose! I still LOVE Costa Rica and the people i ve learned to know, what a beautiful Country ❣️❣️❣️Hope that you will there a bit longer before you leave because San Jose is Not the best place to go and tasting Foods.

I just love the way he talks about everything… he’s so positive and really appreciates all 😍 Costa Rica es el mejor lugar del mundo 🩵🥰

Visited Costa Rica before to film one of our TV show episode and I can vouch this! It's the kind of cuisine that says, 'Let's make the simple spectacular!' Aside from their interesting cuisine where ''satisfaction meets spice', it's full of adventure you'll definitely fall in love with!

[lelac]

this makes me so excited for my upcoming trip next week. First thing on my agenda...FOOD!🤗

Costa Rican here, just want to clarify what the guy at 30:32 said, gallo in Costa Rica means a small portion of food, usually eaten with a tortilla, but not necessarily.
Thanks for coming to my country! you always have such positive energy I think it matches perfectly with our pura vida vibes haha

[sgraham]

[nidiamiranda]

Veo a Mark desde hace años y me tomó por sorpresa ver que estaba aqui en MI PAÍS COSTA RICA!! amé este video ❤ gracias amigo puraaaa

[WaithakaEnt]

Pura Vida! Loved every minute I spent in Costa Rica 🇨🇷. Drove from San Jose to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. What a change of scenery reminded me so much of the Rift Valley region in Kenya but way greener. I’m definitely going back the hospitality was amazing.

[kerenrodriguez]

Mark, I lived in Costa Rica when I was a child and you just made me miss Costa Rica so much more ❤

[RefreshThisPage]
