Hope Chelles is up and running by the end of the month.For you wood fired chicken lovers there is also a place on the East side of Calle 1 between Ave 3 and 5 not far from the gulch.Several outhers about town.rbc100

There goes my cheap lunch! Think I ate there every day last trip, will have to find Pollo Campesino if they're not back in business. (Since I spend all my dinero on pu*sy about 1000 colones is all I can swing for lunch)

I had no idea that there was a fire at one of my favorite eating establishments. I walked down Avenida Central today,and I saw the charred ruins. As soon as I arrived,there was my favorite waiter,Eugene. He was helping with the discarding of the ruins. He told me that the owner had NO INSURANCE so re-opening was up in the air. He also told me that the fire did indeed start on the second floor of the Mariscar. I guess it's time to find another favorite roasted chickem place unless you like you chicken "very well done".

VB,
Looks like a business opportunity.

Now that is truly a Master Card priceless moment:

Watching sweating VB throwing more coffee wood on the blazing fire under a huge rotating spit of chicas, oops sorry meant chicks.

Hmmm there's a thought. We could serve roasted chicas,with refried Gringos (since their brains are fried from the time they arrive here anyways,) How about a monger stew? Instead of using coffeewood we could use the e-mails that the chicas use to ask their "favorite Gringos" for money. If we put them in fax form,we could probably cook for years from the DR chicas alone. We could have a separate menu with grossly inflated pricas for the Gringos who arrive with a chica because we all know how they love to throw away their money on the girls. As all the chicas enter the restaurant we could have Hans Solo and Don Gordo handing out lollipops as a welcome wagon. Of course there would be a magnanimous 1% discount for all VIPs of CRT. The entrees and benefits could be endless... Massages from the ZB girls. Shoeshines from the famous Shoeshing boy, blood pressures taken by the phony Doctors, and for a little local color each table could have their own beggar boy.

Don't forget the nun as spiritual advisor and Gut Bucket Guy for live music.

I was downtown this morning 3/31 and Chelles is open for business.

BUMP

Is the Mariscar back open yet?

Hopefully heading down in August and hoping to eat some great tasting and cheap pollo.

No Mariscar is not open and will not be for awhile.

Just had lunch at the Pollo Campesino, VB mentioned it last night. Very good and similar to Mariscar in menu and price. I had 1/2 chicken combo which came with papas fritas, ensalada, tortillas y refresca for 1550 colones. What a deal, they also have some chinese entrees and an ice cream cooler on the way out. They even had the Yankee/Boston game on. I had my food under 2 minutes after ordering. All this just 1 block S. of the Presidente on the corner.

Going now to look for dessert at the DR.

PS, Mariscar seems to be rising from the ashes, the steel trusses are going up now...

I agree completely with PacoLoco. Pollo Campesino has fantastic chicken and is very reasonably priced. I've been going there for a while but I have never seen another gringo in there. Maybe now that Mariscar is out of service some of you guys will give it a shot. They also have good eggrolls (tacos chinos).
