La Casa del Chicharrón y El Patacón

4.4(7 reviews)

About

La Casa del Chicharrón y El Patacón serves Costa Rica from Av. 3 Tomás Guardia in the Provincia de Alajuela, in Alajuela city. A 4.4 out of 5 average across 7 reviews marks a small but well-regarded following in the Central Valley.

Alajuela sits in the Central Valley, within reach of San José, while Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde lie further afield on the coasts and in the mountains. The Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/La-Casa-del-Chicharr%C3%B3n-y-Patacon-436506920418422/?referrer carries the venue's own posts.

Altitude shapes weather across Costa Rica, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts, so Alajuela's elevation gives it a milder climate than the beach destinations. A casado, the set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, is the kind of plate visitors will meet across the country.

Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida. With 7 reviews and a 4.4 rating, the venue's standing rests on a modest but consistent set of diners, and its Alajuela address places it in the Central Valley rather than on the coast.
