Average Costa Rican spot. The gallo pinto and plantains were decent, and portions were fair for the price. Service was polite but not particularly attentive. Atmosphere is casual and simple. Food arrived a bit lukewarm on one dish. Fine for a quick authentic-ish meal, but nothing that stood out enough to make it a regular. Okay overall.

I tried the burrito at El Gallo Pinto Costa Rica on Hull Street Rd, and it was definitely a good size with a unique flavor. The service was good and friendly, but a little slow. That being said, even though it had a Mexican flag next to it, it’s really not anything like a Mexican burrito. It has its own style and taste, so I think they should probably market it differently to avoid confusion.

This is one of the few places in town that you can get breakfast lunch or dinner to go at 5 AM in a choose from a buffet in the kitchen type of setting. The prices are very reasonable. I walked out with plates all the time that should be $30 and I pay $10-$15. Also, they have a variety of Latin foods.
