San José, Costa Rica - Welcome to San José, the capital and biggest city in Costa Rica, and one of the best places to eat Costa Rican food. Today we’re going on an ultimate Costa Rica street food tour, from the market to local restaurants and everything in between. Let’s go eat!
First of all a huge thank you to:
- Yeison and Samantha, follow them @mytanfeet
- Alex and Roberto from Chepe Cletas Tours
For taking me on this unforgettable Costa Rican food tour.
Mercado Central de San José (San José Central Market) - We’re beginning this tour at the central market in San Jose, the best place to take in the sights, sounds and ingredients of Costa Rica. Soda Tala, San José Central Market (goo.gl/maps/w8...) is without a doubt one of the city’s best stalls, known for their Gallo Pinto (Rice and beans) - the national dish of Costa Rica. We also tried Marisquería Brigitte for their Cadosas (Ceviche with Picaritas chips), which is something else you don’t want to miss. Finally, La Sorbetera de Lolo Mora is a perfect sweet finish to any market tour in San Jose.
Super Cholo Gigante at Super Cholo Gigante, San José Meat Market - After walking around the market, we then headed to the Meat Market and in the back there’s a restaurant that specializes in bocas, or small places of food. Here you can get all the classic Costa Rican foods, authentic and cooked to perfection.
Empanadas at La Empanadota - You can’t come to Costa Rica without trying an empanada and everyone seems to have their favorite. When they are deep fried hot and fresh and drizzled in five sticky sauces, they are hard to resist.
Next up with tried Costa Rican Coffee at Café La Mancha (goo.gl/maps/Si...) and it was the perfect afternoon boost.
And finally we tried some unique Ice cream at the famous Corazón Contento Pastelería, San José, Costa Rica (goo.gl/maps/KG...)
Again, thank you to Yeison and Samantha from My Tan Feet, and Alex and Roberto from Chepe Cletas Tours for taking me around San Jose, Costa Rica!

Next time you visit Costa Rica you need to travel to Limón, it’s Caribbean food is amazing!
En especial el Rice n beans soooo good men
Cierto, ojalá regrese y venga a Limón. 💚
Part #2 in the carribean!!! ❤❤ You need to go, is it an important culinary culture site of Costa Rica.
The only difference is that use coconut in some of their dishes plus the spicey of the panamnian peppers but that also make very very greasy high on saturated fats I can only eat a dish like that once a week so amazing NO you can get the same in other place except with out the coconut taste.

I think that everyone in their lifetime should visit Costa Rica! Their nature is from another world! Beautiful country
Bello comentario❤
PURA VIDAAAAA MAE❗️
Thanks for loving my beautiful country
Can't wait to return and visit the market.
So trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee my grandparents did that and they were adopted by this marvelous country and its people.
Isn't it fascinating how Brazilians and Costa Ricans share so much in common, including our daily staple of rice and beans? If it weren't for the language barrier, our countries could have even stronger bonds. ¡Amor desde Brasil a Costa Rica!
Lot of Costaricans speak Portuguese
Come on dude. Rice and beans. Really ?
@@paulnhbtx713 what do you mean, really? I'm Puertorican and we also eat rice and beans.
@@paulnhbtx713exactly lol. Related over beans and rice hahahahaha 😂😂😂
They have no army, so good luck with that! At least, the neighboring countries have one, like Nicaragua.
I was surprised that many Costa Ricans speak English, it is clear that they are a very educated population and not to mention their gastronomy, which goes almost unnoticed in the world but is clearly delicious!!!
as a tico, in schools, they teach English nearly as much as they teach Spanish, so thats why, greetings from CR :)
Obvio papi, aquí somos super tuanis, booooboclat!!
Claro, que por supuesto, que yes 😂
So if people don't SPEACK English they not well educated?
La gastronomía de costa rica es simplemente deliciosa...estuve en el mercado central de San José...y me anamore de toda su gastronomía es simplemente increíble....eso lo tiene que saber todo el mundo.... usa NY.
es pollo y arroz
Mija, el mercado no es bueno, ni esa soda buena, enrealidad en mi opinión es bastante mediocre y sobre exagerada. Comida típica.. Debes ir más a los pueblitos, Cartago y Guanacaste, acá cocinan con leña ( Dios mio, está gente hace cosas muy buenas).
el gallo Pinto es una comida simple para la clase media, es como comer pan con mantequilla, no es gourmet n mucho menos asombroso, es básico. Pero el tico le cogió cariño, debe ser comido con natilla y pan también.
