Experience Details

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.
