Tasty, Healthy, Variety, Quick, and Best Value. My Favorite!

I loved sampling this Asian-type buffet. I had just completed some dental work so I asked the server (Owner-son) to recommend softer options. I had to chew slowly and with limited teeth but loved every bite! Truthfully, if I had not just had dental work I would have ordered two plates (each with 4 options) so I could sample more. The food leaves you feeling satisfied (both palette, and wallet) and I felt I had eaten a healthy meal that my digestion loved. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If it was in my home town, I would be eating there weekly - and in fact multiple times a week.

The owner/server spoke enough English to make ordering easy. Very welcoming.

Pros: Mostly Vegan AND Healthy (not oily), Excellent Value, You can see what you are ordering

Cons: Washroom not fully functional, Restaurant decor could be spruced up a little bit

Small unsuspecting place with great food!

Small little place with locals eating there - always a good sign! 100% would go back. The prices were excellent and the family that runs the kitchen was friendly. Delicious Asian food with large portions. There are maybe 16 options to choose from and you can get up to four for a normal meal. Two meals cost us ~5,000 COL!

My favorite place to eat in San Jose

I love this little place! The Taiwanese family that owns it is super sweet, and the food is always amazing. They make 10-15 different things a day, and you choose 4 portions for 2500 colones. They change it up all the time, but some of my favorites are the sweet and sour veggies, the chickpea/pejibaye, the oyster mushrooms, and the potato curry. They also make vegan dumplings! I think it's 3600 colones (or about $6) for a huge plate of 20 - and they are delicious.

Wonderful food, Great hospitality, Value for money

I ate here several times. A thick pancake + 3 items cost CRC 2500 (about US$4.30) which is excellent value. Food is tasty and mostly vegan - only two items have eggs. Run by Taiwanese owners who welcome you with hospitality and also speak some English. Visit here for good, healthy food.

Suggestion: they should maybe open a satellite counter in Centro for ease and convenience.

Pros: Vegetrarian & Vegan, Tasty, Cheap

Cons: Little too far

Excelente precio, buena comida

El restaurante es un buffet con aproximadamente 12 opciones veganas (1 Vegetariana). Por 2500 colones($5aprox) eliges 4 opciones.
Mi decisión fue curry de papa, verduras en salsa agridulce, palmito y una torta vegana de verduras. Absolutamente delicioso y en cantidad suficiente.
Tienen batidos de fruta muy ricos y grandes.

Pros: La gran mayoría es vegana, Aceptan tarjeta, Tienen parqueo

Cons: Usan mucho plástico aún, Los cubiertos te los dan en plástico, Usan pajillas

Great price, friendly service

This place is very close to where we are staying. The buffet had about 10 choices and you choose 4. Only 1 item the day we went was vegetarian, the rest was vegan. They speak very little English but are really nice. The food was ok. It’s simple but some sides were a little too sweet and if it’s not warm enough, they microwave it for you. The restaurant itself is far from fancy but eating outside was nice.

Pros: cheap, Friendly staff

Cons: Atmosphere is very basic, Food was good but not great

Good Price! Great Service!

Delicia has nice healthy options, it's pretty cheap and the people working there, are the owners and they treat you very nicely! They are very honest on how they male their food, all good unfortunately they use Monosodium Glutamate in their food :( you can taste it and they are honest about it. Great people!!

Pros: Many Vegan Options, Friendly Staff, Not Expensive

Cons: Monosodium Glutamate in food, Repetitive Buffet

Friendly service near park

We went there at 4 on Saturday and it appears we missed the main meal time. The woman working there didn't speak English so I couldn't find out the hours they normally operate. She was very very friendly and made us up two plates of food. It included a cabbage dish, a tofu dish a faux meat dish and a potato dish. She microwaved it to warm it up.

We also had two smoothies for only 1000 colones each which they made from fresh fruit as we watched.

It was good but not great. Perhaps if we went back at the main hot buffet time we would have liked it more.

The location was a bit sketchy and the atmosphere not terribly welcoming.

Pros: Friendly service, Huge servings for price

Cons: Atmosphere bit sketchy

Good food at fair price

Delicias is a no frills taiwanese veggie place. Food is buffet style and varies depending on the day. You get your choice of 4 items from a choice of about 12 or so. The installations are pretty bare bones. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is very friendly. The food is very tasty and the portions are very generous. I've been twice and was super full by the end. They also have bubble tea and different natural fruit drinks that are made on the spot. All really refreshing and I like that they are super sugary. You can actually taste the ingredients.

The price point is good, especially for an area of town where it can get pricey to get veggie fare.

My coworkers and I go at least once every 2 weeks now since the value is pretty great.

Pros: Big portions, Good Value, Friendly Staff

Cons: Very basic installations
