Fodor's Expert Review Plaza España
$$$
Escazu
Spanish
Generous portions of Spanish tapas and entrées draw diners to this whitewashed adobe house up the hill near San Antonio de Escazú. Presentation isn't the strong suit here: straight-up good food is, as are reasonable prices. Wooden-bench tables are distributed along a wraparound porch with views of the Central Valley; inside, tables are arranged in small-to-medium rooms. Start with a pitcher of sangria and begin sampling; the extensive menu includes dishes such as tortilla española (Spanish omelet).
