Translates to Home of Mrs. Lela Restaurant. This is one of the most famous typical restaurants in Costa Rica. You will usually see more locals than tourists in this restaurant. All of the restaurants are located in the Central Valley. Rice, chicken, beans, pico de gallo, arroz con leche are basically what you can expect to see on your plate. Prices range from $5 to $8 a plate. You can find much better prices if you eat out at a local Soda, however most tourist feel more comfortable eating in a restaurant that seems to be cleaner and more like a restaurant back home. All of the waiters wear old typical Costa Rican clothes, along with the famous Costa Rican farmer’s hat. They serve all of their meals on a wooden plate, and on a banana leaf. EXT only gives this restaurant a rating of 2.5/5 because we know there are so many better places to eat out in this country.
