Antiguo Pollo Granjero Concepción

About

Antiguo Pollo Granjero Concepción in Costa Rica sits in San José, Alajuelita, Costa Rica, on the southern edge of the capital. San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all form part of the country's travel circuit, with the capital closest. Chicken features in the name and the kitchen's tradition, a staple of Costa Rican home cooking.

Alajuelita lies within the greater San José area, so the venue is reachable from the city centre by road. A 4.2 out of 5 average across 107 reviews reflects a solid base of local diners. First-time visitors should expect generous portions of chicken prepared in the Costa Rican style, with rice and beans alongside.

Altitude shapes Costa Rica's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida.

Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948 and has no standing military. Rice and beans appear at most meals in Costa Rica, whether as a side or as the base of a larger plate.
