Mini Súper El Flaco
About
On Costa Rica, Mini Súper El Flaco sits in the hills of Quebradas, within the Provincia de Alajuela and the Tambor area, a setting that puts it near the small communities of the interior rather than the beach strip.
Mini Súper El Flaco is best known as a neighbourhood stop for everyday groceries, cold drinks and household basics, the sort of place where a first-time visitor can pick up water, snacks and fruit before a long drive. It has earned a 4.5 out of 5 average from 68 reviews, a strong showing for a small shop serving a rural district.
Travellers moving between San José and the beaches around Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde can work a stop at Mini Súper El Flaco into the journey, since Quebradas sits within the Provincia de Alajuela on routes that link the capital with the coast.
Costa Rica runs on Spanish, with the local habit of saying pura vida, and gallo pinto — rice and beans fried with onion and coriander — is the standard breakfast, so a small shop selling staples is genuinely useful for anyone self-catering.
