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.

But besides “Casados”, in Chubascos also excel grilled meats, the garlic Tilapia and Tongue in sauce, not forgetting some vegetarian options, such as Chile stuffed with potatoes, serve in a “Casado” presentation.

Añoranzas Bar, Restaurant and Museum opened its doors on June 17th, 1992, thanks to the dream of Javier Leandro and his wife Ana Cecilia, to open a restaurant in “Villa Tranquila,” which was his family getaway farm. That dream was enough for the birth of what is now known as Complejo Turístico Añoranzas (Añoranzas Tourist Complex), whose name was suggested by the Costa Rican folkloric Miguel Salguero, in honor to the atmosphere and decor of the place.
Añoranzas Restaurant started slowly, always sure of achieving its purpose designed to offer the best service and quality possible in a healthy and totally familiar environment, where the key to success, was undoubtedly, its originality.
The idea of a place as different as the Añoranzas restaurant is, as Javier said, “Maybe it was born on a hunch, perhaps a childhood memory or maybe just a challenge that fate had prepared”, as for many years, he had been collecting antiques as a hobby, which he never imagined would serve to display at his restaurant.
Añoranzas has a space for those seeking to rest and decide to take a breath, letting fly their dreams and wondering between the scent of the forest in a rustic and cozy ambiance. The restaurant offers the most representative dishes from the Costa Rican cuisine rescuing the flavor of the food of our grandmothers, which identifies it as one of the best in this field.
Añoranzas restaurant has a very unique decor, full of old newspapers on the walls, calendars, old photos, and many but many memories, that make many people come, as its name implies, to yearn about old times. The restaurant also has an amazing play area that now offers on weekends a water slide, a mini canopy zip line and a trampoline. It also has a soccer field and ample parking lot.
