You can't visit Costa Rica and skip the real thing — the breakfast the locals grew up on. Breakfast #6 is my traditional tico breakfast in Jacó: gallo pinto, eggs, sweet plantains and natilla, cooked fresh in your own villa kitchen. As Jaco Beach Chef, I bring the whole authentic spread to you, so your group can taste real Costa Rican cooking without leaving the villa — see the full menu at www.jacobeachchef.com. Here's exactly what's on the plate.
What's on the Breakfast #6 plate
Every plate starts with fresh hot coffee, orange juice, and ice-cold water. Then comes the heart of it: gallo pinto, the classic Costa Rican mix of rice and beans cooked with peppers, onions and cilantro, served with fried eggs — sunny side up or scrambled, your call.
Around it I plate the rest of the traditional spread: sweet fried plantains (plátanos maduros), caramelized and soft; a spoon of natilla (Costa Rican sour cream); fried cheese; and warm tortillas to pull it all together. It's the authentic, home-cooked breakfast that gives your trip a real taste of the country — the kind of plate you'll be talking about long after you fly home.
Why have it cooked in your villa
When I cook your breakfast menu in your rental, there's no waiting for a table, no splitting a bill, and no rushing out the door. Everyone eats together, hot and fresh, on your schedule. Serving authentic Costa Rican food in your own kitchen is one of my favorite parts of the job — and it costs less than you'd think. See how my simple pricing works: $10 per person, per plate, plus the cost of the food and a small service charge.
Perfect for groups and events
Feeding a bachelor party, wedding group, or big family? This plate scales beautifully — same menu, same pricing, just more of it. A real tico breakfast is a memorable way to kick off a group day, and it's a favorite for event catering in your Jacó Beach villa rental.
