U.S. dollars and credit cards were accepted at every place I visited while spending three days in San Jose CR last year. The only exception was mass transit, which I presume you won't be using.
No matter where you travel around the world, credit cards (pretty much) always give you the best exchange rate -- just be certain to insist that you get the price in local currency. The second best rate is at ATMs, which are pretty common in San Jose.
