Description
Good to Know
This is a feel-good evening where everyone is welcome grill newbies and seasoned carnivores alike. You’ll be welcomed into an open-air space or cozy patio in San José, where coals are glowing, music is playing, and the scent of garlic, lime, and slow-roasted meat fills the air.
Start with a welcome drink, meet your hosts and fellow guests, and get right into prepping and grilling side by side. You’ll learn about Costa Rica’s cuts, how to build a perfect fire, and the secrets to juicy, flavor-packed meat. Along the way, you’ll snack, sip, laugh, and eat together like family.
Come hungry, leave inspired.
Why It’s Special:
Learn Costa Rica’s unique approach to grilling with a seasoned asador
Taste traditional cuts and marinades rarely seen outside the country
Connect with fellow travelers over smoke, music, and chilled drinks
Dive into culinary culture that blends indigenous, Afro-Caribbean, and Spanish influences

Classic sides and sauces for a full asado feast
Meals

Cooking equipment, apron, and recipes to take home
Step-by-step guidance from a local Costa Rican host
Transfer
Ignite your senses in the heart of San José with this immersive Costa Rican BBQ experience, where local cuts, fire-grilled flavors, and pura vida hospitality come together in perfect balance. This isn’t just a meal it’s a deep dive into Costa Rica’s backyard cooking traditions, hosted by a passionate local host who shares family secrets and flavor rituals you won’t find in any restaurant.
Expect a hands-on, flame-filled evening filled with laughter, sizzling meats, ice-cold drinks, and regional sides that paint the full picture of a Costa Rican “asado.” From marinated pork ribs to cassava fries and homemade tortillas, every bite tells a story. Whether you're a BBQ lover or a curious traveler, you’ll walk away with new skills, a happy belly, and a true taste of Tico culture.
This experience happens in the safety of our instructor's home and not in a culinary studio. You'll get a glimpse into how locals live, cook and eat.
