Taqueria El Gustico
About
For a restaurant in Costa Rica, Taqueria El Gustico sits 300 metros Oeste del Templo Católico de San Pedro Heredia, in Santa Bárbara. The kitchen serves tacos and grilled dishes, the kind of food that draws a steady local following. Costa Rica has a tropical climate with a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November, and the Pacific coast has a marked dry season while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year.
Santa Bárbara sits in the province of Heredia, with San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde among the places listed nearby. The restaurant operates as a restaurant on Costa Rica, and its position makes for an easy stop on a wider tour of the island.
Diners have pushed the average to 4.5 out of 5 across 172 reviews, a tally that reflects steady custom through the year. With that many reviews on record, reserving a table in advance is the sensible route during the busier months. Sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws are common in Costa Rican forests and along the coasts.
A rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 172 reviews places the restaurant among the more consistently reviewed tables in the area. That volume of feedback suggests a kitchen tested by a steady flow of visitors rather than a handful of diners. Cloud forest, rainforest and dry tropical forest all occur within a short drive of each other in Costa Rica, which is worth timing a visit around.