@@tomassanchez4216básicamente publican esto para llamar la atención pero usted y yo sabemos que es jodidamente básica y hasta mala en algunos locales.
@@MascotasUcr yo no diría que mediocre , xq si es buena, pero yo dirìa que en los pueblos encuentra la vara mas tradicional y de buena calidad también..son comidas para el día a día
No es mediocre, es parte de la cultura de CR, así también hay otros sitios con culturas y comidas muy sabrosas, pero el marcado forma parte de esto. No hay que menospreciar. Yo lo invito a ir al Caribe o a santa cruz por unos chupitos jaja
I lived in San Jose for two years. It there is anything I miss about it, it's the food. I still frequently make Gallo Pinto here in the States.
i will get gallopinto on pay day and eat it on your honor
Gallo pinto is originally from Nicaragua not CR .
@@chevycamarogmail No sea tan payaso!
@@chevycamarogmail At the end pinto is mostly associated with CR not Nicaragua, also ours adds culatantro (don't confuse with cilantro), red sweet pepper and the traditional Lizano sauce that is similar to a Worcestershire sauce.
@@SayonaraCommit I find Salsa Lizano to be more similar to A1 Steak Sauce.
Visited Costa Rica before to film one of our TV show episode and I can vouch this! It's the kind of cuisine that says, 'Let's make the simple spectacular!' Aside from their interesting cuisine where ''satisfaction meets spice', it's full of adventure you'll definitely fall in love with!
Was lucky enough to live in costa rica in the mid 90s. Absolutely was the highlight of my life. Will go back some day!
Is amazing that most of the places you visited people speak really good English. Hope you enjoyed your visit in our beautiful country Costa Rica 🇨🇷 ❣️ I love your videos.
Hello Mark ! I am french but my Father is Vietnamese, i lived 9 years in Costa Rica in Atenas 15 minutes away from San Jose , funny thing is that i never went to those places in San Jose! I still LOVE Costa Rica and the people i ve learned to know, what a beautiful Country ❣️❣️❣️Hope that you will there a bit longer before you leave because San Jose is Not the best place to go and tasting Foods.
Big fan of you since Vietnam and Thailand food journeys 😁🤗. Thank you for the great work!! 🤗
Mark is so nice 😂 but Mark come on, we all know you didn’t like that drink with the turtle eggs. 😂 you almost hacked it up. 😂 love his content
😂 facts lol I had to search and search to see if someone said something about it LOL his eyes were watering and everything 😭 😂
lol yep his eyes! 😆@@thesylliest6627
I mean, it ain't tasty lmao 😂
on to top it off he got the extra, extra, extra large version from the owner! 😆😂
The guy is so stoned lmao
Mota is mid. Crippy. James Bond stoner talk for real for real hombre
Who Is Stoned!?
The dude name Alex with the beard and glasses lol only a stoner knows another stoner
He knows his herbs…😂
I thought so 😂😂😂
Costa Rica seems very cool, wish to have a chance visiting someday
"Chepeños"!!?? Naaah, never heard that, Josefino would be a more used term... Also the ceviche is not with Orange but lemon juice. Ticos comes from the words ending is "tico or tica" not "tito or tita" 🤔
He’s so grateful… and humble … that’s what’s so nice about him .
He's making the most out of the ketchup and Mayo chips, bless his heart ❤
Costa Rica is fantastic. The biodiversity is beyond amazing
I just love the way he talks about everything… he’s so positive and really appreciates all 😍 Costa Rica es el mejor lugar del mundo 🩵🥰
Veo a Mark desde hace años y me tomó por sorpresa ver que estaba aqui en MI PAÍS COSTA RICA!! amé este video ❤ gracias amigo puraaaa viddaaaaaa🇨🇷🇨🇷
Igual, vi todo el video con una gran sonrisa. Cuando salga a vacaciones me voy a llevar a mi mamá a dar una vuelta al mercado central de Chepe, me antojé de ese pinto. Soy de Cartago y nunca se me había ocurrido ir al mercado de chepe jajaja.
this makes me so excited for my upcoming trip next week. First thing on my agenda...FOOD!🤗
Pura Vida! Loved every minute I spent in Costa Rica 🇨🇷. Drove from San Jose to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. What a change of scenery reminded me so much of the Rift Valley region in Kenya but way greener. I’m definitely going back the hospitality was amazing.
you're always more than welcome 🇨🇷
Bros eyes started watering when he drank the turtle eggs 😂😂😂 he had to pretend to like it in front of everyone 😂😂😂
lol 😂😂😂
Ithought it would be disgusting the first time i tried it but i was really surprised by its taste. Its one of these things that looks bad but taste good.
