Here's the only Costa Rican restaurant whose food has been transported into outer space: Astronaut Franklin Chang, a fan of La Colina's cajetas especiales, a sweet orange-coconut dish, took some with him on one of his NASA missions. This roadside diner, with its requisite plastic chairs, has an eclectic menu. Start your meal with a delicious ceviche, moving on to the famous rice and chicken or, for the more adventurous, lengua en salsa (tongue in tomato sauce). Meals begin with complimentary chips and pickled vegetables.
