I went to Jalapenos on a Friday night and it was packed. We were seated immediately. The server was very friendly and spoke some English. We had soft tacos, frijitos and key lime pie for desert. The Pico and fire roasted salsa was delicious. I would heartily recommend this establishment

3. La trilla

Nice place for great time, dinner and enjoy!!! New manager
Reviewed By Ralph P - Anchorage, Alaska
La Trilla was recommended by our hosts but I'd have to say not my favorite restaurant so far in our 4 days we've been in Atenas. Server was not the friendliest we've encountered (he was the only one working but we were 1 of 2 tables.) and food was mediocre. Nothing spectacular nor worth returning any time in case the food or service would be better a second time. Ambiance was neat but that's pretty much the only thing we liked about La Trilla. That and they did have yucca fries.
4. Don Yayo Chicharonerra

Reviewed By Gdo_Castillo - San Jose
Don Yayo offers really good chicharrones and the ambience is good. This is a bar with good bar food.
5. La Fiesta de las pupusas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 57 reviews
Reviewed By Evesol - Moravia, San Jose
This is the best place to go in case you want a real Pupusa. I've tried a lot of pupusas in different places in San José, but this one is by far the best one. Good prices, and excellent food. (try the maduro con queso /sweet plantain with cheese) My favorites are the mixed ones but you can have it only of Chicharrón
6. Antano

4.5 based on 104 reviews
Reviewed By Glassman3300 - Playa Flamingo
Antano's is a nice local restaurant in Atenas. Good food, beer and wine at reasonable prices.The Horchata (rice milk) drink was excellent.
7. La Fiesta del Maiz
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 80 reviews
Reviewed By NYE2015 - Saint Louis, Missouri
We stopped by to have lunch and there were about 30 people here, mostly Ticos. Whenever we see more than 4 people at a restaurant, esp Ticos, we hope we got lucky. The food was just okay, nothing special. We will more than likely not go back, it's just not to our liking.
8. Kay's Gringo Postres and Cafe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 118 reviews
Kay's Gringo Postres roughly translated means Kay's NorthAmerican Sweets. Kay and her husband, Tom, from South Dakota, started out as a tiny pastry and coffee shop and grew into the only place in Atenas and for miles around that serves real American soul food - heavenly cheeseburgers and crispy fries, several types of grilled cheese sandwiches, BLT's, amazing breakfasts as well as an all you can eat Sunday Brunch buffet. The cakes, cookies and pie are homemade and defy description.It's a gathering place for locals as well as expatriates, They also maintain a lending library with English, German, French and Spanish books.

Four of us ate there around 10 in the morning. One person had the Greek salad and the others had breakfast. Eggs, sausage, pancakes, toast- all cooked and presented well. The Greek salad was especially delicious. Our server, Mercedes, was efficient and friendly. They also have a nice variety of freshly made desserts.
9. Balcon de Cafe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 210 reviews
Reviewed By MichiganZumbido - Michigan
My companion and I had breakfast here. For me the Desayuno Aleman and mi amiga the French Toast. Both done to request, filling and delicious! We sat on the side balcony well screened from the noise of the street. The waitress was attentive and solicitious. The menu offers a wide range of dinning choices for breakfast, lunch, or a complete dinner. The venue also offers a range of canned goods emphsizing German fare. My companion found her favorite, saurkraut, no mean feat in a Latin country. Also, in keeping with the German theme, is a display case of meats, German sausage included, and various breads, cakes, torts, empanadas, media lunas, and jams and marmalade. Pickles even! Superb!
10. El Restaurante Guanacaste
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
One the best restaurants in Atenas. Only La Trocha compares.
Reviewed By Zoy Freytag Hor... H - Saint-Pierre, Reunion Island
surroundings are so so, you are surrounded, circled by the cars parked around the restaurant, no true decoration
the service is agreeable and 'tranquilo'
the menu has ups and downs: spaghetti tasteless and full of water, fabulous smoked porc, chicken meat over cooked and stone hard, fantastic and enormous salad with shrimps (a wee bit of salad sauce or olive oil would have been great on the veggies), decent fried cheese
water, beer, sodas and wine, a very decent choice
