The Arby’s brand has officially welcomed guests into its new restaurant in Curridabat Canton in San José Province.


The new 386 sq meter restaurant will have seating for 98 guests and carryout customers, with a freestanding drive-thru to attend the on-the-go clients. Delivery will also be available for online food orders and delivery platforms.


The restaurant is offering Costa Rican residents the first taste of its iconic sandwiches, wraps, sides, and shakes.


Local franchisee ARBLAT owns and operates the restaurant. The group plans to open additional Arby’s locations across the country in 2023 and beyond.


“As we accelerate global growth for the Arby’s brand, we are excited to introduce our high-quality, fast-crafted meat sandwiches to new guests in Costa Rica,” said Michael Haley, President & Managing Director of International for Inspire Brands. “Working alongside a strong restaurant developer and operator like ARBLAT, an experienced fast food franchise manager group, I am excited about the long-term growth potential for Arby’s across the country.”



The Arby’s Costa Rica menu boasts nearly 20 meaty sandwiches served warm and featuring a wide variety of proteins. There's Arby’s slow roasted Roast Beef, 100% breast meat turkey, slow-smoked brisket, sweet & smoky pork, as well as roasted and crispy chicken. Fan favorites include the Triple Cheese Turkey BLT and Pulled Pork sandwiches, both of which are currently only available at Arby’s restaurants in Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.


“Arby’s is a distinctive, fan-favorite brand and an ideal addition to our portfolio of restaurants,” said Mario Jimenez, general manager of ARBLAT. “Leveraging local consumer preferences and the brand’s culinary expertise, we have carefully crafted a menu that reflects Arby’s passion for meats, and I am very confident our guests will enjoy the result.”


Arby’s now operates more than 150 locations across seven countries outside the U.S.


Arby's is one of many U.S. brand restaurants opening in Costa Rica. Recently, the California Style Pizza Kitchen Restaurant announced the opening of a new franchise location in the country.
