Costa Rica Podcast Show

The latest video podcast from Costa Rica Talk Radio features a walking tour of downtown San Jose, Costa Rica by Alan and Steve.  We were hungry and looking for Rosti-Pollos!  Our search for some of that tasty chicken from Rosti-Pollos turned into this short video walking tour of downtown San Jose.

The video podcast starts as we’re walking through the Plaza de la Cultura which is a nice plaza right in downtown San Jose which is closed off to traffic so it’s one of the only places in Costa Rica that pedestrians can walk around carefree without having to dodge oncoming cars.  During our walk you’ll see El Teatro Nacional which is Costa Rica’s National Theater and El Gran Hotel de Costa Rica which is a large hotel which used to be the most luxurious hotel in Costa Rica back in the day.

We then cut through the Centro Comercial Omni which is located in Avenida Primera near the Calle 3 y 5 downtown.  This was a stroll through memory lane since I spent a lot of my youth in the Omni playing “maquinitas” (video games) in the arcade which is still in business!  We then exited out to Avenida primera until finally finding a Rosti-Pollos restaurant across the street from Cine Variedades (beautiful architecture from the late 19th century, this theater started as a regular stage theater until a film projector was added and movies began showng in the silent movie era of the 1920’s).  The movie theater has been decalred a national monument in 1999 so it will live long in history!

And at last our search for Rosti-Pollos is complete and our hunger has been tamed by their tasty rotisserie style chicken, corn tortillas, yucitas, and salad.
