Top 5 gastronomic places in Greece: rich restaurants

Do you love to eat well? Let's explore 5 great dining options in the Greece area.

Grecia is a town with a lot of flavor. Apart from the typical sodas with casados, there are several pizzerias, Mexican restaurants and cafes that may surprise you. We chose 5 to comment in this article but it is definitely an area of Alajuela in which gastronomy is growing.

1. MASQSABOR

Looking for a little more spicy and international flavor than a casado? Más Q Sabor Food & Drinks is arguably the best Mexican restaurant in the area. It's actually Texan, mixing more typical American dishes like burgers with classic Texan burritos and tacos.

Don't miss their ceviche, nachos, patacones or fajitas! The service is very good and the atmosphere is cozy and pleasant. The music is not too loud which allows an intimate conversation about the delicious food they serve. Also, the price/quality ratio is very good. They have a menu for lunch, dinner, coffee and drinks. 

Address: 2 Lucas Fernandez Street, next to the Greece Post office

Hours: Monday - closed, Tuesday to Saturday - 11:30 AM to 7:30 PM, Sunday - 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM

2. Miguel's House

Another option with a quiet atmosphere and delicious and varied dishes is La Casa de Miguel. They offer Costa Rican food but their menu is very wide and you can find many types of food. There is a great offer of national and international beers as well. The portions are large and they have received many compliments for the salmon and garlic fish.

The terrace is cool and it is a nice place to relax and enjoy your meal. The prices are a bit expensive but the food is very tasty and the service is good too. Reservations are accepted, there is parking nearby and there is also an event room.

Address: 50 meters west of the Fire Department, Avenida Central León Cortés Castro.

Hours: Monday - closed, Tuesday to Thursday - 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Friday to Saturday - 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Sunday - 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Mouthwatering nachos topped with salsa, picadillo, cheese, beans and meat. Tasty food from Mexico. Offered in Grecia, Alajuela. Tasty restaurants that we recommend.

3. Café del Patio Gourmet Restaurant

This patio, as the name says, is gourmet. The space has plants, an open kitchen and simply a very pleasant and intimate atmosphere. Although the menu is not very extensive, there are options for everyone. It's a good place to bring kids or even a first date. A cool breeze blows in which makes the dining or coffee experience very pleasant. There are gluten free options and the pastries are fresh. Customer service is good and they allow you to bring your own wine. The dishes are created with a lot of passion and creativity, all with a special aesthetic. The only regret is that the prices have gone up, but the experience is worth it!

Address: Avenida 4, Calle 4, 4100 Grecia

Hours: Monday - 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Tuesday to Sunday - 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Wednesday - 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM

4. Nelson's Ranch

Another restaurant we chose is Nelson's Restaurant as the owner himself, Nelson, is always there, making sure that the food is of the best quality and that the customers are satisfied. He is Greek and very passionate about the culinary arts. The variety of the menu is wide, with typical dishes (of which we recommend the special casado), meats, seafood and more. The prices are reasonable and the amount of food per plate is quite a lot. The space itself is not so luxurious but it is cozy and worth it since the service and taste are very good.


Address: 6th Street, between 4th Avenue and 6th Avenue

Hours: Monday - 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Tuesday to Sunday - 12:00 md to 9:00 PM, Saturday - 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM

A ranch, some chairs, some tables, the interior of a restaurant. The man in the background answers the call. It is a place to eat. It is cozy and with many wooden details.
El Rancho de Nelson: cozy, tasty dishes and a pleasant ambiance

5. Pizza Il Capo 

Finally, we must mention Pizza Il Capo, a pizzeria located in the Mall Plaza that has a pleasant atmosphere and a selection of excellent pizzas. They also offer fresh pasta and large marriages. Its flavor comes from the stone oven and the dedication with which each pizza and dish is prepared. The service is good and the dishes actually come out quite fast considering how tasty and healthy they are. At night it has a tavern feel and is a good place for a date or to go and enjoy a beer. It's very clean, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is very quiet.  

Address: Mall Plaza Grecia

Hours of operation: Monday to Sunday - 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM
