Pulpería Santa Rita

4.3(39 reviews)

About

In Costa Rica, Pulpería Santa Rita operates in San José, San Juan, Florida, Costa Rica.

Pulpería Santa Rita is known across its neighbourhood as a small counter-service shop, the kind of neighbourhood store that sells staples, snacks and household basics over the counter rather than aisles of a large supermarket. First-time visitors should expect a compact, family-run operation where goods are handed across the counter. Its 4.3 out of 5 rating from 39 reviews reflects steady approval from those who stop by. The shop sits in San Juan, within the wider San José area, and travellers based in Tamarindo, Santa Teresa or Manuel Antonio will find it a long way from the Pacific beaches.

Altitude shapes Costa Rica's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts, so San José is milder than the beach resorts. Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast and worth trying while in the country.

Ferries cross the Gulf of Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula, and small aircraft serve coastal destinations. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year.
