Chicharronera Don Yayo

Great place, great food, amazing service. So far, the best Chicharrones place I have eaten at.

A previous houseguest left a bottle of their salsa behind. I don’t like eggs but with some sprinkles of this VERY hot sauce I was eating them regularly. Knew we had to go to check out their food. It was AMAZING! The staff were incredibly kind and the menu had lots of variety. We will definitely be coming back here.

First time eating at this place. We were amazed. We are from Heredia and we are sure to be back soon.

Nice place to eat a good chicharron, full of locals which means something 😊 although the service is not so fast and efficient

Great service, chifrijo is a great starter. Order a corona with lime in a glass.

Great food good service.

Yep, it's all about the chifijo. Also had some of my wife's casado... very tasty. And a nice place to come and wind down.

Best Chifrijo of all time!

Food was great. Service was good. This place is very popular among the locals that live here. I recommend here when I was visiting and it's very nice. Kind of like a sports bar but very big inside. They had a lot of choices and they also have a kids menu. They have a lot of drink choices as well. I like the Imperial they have since that what the locals drink.

Outstanding chifrijo! We’ve tried it all over the country and this was the best. Friendly staff and great service. All around great spot in Atenas. Highly recommend!!

BEST chifrio around. Also, the consume de pollo is fantastic but be advised it takes about 25 minutes to make.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! This was the first restaurant we visited on our trip to Costa Rica and we worried about our poor Spanish. The waiter was great! He seemed to enjoy practicing his English and even taught us some Costa Rican phrases - pura vida! The food was top notch!

Great meal and friendly service

This place is a perennial favorite. It identifies itself as a chichoronero and it delivers on its promise. Good tico bar food, great service and pricing, and ice cold beer. This is a true taste of Costa Rica culture..

We tried the chifrijo based on another review, and it was definitely a not to be missed dish while you are in Costa Rica. The waiter encouraged us to do a mix of crispy and not crispy pork, and that was perfect. Chifrijo = chicharron (fried pork) + frijoles (beans). There was also pico de gallo for added zest. Yum!

Casado with pollo was excellent too.

If you order coffee, be aware that there might be a wait. They seem to need to go next door to get it, but it was delicious.

They will help you park and back out into busy street. It's good to give the parking attendant a tip of a few coins or maybe a 1000 colones bill.
