El Porco
About
El Porco serves Costa Rica from Av 9 in Barrio Escalante, San José, a neighbourhood known for its concentration of eating and drinking spots. The location sits in the capital's eastern quarter, within reach of the main hotels and transport links in the city centre.
With a 4.3 out of 5 average from 401 reviews, El Porco has drawn a substantial following in a competitive part of San José. The name suggests a focus on pork, and the kitchen has built its reputation on that speciality. Diners come from across the city and from further afield.
First-time visitors should expect a busy room at peak times, given the volume of reviews and the popularity of the Barrio Escalante strip. Costa Rican cooking uses fresh fruit, plantain and Salsa Lizano, and coffee from the Central Valley is a major export.
Costa Rica has a tropical climate with a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November, so an evening out in San José is comfortable for much of the year.
