Massive Costa Rican Meat Feast at Restaurante Nuestra Tierra

Join us as we dive into a MASSIVE meat tray at Restaurante Nuestra Tierra, right in the heart of San José, Costa Rica!

We ordered a giant platter loaded with steak, sausage, chicken, pork ribs, and crispy chicharrón — and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the flavors were authentic, and the portions were HUGE! Plus, the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

That said — this spot definitely has a bit of a tourist trap vibe. It’s a lively place that’s clearly popular with visitors, so if you’re looking for a super local, low-key experience, just keep that in mind. But honestly? We still had a great time and would recommend it if you’re craving classic Costa Rican food in the city center.
