Cheap Food Escazú – The Waffle PlaceIt’s pretty much guaranteed you’ll leave The Waffle Place more than just full, but completely satisfied. I always get the waffle with creamy bacon and mushroom sauce over a fried egg, but they also have an amazing lunch menu complete with soups in a sourdough bread bowl.

Cheap Food Jacó – Bubbas Fish TacosThe place is pretty non-descript, but has a blue sign saying BUBBA’S with a marlin on it. No matter what you see on that menu, get the fish taco, all the way. That includes fresh grilled Mahi, cabbage, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, lime and a large dose of delicious! They come with a buttered ‘elote’ or corn-on-the-cob and don’t forget to order the fresh cut french fries and a lemonade.

iLickit, our first cheap food app
Not that it’s actually ‘ours’ per se, but we’ve never blogged about an iPhone app although it turns out there are a LOT of them out there. The iLickit app is weird and only as sanitary as your iPhone and it’s not surprising that Americans are obsessed (as they are with eating). Please don’t eat your iPhone people, but if you get hungry and need a little snack, forget gum or a lollipop, just whip out your iPhone and iLickit.
