About

Restaurante El Asador, a restaurant on Costa Rica, sits 200 metros sur y 75 metros este de la Iglesia Católica in San José, Gral Viejo. The kitchen serves grilled meat, prepared over fire in the asador tradition the name announces. Costa Rica's Pacific coast keeps a marked dry season while the Caribbean side stays wet for much of the year, which shapes produce through the calendar.

Diners have carried Restaurante El Asador to 4.6 out of 5 across 199 reviews, a record that has built steadily rather than in a single season. With close to two hundred reviews on file, reserving a table in advance makes sense during the busier stretches of the year. The volume of feedback suggests a kitchen tested by repeat custom.

Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida. Altitude shapes the country's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts.

Reaching San José by road is straightforward, and intercity buses form the main public transport between towns. Driving is on the right, which visitors arriving from left-hand-traffic countries need to note before setting out.
