This is a quick review of restaraunts I have visited so far this trip:

El Patio - Hotel Balmoral. excellent american styled breakfast and the view is unbelievable.

The Gardens - Still a good stop for lunch, It is not up to its former standards and could be slipping fast.

JR's Ribs - Excellent Barbeque, you can taste the wood in the meat, American styled prices though, but the food was worth it.

The Buffet at Britt's Coffee - You have to take the coffee tour to get this one, but the tour is great and the food is on another level.

Chelle's - This is my favorite Tico food place, the food never gets better nor does it get worse. This is a must stop at least once on every trip.

I will add to this as I wander around San Jose.

FYI-There a weekday lunch special. For 3,500-4,000¢, you can pick a meat (ribs) and 2 side dishes and a soft drink/natural drink.

The place that sells churros in front of the restaurant is Manolo's.

I'm pretty sure Manolo's is a few blocks west of the Prez. not far from the bronze statue of the pregnant woman. That's the place that's open 24 hours and has tables in the street behind a rail.

There is also a place that sells churros and a little soda one block east of the Prez at the southwest corner of that intersection.