20:03 time stamp
Because he bite the eggs and thats not the way to do it, you just drink the hole think, also its an aphrodisiac and actually thats why whe eat that lol
Mmm that plantain with the cheese melted on top looks soooo good!
It's not because we say "chiquitito" is because we say: "chiquiTICO" that's where the Tico comes from, most travelers get it wrong.
Costa Rican here, just want to clarify what the guy at 30:32 said, gallo in Costa Rica means a small portion of food, usually eaten with a tortilla, but not necessarily.
Thanks for coming to my country! you always have such positive energy I think it matches perfectly with our pura vida vibes haha
If you come to Costa Rica and stay In San Jose, then you know nothing of this country, the city is the worst that this country as to offer. everything outside is wonderful.
My girlfriend from Michigan retired and moved to Costa Rica,i hope to visit her some day .
Hello Mark I don't have an ad blocker but RUclips is preventing me from watching your video.
5:20 - LOL, lets face it, Mark hated it
Pura Vida ! I am really looking forward to the Costa Rica videos. I love the country for the beautiful natur, flora, fauna and very lovely people. I have to admit that I wasnt a huge fan of the food, but maybe thanks to you Mark, I will see another side of the food in beautiful Costa Rica.
After waching the video, I realise some reasons why I am not so entuistactic about Costa Rican food as you:
- I rarely eat meat, and I dont eat offals
- I dont have 4 guides when I visit and eat
- I get normal treatment, and dont get free meals, special attentions, special treatment etc. like you do at some places
I dont mean that as a critisms. I like your style and your videos a lot and its normal and well earned that you sometimes get a special treatment. Its just not how us "normals" experience it.
How are you a foodie and rarely eat meat? That eliminates a lot of cuisine from every culture. You don’t have to be a celebrity to get great treatment, if you order a restaurant’s full menu they will treat you well because you’re making them a profit. I ask the owner/manager/chefs basic questions about their cuisine and they will happily explain it to you if they’re proud of their food.
@@Dee0336 Not eating meat often doesnt meant that I cant be a foodie. Food is one of the most important things when I travel. And when its important and really traditional, I will eat meat. And yes, I almost ever get great treatments in restaurants, especially if tell them that I like their food. But still, I am certain that a person like Mark will get another treatment than a normal customer. Thats absolutely okay for me, and I dont mind it. I just wanted to point it out.
@@swissfoodie3542 the amount of different types of fuits and vegetables you can get in Costa Rica is just crazy, there's so many microclimates here, rain forests, cloud forest, dry forest, etc, etc
I'm curious about the green drink at the first dish. What is it called? And what is it made from?
Me too, I'm costarican but never have seen a Cas drink of that color... suspicious....
Just watched your video on the food in San Jose. You made me so excited to go there. I love your enthusiasm. We’re going there in January next year and I can’t wait try out some of the food at the market. Would be awesome to travel with you!
Dam that Gallo Pinto looks delicious 🤤 what a great way to start your day 😋
Costa rica street food is amazing 😋
Overacting
@9:22 Beefiness of the beef…..Mark Weins 2023
You said you did not like sweets, but there you are, putting them down !!!
What is that strange noise you made after drinking the beer ??
The Oddness The Weirdness The Wiensness
CR is not known for its cuisine but you can't complain about her fresh ingredients. I'm looking forward to traveling there again at end of month and can't wait to bite into a Jacote along with with Pejibaye. Holiday tamales might be also start being made which are my favorite.. If you're still there, must try a Olla de Carne soup which every auntie there makes well.
Pejibaye with mayo is a bomb
The sad part about knowing Spanish is you can hear them scam mark weins 😂as he eats
Thank you for such a nice video about the best food and markets in San Jose, Costa Rica 👍
I wonder, how much u eat ,where it goes?
After all these years following you around behind a screen, you've finally arrived in my hometown!
PURA VIDA MARK!
PS. We briefly met at the Westin in Guatemala during breakfast. Thank you to your family for the time and the picture!
Pura vidaaaaa
Hola migo. Follow yer show sometimes. So you in SJO? Get out and the food gets waaaaay better! Im in da mountains above Dominical. I too am a Chef. Beinvanidos! Salud. Pura Vida!
Doesn't your son, Micah, go to school? Or do you homeschool him?
Any food has tasted horrible? Come on, something must have?
Mark, I lived in Costa Rica when I was a child and you just made me miss Costa Rica so much more ❤
UmmmmmmmmmmmM......... AweSomeS TaSTyS DelIcIoUS fooDS...................
