    La Casona del Maíz

    Continue west and the road slides right over the Interamericana. Just north of the intersection, La Casona del Maíz is usually jam-packed with families enjoying the spectacular Tico country cooking. The menu is heavy on the grilled meats and corn dishes, though there are veggie casados as well. The chorreadas are excellent, but don’t leave without sampling the tasty corn soup, studded with sweet, fresh kernels, or the falling-off-the-bone pork ribs (costillas de cerdo). Divine.
