Costa Rica has exactly one place on the list so far: Pinchos Panchos, honored by Eater.
-
Rank 1. Pinchos Panchos
Barbecue
The smiling pig in a chef's hat on the logo sets the tone: this is a casual, family-friendly skewer spot built around wood-fired pinchos, the meat-on-a-stick tradition Ticos reach for when carnita cravings hit. Pork with chorizo, pork with vegetables, chicken, all charred over wood and served with barbecue, hot, or pineapple sauce. Massive steel hoods handle the smoke. A cheerful, unpretentious place to eat with your hands.
