Where tradition meets quality
Over 70 years bringing the finest cuts and the most authentic artisan chorizo in Desamparados to Costa Rican family tables.
Our Story
It all began in 1954, when our grandfather opened the doors of Carnicería La Orquídea in Desamparados. With hard work, dedication and a commitment to quality, what started as a family dream became a neighborhood landmark.
Today, more than 70 years later, La Orquídea is still exactly that: a family butcher shop. The same warm service, the same values and the same passion for quality live on in every cut, every recommendation and every order.
Because here we don't just sell meat. We sell trust, expertise and tradition.
"Our artisan chorizo recipe is as old as the butcher shop itself — carefully kept since 1954 and passed down from generation to generation."
