- BBenvipTampa / Central Florida West •60 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis place has the best burgers in CR. Always consistently juicy, cooked to perfection, and served with the truffle fries which are to die for. I mean the service is great, and the steak, salads and seafood are excellent but if you ever have a taste for a great burger, they also provide that.More infoThe Capital Grille - San JoséPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Escazu•5

- BBernarditaCosta Rica •1 review5.0Dined on 21 Sept 2024It's the fourth time I visit Buchon and it's definitely one of the best restaurants in Costa Rica. It is very difficult to find a place that has amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing ambience and service, and amazing prices. No matter what type of food you like, I guarantee you'll have an incredible experience at Buchon. Their menu changes seasonally but it has always delivered and they maintain customer favorites. The burger and cheese cubes are a MUST. If it's your first time visiting, don't worry about parking on the street or with the local guachiman, you're in good hands!More infoBuchon CantinaPrice: Moderate• Wine Bar• San José•4.5
