    What does that mean exactly?

    You plan on “working” in San José as a delivery man or “working” as someone who cooks food on a truck?

    You did not mention whether you are Costa Rican or have permission to work here but if not, are you familiar with the regulations on “working” here?

    Please give us more information and we’ll try and point you in the right direction…

    I discussed this recently with an attorney friend who is Tico. He was unsure of how the permitting process would go with the food truck concept, both within the Muni & with the Ministerio de Salud. We owned a restaurant in CR previously so are familiar with what would be needed for a set location, but not for something like a food truck that would potentially be all over the place. We’re also permanent residents so are legal to work…I cannot see how the food truck concept would work for someone not legally able to work in CR. You’d have to put a tremendous amount of trust into employees, & by having employees your operating costs will increase exponentially.

    Just my opinion, nothing more.
