Carnicería Gallo Solo

4.5(75 reviews)

About

Carnicería Gallo Solo, on Costa Rica, sits in El Carmen within the Provincia de Alajuela, in the Alajuela area north of the capital.

First-time visitors should expect a working meat counter rather than a restaurant, with counter service and cuts sold by weight. A 4.5 out of 5 average from 75 reviews gives the shop a solid standing among customers. Alajuela sits close to San José and within reach of Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde, so it can be worked into a journey between the Central Valley and the coast. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida.

Costa Rican cooking uses fresh fruit, plantain and Salsa Lizano, and coffee from the Central Valley is a major export, so a stop here pairs naturally with the country's everyday food shopping.

The country lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, with volcanic ranges running down its centre.
