If I want to hit hooters Ill hit it right here on Coliseum ave. When I am in the gulch, I will be drinking Imperial, smoking Derby, eating my food with lots of lizano on it...You will find me at places like Mariscar, soda Peru, Costa del Sol, and chinese place 3 doors down from d.r.
When in Rome.......Just my honest opinion!!!

Zig, that's what I'm talking about. Like I said in my earlier post, "Who the hell wants to eat at McDonalds (insert any American establishement here) when you're in Costa Rica?" Isn't that why we get out of the U.S.?

And guys, the "cien" comment was my response to Supermans comment about "staying out of Costa Rica" just because I won't give Hooters my money while on vacation. Please read his reply again. So, I was being facetious when I made that statement. Relax! I won't pay cien either.

Superman, you didn't piss me off. I was just making a point about your statement. Have fun at Hooters. First drinks (Imperial) on me at the SL.

FIVE (5) more days to Heaven!!

I can't see why anyone would want to go to Escazu to see a Hooters. They will probably be looking for Cien tips

Uhh thanks for the offer for a free Imperial, however, i'd rather have a Crown and Coke!

This is not a one size fits all topic. I understand what you are saying and when I was a visitor to CR could never figure out why guys ate at McD, BK, KFC, etc. Why not eat at local places when here and go back to US chains when in the states.

When you live here it is a totally different situation. Tico places become the norm and every once in awhile it's time to get some US style food. I went to Outback last night and had a prime rib. Pricey?... yes,... but the beef was the best I have had in CR. For expatriates a US restaurant is a welcome change occasionally.

Well said, Ding Dong. Sometime people forget that there are many ex pats living in CR and would like to eat US style food once in awhile. The Ticos want our culture too and that is why these places are thriving.

I can't understand why it is so expensive to eat at the fast food joints. I took a Tica with her two daughter to Burger king for lunch. Two happy meal and two adult combos was 6800 colones. Two nights earlier, I took her to Princesa Marina for dinner and we both had camarones and 1 drink each. 7300 colones

La Piazzetta the next night was a different story, I like wine with dinner but why does it have to cost more than both meals put together? The service and company were the best part!

Personally, I don't eat McDonald's, BK, KFC at home in the states and so have no desire to in CR.

Hooters, on the other hand, I don't mind visiting occasionally for a game, a few beers and some wings. - I'm not likely to go when I'm in CR, but who knows, it might be a good place to watch a game that I might want to see when visiting. - I see nothing wrong with American places as some have stated - to each his own

Well damn RN I may have to give hooters another chance, the one in my town sucks so I figured they all did. Put Hooters on the next sexy bitch tour.

Ahhh, see, now you're thinking...

Just FYI but I am thinking that the next and greatest yet Sexy Bitch Tour will be SuperBowl weekend... with girls dancing on bars (the pics of that event are still on the screensavers of the SL, and my oh my, they look phenomenal...), lap dances galore, special shows just for us, VIP treatment everywhere we go, lots of booze, and of course, tons of honeys (disclaimer, I'm just gonna HOST it, not partake of the honeys... I'm an M-Man, and PROUD of it, BITCHES!! As a matter of fact, I may even drag along my lady-friend with me, just so she knows I'm behaving with all you sicko's!!).

Hooter's MAY be a great place to start the show, provided we start early... say, 6-7pm, immediately after the Happy Hour.... ohhh, fellaz, you don't even know what I have in mind for this next tour... Sexy Bitches #2 will be a faded memory after this one...

Anyways, I'll keep the events to myself for now, but I promise, Sexy Bitches will continue to be a crowd pleaser and continue to out-do itself with the upcoming "Sexy Bitches #3-Superbowl Weekend: The Bitches are Back in Town". Trust me, good things are already in the works.

Maybe we should get a gang together for a little Hooters reunion this coming Saturday !!

When I first moved to Costa Rica 3 years ago, I looked into opening a Hooter's here in CR, but the franchise fees where way out of my price range. My girlfriend and I went to Hooters for dinner last night, she's been pestering me about trying the chicken there for weeks, since she's known me for almost 2 years, and knew about the restraunt stuff. Anyway....

When you first walk into the place, the only thing that comes to mind is the noise. Holy shit is it loud in there. They having the music turned all the way up, the girls are loud and screaming, "Bienvenidos Hooters !", and they have 5 TVs all turned up for ESPN. This was an immediate turn-off, but hell, it's a sports bar (kinda).

We proceed to get a table, and grab the menu. I must admit there is one nice touch, the girls come over and have a seat at your table while you look through the menu, and chit-chat for awhile. This may be because it was only half-full, but I think it's a nice touch. We decided on 2 orders of Chicken Strips, with different hot sauces. For anyone that likes HOT sauce, Hooters is definitely not on the above average heat level, in case you were wondering(I had to get an extra bowl of 911, their hottest sauce). My girl being a typical Tica, chose the least hot, Medium, but she was still able to handle the 911 taste test(so it's NOT hot at all, cause 90% of Ticos, including her, can't even use black pepper). We both ordered fruit drinks(lemonade and orange juice). Here is the big surprise, just those 2 orders, with a side of regular fries, and it came to $20.00. Jesus ! This place is pricey to say the least !

The girls were nice, talkative, and most spoke english. We didn't meet any girls from Costa Rica, only from Columbia, Panama, Guatemala, Venezuala, and asian. Kind of a surprise(j/k), but all of them had silicon.

I don't think this place is going to make it too well, but I could be wrong. It's very expensive, and as previously stated, there are tits everywhere in this country. I think the 2 largest problems they will need to overcome are the 1) price (even rich ticos will step back on that) and 2) the fact that it is in the single most popular shopping center for gringo dining. The majority of gringos living in CR have wives, and they didn't want their husbands eating at Hooters in the US, you can be damn sure they don't want them eating at the one here, or seen by all their friends and neighbors.

All in all, we may or not go back, although I think I'll be visiting there with some friends who have never gone. I had my hopes up, but for some reason it just doesn't hold a candle to any of the other 7 locations I used to eat at. Maybe I'm just jaded, since I've been living in CR for 3 years... who knows...

TicoBob;
Nice post! A good first hand report.
As Ding Dong said, its kind of nice for us gringos living here to be able to go to an American chain every once in a while. I enjoy going to Dennys and Outback occasionally. Its almost like a 1 hour vacation to the states for me.
Anyway, I'll get my fill in a couple of weeks as I'm going to my bro's house for thanksgiving and will be gone for a week, so I'm sure we'll hit a couple of hot spots around Savannah, Ga while I'm there - that'll get it out of my system and I'll be happy to get back to chicken, rice and beans.
