LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Their meats are basically ORGANIC
(currently there’s no “official certification” for organic of meat but
for all intensive purposes they are as they say “DF’s meat is produced
in harmony with nature and free from hormones, chemicals and
antibiotics!!! NO animal is more than 20 months old (this helps with
their guarantee to be tender and disease-free and insure that the
animals are matured naturally) and there’s very little corn in their
diet and they use a natural 15-20 day cureing process. It’s BY FAR the
MOST BEAUTIFUL/TENDER meat I’ve found in this country!!! Their farms are
located in La Fortuna near Arenal hence the cattle gets to graze on
grass from the WONDERFUL soil of this area!! They are also VERY
environmentally conscious.
HOLIDAY
FIXIN’S!! I sampled their side dishes like the Costa Rican version of
Sweet Potatoes - Camote - 8,495-feeds 6, Potato/Apple Salad -
8,995/feeds 6, Pumpkin Pie (they don't grow "pumpkin's as we know them) -
9,995/feeds 8, Pecan Pie - 16,500/feeds 12, Apple Pie-9,995/feeds 8.
For MY taste - their Mashed Potatoes (9,9950 - feeds 6) were the BEST
I've EVER had (there was garlic in them!!!).

8,995/kilo, 25-30 lbs 8,995/kilo; Turkey/Pavo Asado – 7 kilos/feeds

THEY’LL
PREPARE or GRILL YOUR MEATS FOR YOU!!!! THIS is MUI CHIVA (“cool”)!!!
Whether it be a steak you picked from the case for lunch (They have a
grill on the premise. NO fee for this and they have some prepared side
dishes you can buy like fried yucca, romero potatoes, potato salad, green
salad from 500-700 colones) OR any of their meats including Prime Rib
for that dinner party (or like me – you’re just not wanting to cook!!) -
for a small fee (I think about 2-3% of the cost). They’ll prepare it
for you PROPERLY – the way YOU like it!!!! Either go there and pick your
cut/what you desire or you can fax/call it in (they need about a day
for this) and DELIVERY is FREE with 10,000-c+ in purchases. FYI - Most
of the staff I’ve found only speak Spanish.
Be
it fresh, frozen or ready to eat meat of better quality than I’ve seen
at markets BY FAR. They carry everything from VEAL, LAMB, Beef, Pork,
Chicken, RABBIT, DUCK, Chorizo, Seasonal meats like TURKEY, whole
HAMS+++!! In their deli section, they have the BEST CHIMMY CHURI dipping
sauce I’ve EVER had (parsley, LOTS of garlic and what makes theirs so
great I think is they use olive oil) – YUMMMMM (sometimes I just dip
pieces of cooked chicken into it!!!)!!! They also carry cheeses like
camambert 2,200/piece, feta (Roteborg) 2,995/piece, PATE (pork liver)
3,100/kilo), turkey PASTRAMI 6,886/kilo and some other goodies. FYI -
Most of the staff I’ve found only speak Spanish.
