http://LivingLifeInCostaRica.blogspot.com/2010/08/sarettos-market-escazu-costa-rica.html
The most cool/unique international things I’ve found here. Also, one of the BEST selections of Alcoholic Beverages (especially wines) with some of the best prices. Many gringo products including Entenmann's Baked Goods. Produce section - Pretty good selection and some nicer things including lots of herbs (NOTE: You take your produce items over to be weighed/tagged). GOOD quality on Meats (I WOULD buy my meat here!!!!) and veges (and more unique/harder to find things). LOTS of international products. More gourmet products. In '12 they were bought out by Gasso that owns PeriMercado.
IMPORTANT: Bag Boys here are NOT employees (no salary, no insurance) so PLEASE make sure to tip them (I tip them if they’re just bagging me (200-300+-colones or so depending on how much) and more if they’re taking it out for me (400-500+-colones or so). If I don’t have much to bag or don’t have much $, of course I bag it myself or at least give them 100 colones (I’ve found MANY of them are Nicaraguan).
SPECIALS: Check with them as it is always changing.
HOURS: Mon-Sat. 7:30am - 8:30pm and Sun. 8:30am-2pm.
LOCATION: Escazu (San Rafael) - Coming from the highway/Pista del Sol - get off at the first Escazu exit if coming from San Jose - or the last one coming from Santa Ana. At the fist light turn LEFT (on your right is WalMart and on your Left is PeriMercado and a small strip mall - Plaza Trejos Montelegre). Pass through the next light and it's on your LEFT JUST after the gas station. There is parking in front or in the building at the street where the gas station is.
COMING FROM WITHIN ESCAZU: Take the road heading towards WalMart/the Pista and at the light where you can veer to the right or keep going straight - at PeriMercado (JUST before WalMart) - Veer RIGHT/heading East (towards San Jose). Pass Pizza Hut, a small strip mall on your right, then on your left - an Italian restaurant and a gas station and there it is - on your left.
