Ferretería El Merengue

4.5(39 reviews)

About

Ferretería El Merengue, on Costa Rica, sits at Avenida 3 in the Zapote district of San José, the capital's eastern quarter.

A 4.5 out of 5 average across 39 reviews gives newcomers a clear signal of how the place is regarded before they arrive. San José anchors the Central Valley, with Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio and Jacó spread along the Pacific coast and Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean side. Reaching it from the main resorts means travelling inland to the capital, since the coastal towns sit at a distance from the Central Valley.

Costa Rica's altitude shapes its weather, and the Central Valley around San José runs cooler than the coasts, so a light layer helps in the evenings. A casado — rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish — is the everyday set lunch to look for. Sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws are common in forests and along the coasts.

San José's position in the Central Valley makes it the natural first stop for arrivals, with Monteverde and La Fortuna further out. The 39 reviews reflect a steady local following rather than passing tourist trade.
