I must be the only guy here who is not crazy about the place. I have been to Argentina more than once. The menu has some plates that are imported from BA so I vied for these on more than one occasion. They were just average probably since I have never had frozen meat from BA before. The place has a really good atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. If you want real steak go to Argentina but if you want to get just a taste of it go here.
I'll second that.
We ate there Sunday night. The food wasn't terrible, just not so great as the folks here make it out to be. The churrasco was undercooked and gristly. However, the service and ambiance were good. I suspect I'll give it another try next month, it is possible we got both got bad cuts.
Donde Carlos is EXCELLENT. Pricy, but one of the best steaks I've had in SJO.

I'll third that

I live in Miami, and we have, it seems, one of every Latin American cusine place you could imagine - but no places I'm aware serving food from Costa Rica - I love the place but a foodies paradise its not
