Chubascos is a typical Costa Rican cuisine restaurant located in Fraijanes, Alajuela, which opened its doors in 1982, thanks to the dream of Mrs. Gennie Morera Pacheco of recovering the traditional cooking method Costa Rica’s Central Valley homes.
Chubascos Restaurant was initially located in the little hut where Mrs.Gennie and her children used to trip to, with only about six tables, the kitchenette of firewood and three other people helping, including Mayra and Alina, who still work here.
Raising the restaurant was difficult because at that time there were not many businesses in the area and the road was still a dirt road, so the Varablanca or San Pedro de Poas route was used to get to Poas Volcano. However, with the help of several friends such as Otto Castro, Marta Nuñez and Miguel Cordero, and once the road was paved, many vehicles started to use this route, especially the first buses of foreign tourists. It was when the restaurant began receiving American groups through some agencies, that’s why in 1988, Chubascos had to expand its facilities.
After the death of Mrs. Gennie, her children: Manuel, Lucia, Julia, Camilo and Inti, assumed the responsibility to continue with the restaurant. Manuel, later broke away to start another journey with Jaulares, located a little higher on the road, remaining the other four who still keep the spirit of the beginning.
For many years, Camilo took responsibility for the business, who improved and developed some of the main recipes, such as its contribution to improving the “Tortilla Aliñada”. Eventually, Lucia, Inti and Julia became more integrated and today, the restaurant is manage by a curious family collegial administration with very good results.
