I haven't been to CR for about 10 years, so I am sure lots has changed. Also my memory is a bit murky as to specific locations, but there is a famous corn shack there, they sell creamed corn, corn bread, corn pudding (you get the idea). It is fantastic. While I was there I existed off of bags of rambutan purchased from vendors outside the cloud forest. One thing I did notice about food in CR was an almost obsessive use of mayo. Mayo on pasta, mayo on salad, mayo in gallo pinto. I am not a mayo fan at all. On the plus side, most restaurants have several hot Hearts of Palm dishes on the menu, a fantastic way to eat Hearts of Palm and a nice change from the out-of-the can selection in most American restaurants.
