There's something perfect about a BBQ by the pool in Costa Rica. The sun is out, the group is relaxed, cold drinks are flowing, and the food is casual, plentiful, and delicious. BBQ catering is one of our most popular services for groups staying in villas in Jacó — and it's easy to see why.
The Perfect Pool Party Menu
Our BBQ menu is designed specifically for outdoor, casual group dining. It's the kind of food that works whether people are sitting at a table, standing by the pool, or grabbing a plate between swimming sessions:
- Burgers — Classic and satisfying
- Fish tacos — Fresh and light with a Costa Rican twist
- Beef tacos — Hearty and flavorful
- Chicken tacos — A lighter protein option
- Local sausage marinated in lemon — A Costa Rican touch
- Hot dogs — Simple and universally liked
- Three different salads — Fresh options to balance the grilled items
- Pickled jalapeños — For those who like heat
- Homemade mayonnaise and cucumber dressing — Fresh condiments
- Pita pizza with spinach — A lighter appetizer option
- Vegetable skewers — Grilled veggies for variety
- Apple pie — A classic finish
Who Loves BBQ Catering?
Our BBQ menu is particularly popular with:
- Bachelor and bachelorette parties — Easy, fun food that keeps the party going
- Family vacations — Something for everyone, including kids
- Birthday celebrations — Casual and festive
- Groups of friends — No fuss, just good food by the pool
- Corporate retreats — Team bonding over casual food
Why BBQ Works for Groups
BBQ catering has several advantages for large groups:
- No dietary drama — With burgers, tacos, salads, and veggie options, there's something for everyone
- Casual timing — People can eat when they're ready rather than everyone sitting down at once
- Outdoor-friendly — Designed for poolside and patio dining
- Feeds large groups easily — BBQ scales well from 8 to 40+ people
- Pairs with activities — People can swim, play games, and eat throughout the afternoon
Planning Your Pool Party BBQ
- Timing — Most groups order BBQ for a late lunch (1-3 PM) so it becomes the main meal of a pool day
- Group size — Let us know your headcount so we prepare enough food
- Vegetarian guests — Our vegetable skewers, pita pizza, and salads provide options, or we can add dedicated vegetarian items
- Setup — Let us know where you'd like food set up at your property
Combining BBQ with Other Meals
Many groups that book BBQ catering also add:
- Breakfast delivery the next morning (because after a pool day, nobody wants to cook)
- A more formal dinner on a different evening for contrast
- Brunch on their last day before checkout
