I'm pretty sure he said the local church folks there would fix us lunch daily on the job site. One quick note here: These folks have much less than we do, and feeding us may be a bit of a stretch for some of them financially. So, even if you don't like what they give us, the best policy might be to try what they give you, eat a little of it, and then wait until you can get something else to eat later in the day.
That said, what's to eat in San Jose?
The answer is, "Pretty much everything that there is here to eat--and more!"
Besides some local cuisine, you can eat oriental food at Wongs (recommended), you can spend a ton of money eating great Italian food at Bacchus, or you can even eat Mediterranean food at Olio (a Greek sort of place). For those less adventurous, there's even a Denny's and, of course, the obligatory McDonald's.
Oh, yeah; vegetarian, Chinese, Indian, and even all sorts of South and Central American food are found.
From Fodor's Travel Guide: "Wherever you eat in San José, be it a small soda (informal eatery) or a sophisticated restaurant, dress is casual. Meals tend to be taken earlier than in other Latin American countries; few restaurants serve past 9 or 10 PM. Local cafés usually open for breakfast at 7 AM and remain open until 7 or 8 in the evening. Restaurants serving international cuisine are usually open from 11 AM to 9 PM. Some cafés that serve mainly San José office workers limit evening hours and close entirely on Sunday. Restaurants that do open on Sunday do a brisk business: it's the traditional family day out (and the maid's day off). Watch your things, no matter where you dine. Prowlers have been known to sneak into even the best restaurants, targeting purses slung over chair arms or placed under chairs."
