About

When in Costa Rica, Ricas Pupusas is the local business to seek out for its namesake dish, and it operates from WW5X+8GR in San José, San Francisco. The name points squarely at pupusas, the stuffed griddled maize cakes, and that is the reason people make the trip.

First-time visitors should expect a casual food stop built around freshly cooked pupusas rather than a full sit-down restaurant. A rating of 4.3 out of 5 across 56 reviews reflects steady approval from diners. San José, the capital and the country's main urban centre, lies within reach, so the venue sits in the most connected part of the island for anyone moving between towns.

Five photos offer a look at the food and the setting. The address WW5X+8GR, San José, San Francisco is the one to give a driver.

Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican speech is marked by the use of vos and the everyday phrase pura vida. A casado, the set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, is the standard midday plate. The Pacific coast has a distinct dry season while the Caribbean stays wet for much of the year. Costa Rica sits between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, with volcanic ranges running down its centre.
