Machu
I hardly ever talk about restaurants. Not that we don’t have some that are pretty good. I guess I just haven’t been swept off my feet. But one I’ve been to a couple of times (different locations) is Machu Picchu, a chain of Peruvian restaurants here. The food has been very delicious and consistent. The service at the San Pedro location was great, as was the outside patio. The location off of Paseo Colon must be really old. It was certainly nothing fancy. And the service wasn’t that great. But the food does sure make up for it.

I just did some searching online and found that Machu Picchu is Orbit’s top pick for all of Costa Rica. I guess I could see that. Between reasonable prices and great food, it’s right up there.

One time I ordered Sea bass Florentina, billed as a delightfull fillet of fresh Sea bass with an exquisite spinach sauce. Truth is, it’s a cream sauce with crusty cheese on top. Can’t go wrong with that! Average price for the main course is about $4 according to one website I looked at. But even if it’s a couple dollars more in reality, it’s soooo worth it!

Their original location is found at: 2nd. Ave, 32nd. Street, San José. Tel: (506) 222-7384.
