Question….we are traveling in February with our son who has autism. He is on a gluten-casein-yeast-soy FREE diet.
We will be in San Jose. Where, if anywhere, can we get specialty products for him? and/or organic products such as eggs, bananas and ground chicken?
Even if I can just find hummus, that would be a huge help. Any input is appreciated..thank you!

This is a tough one. Assume that, no matter what you are told unless you are told this by a gringo-owner, that nothing is organic.
There is a natural foods restaurant at Av 8 y Calle 13 called Shakti – your hotel should know where it is.
There is a kosher deli in Escazú where I live that makes hummus. Will you have a kitchen? If there is an organic egg place around, I haven’t found it. Same for the meats – the last hormone free chicken factory here was bought by the biggest chicken factory… so now they all are the same.
Have fun – it’s a beautiful country!
THAT is a frickin’ awesome video!!!
Thanks for sharing. -t