17 years since I left my land 😢, makes me so jealous, I want to stuff myself with all that delicious food we have in Costa Rica
Mark really does not like sweets, but that’s not why you watch his show. Great content.
I see that your son wanted a chip and some one pushed his hand back he wants to to eat with dad.
Bro I have been following for many years back when you were in Yucatán, I followed you through South American, Pakistan, Thailand, Africa, WHY ARE YOU IGNORING AND SKIPPING EL SALVADOR?
Que hermosura denpais y gastronomía extraordinaria y su capital San José demasiado bello❤❤
Mark is like a garbage bin! You can literally throw everything in it. 😂😂
I've been to costa rico before in puerto limon...but I didnt manage to go out because of my ship duties..Thanks for sharing the wonderful foods of Costa Rica .
way too many commercials for me to watch and enjoy.... so long.
Mark quoting Outkast with the "So fresh, so clean" :D
Looking forward to visiting Costa Rica, and now we know where to go and what to eat. Awesome, thank you!
*Haha never thought I would see the day you came here! Plus with Samantha as your guide.*
Mark, I think you have really strong stomach 😃This turtle eggs are for me inedible food. 😂Thanks for video. Do you know Olomoucké tvarůžky - Loštice?
Mark , you are always so gracious in your reviews. Even when you don't like the taste of the dessert in this video, you never give a review which you might think be conveyed as a biased review of it. The dessert you had was obviously super sweet and with milk powder, and condensed milk mixed in the ice, and you are known not to like super sweet foods, but you would only say "yeah... its super sweet , but refreshing..."...
That's great, and is in line with the person that you are... however, I don't think it's anything bad to sometimes provide a review that , tells the truth about the foods... "it's a little too sweet for me."... You are a food reviewer, and some foods are nice, some are passable, and some really does take some adjusting to it...
Mark cant smile.. it would rip his face
Thank you for coming to my country and trying our delicious food. I hope you come back, and truly, thank you for creating this space for the world to get to know my country a little more. God bless you.
omg, that dude just yoinked that poor girls drink.. @5.50 (unless they're a couple then its cool)
yes they are a couple, they have a blog here in Costa Rica
Hey Mark, love the video! We had a great time eating with you, hope you can come back to try some more food! Grateful to be part of your first Costa Rican food experience. See you soon!!
So awesome you got to meet Mark and excited he finally made it here to Costa Rica!
That was awesome. Looking forward to my return in January.
¡Tengo que decirte por qué viniste a Costa Rica!
El primer video me hizo querer verlo.
mark do u really have to take ur wife everywhere or she doesnt trust u
V8 with turtle eggs!
Bro, don't even lie you did NOT like the turtle egg or the Churchill (red kolita with the condensed milk). You were ready to spit up the turtle egg. Frankly, I don't blame you. You only have a turtle egg as a boca with a cold beer. Not even the Nicas eat them like that! And the Churchill is wayyy too sweet. They are for little kids and people who want to have diabetes when they're older
👍
lol yeah
He wants to be respectful to their culture
This is an amazing video Mark ! Salute from Belgium :D
Great 👍
10:46 it’s a microwaved hotdog bud
Not a clue what Alex has saying half the time 🙄
"The Chinese eat bats and turtles! Haven't they heard of schnitzel"?
It all looks so good. Now I really want that plantain with cheese!
wow oh wow
wiens could eat a peach for hours...
Mark. Do you have an insane workout routine for all these foods that you eat?
I was just wondering that 😂😂
The difference of a vlog w fixers is that its narrated third person, instead of discovered in first person with the people who live it.
True, we love to find little restaurants and experience them first hand as we film. Makes it very authentic for us and our audience. We filmed at a place called Big Momma's Kitchen near Playa Conchal here in Costa Rica. We didn't expect too much when we got there, but the experience was amazing. We arrived as strangers and left as friends.
I wonder how often a mark gets Food poisoning…
Hey Mark, thanks for visiting us. But you have to visit Limon, Costa Rica. The food is amazing I promise. Rice and beans, rondon, patty, mogambos, Sopa, bochinche casado and another tasty dishes.
I agree. Limon is the best province. My whole family is from Limón. I live in Alajuela right now and used to live in Chepe. Limón by far embodies the culture, history and traditions of Costa Rica better than any other province. The food is better because limon is not catered to tourism in the way that every other province is.
