  1. Ké Ceviche

    Peruvian

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    Picaritas bags split open and loaded with ceviche, mayonnaise, and hot sauce, then dusted with Tajín: that's a caldosa, and it's the thing to order at this compact ceviche spot in Escazú. The room runs entirely blue, walls to cold bar, and the menu leans into Costa Rican style, long-marinated in lime, sweet peppers, purple onion, and cilantro, with fish, shrimp, squid, and blood clam all in the mix.

    • Ceviche costarricense

      “Ceviche costarricense gets its distinct flavor from a long marinade in a blend of lime juice, sweet red peppers, purple onions, and lots of cilantro at this local destination for fish, shrimp, squid, and piangüa (blood clam) ceviches.”

    • Caldosas

      “Not to be missed are the trendy caldosas: opened bags of Picaritas (spicy chips) filled with a choice of ceviche and dressed with mayonnaise and hot sauce.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
