Dining Al Fresco In Alajuela

Are you new to Costa Rica? Alajuela will be a perfect destination for exploring the country’s dining culture. Let Eatagram be your guide.

The city lures visitors with its lush surroundings and incomparable Central American cuisine.

If you’re not sure what to try while in Alajuela, here are some delicious tips. If you prefer full hearty breakfasts, you’ll be in the right place. Start your day with chifrijo. It’s a go-to snack made with rice, beans, pork, salsa pico de gallo, and crispy tortilla chips. Give it a try! And remember to complement it with a cold beer or a refreshing tropical cocktail.

Those who stick to a healthy diet, can luxuriate in the abundance of fresh tropical fruit. Visit the local market to get some mangoes, pineapples, and many more exotic fruits.

If you can’t go without soups, be sure to taste olla de carne. This rich beef and vegetable stew will be a very comforting meal. 

When it comes to desserts, treat yourself to a slice of tres leches cake, a cake made with three sorts of milk. We prefer arroz con leche, a delicate rice pudding with vanilla and cinnamon. It goes well with freshly brewed coffee and really melts in your mouth.

Spend a weekend in Alajuela and you’ll fall in love with Costa Rica!