@@freshgeek18 mae, pero si Limon es pura comida caribeña. Es importante y parte de Costa Rica si, pero de ahi a decir que solo la gastronomia Limonense representa al pais ya nada que ver. Cuando la gastronomía es prácticamente la adaptacion al paladar tico de la que trajeron los afrodescendientes de las Antillas y distintas zonas de las americas en su ruta hacia el norte, en busqueda del sueño americano.
Guanacaste es otro que tiene otro tipo de gastonomia igualmente importante, y despues esta la gastronomia del valle central que la misma que la del resto del pais.
Por ultimo tenemos la gastronomía china-americana adaptada al paladar tico, que la conseguimos en cualquier restaurante Chino en Costa Rica.
@@Zakaros1000 Limon is the best province by far bro. All of Costa Rica is beautiful but Limón has the best vibes and culture in my opinion. But I could be biased 😂
@@Zakaros1000 Limón no es pura comida caribeña. Literalmente todas las comidas que salieron en el video (con excepción de las recetas propias de los locales) se comen aquí, con el plus de que también se puede conseguir comida caribeña.
Limón es multietnico y de las zonas con más diversidad, no todos son afrodecendientes.
I mean a country like Costa Rica doesn't even have an army. It could get invaded by Nicaragua with the help of Russia.
Nah.... Costa Rica can raise an army in case of war (by constitution), there's an existing police force and Costa Rica is supported by OEA countries.... If Nicaragua tries that they are fucked....
MARK PLEASE GO TO CALI COLOMBIA !!!!!🇨🇴
Hope ya like rice and beans.
I can picture Mark passing gas all night, sorry Mark lol
Totally. After all that for sureee 😂
My guy is higher than a satellite!
Love ❤ from India 🇮🇳
Mark. You have to be living the Dream. I know behind the seen. Not everything goes smooth. However your always smiling and look so happy .it feels like its always a perfect day for you!God Bless !
Mark, I don't want to be mean, but Alex was as high as a kite. Which is kind of a normal costarican food experience
Love what sounds like Micah's endorsement of the ceviche!
Slow down a little? Less coffee
I had a rough time lately and I don’t smoke but the guy with the glasses and beard kinda made me jealous. He’s so checked out and eating good food smiling, I feel away about it! Good for him!😂😂😂
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
😂😂😂
What has to do that guy with you don't smoking?
@@ingrid6295 What an innocent creature you are my dear 😂
Hi Mark ! I'm from Costa Rica. When did you came to our country?
My first job was at a shave ice shack and La Sorbetera reminded me so much of it! I would double fist the syrups and pour condensed milk on top. We called it "snow cap" though. We had about a hundred combos and the red one Mark had looked like a popular one called Mustang Sally! What an exciting tour 🍧
Ah man just discovered this channel! I'm in Andorra currently and I haven't discovered the local food yet! I make videos whilst traveling the world but don't do any local food reviews! He's doing this so right! Much to learn
Mark, if you still in San Jose and want some dim sum. Go to Restaurante Wong’s.
Hey Mark, great to see you are enjoying delicious food in our country. Gallo Pinto, Chifrijo, Casado, Ceviche, Olla de Carne, Pescado Frito, a great variety of fruits and MUCH MORE. God bless you and have a great time. Pura vida, tuanis mae 🇨🇷🇺🇲
Chifrijo is the best! We will be filming at a hidden gem soda in Nicoya in a couple weeks that looks like it has good Olla de Carne. Can't wait to try it and let everyone know what it's like!
@@TheDufresnes the one with Cubaces (a type of bean similar to red kidney beans) is the best. You should also try Rice and Beans, which is similar to Gallo Pinto but prepared with coconut and panameño pepper; served with caribbean style chicken, salad and fried ripe plantains.
@@BA0777 we're hoping to go to the east coast this coming year. We've been living and filming here in Costa Rica for 6 years and have explored a lot already and eaten a lot of good dishes. But still need to see and film the Caribbean!
And mondongo.
@@robertovalverde9573 cow's stomach soup basically. Good with white rice, tabasco sauce and lemon.
How many advertisements do I have to watch mark
Mark Wiens is living the life I dream of.
If you dream it, make it happen.
Notice Mark never looks into his guests eyes only at the camera.
Come to the Caribbean side of Costa Rica in Puerto Viejo. You have the try the food on the coast, its different flavors! come try Ron don soup, costilla in salsa caribeno with rice & beans and more I will give you a tour!
We really want to go to the Caribbean side and film!
What is the name of those sticks at the beginning to create the jelly like drink that is good for the stomach?
Finally you visit my beautiful country!!!! I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you go to Puerto Limon…. Most amazing food from Costa Rica.
