Junior's, San José Costa Rica's BEST burgers since 1975. On the west side of parque central / central park.

Burgers cooked to order on a flat-top. Ask for sliced raw white onion, trust me.

Simple, fresh, crispy & tasty!

They make & use 100 kg
(that's 220 lbs) of masa DAILY!

I asked the owner the day I took this photo in 2012

Camarones del Rio (river shrimp)

They are like crawfish & can be found in remote streams in the hills above Jacó. Only locals know their exact locations

This was taken in local restaurant up there. Those are boiled yuca served with the camarones.

We got there by quads

Soda water with oil of mastic - pistaccia lentiscus. Highly prized in the Eastern Mediterranean, this aromatic gum, an ancient precursor to chewing gum, is purported to have digestive and antiseptic properties and grows only on the Greek island of Chios. The soda is unsweetened, crisp, and delicious. To me anyway. #Mediterranean #plants #localfoods #regionaldelicacies #gummastic
