Lots. Try the Marracuya, More Than Words. My personal favourites. There is another place good for lunch.... Soda la U. Try the special coconut risenbeans on Thursdays. For a nice mountain view, try the Turrialtico lodge. It has great views and good food.
From the west side of San José it can take between 2 to 2.5 hrs with normal traffic; add one hour if you plan to stop. Good places for breakfast and/or lunch!

If you are coming from the south (Turrialba) the whole way to Guayabo is in perfect condition. If you are approaching from the east (La Pastora) and don't want to drive the "whole way around" (which is probably an extra hour), you may cut across. Now we were warned that there was a tricky spot; and it would have been if we had been coming FROM the park--as it would have been going uphill. I was there during the rainy season, was not driving a 4X4 and had absolutely no problem. Ask people on the roadside about road conditions ahead--here or anywhere in Costa Rica, they can be very helpful; particularly as road conditions can change quickly. Just do not trust their sense of time/distance when they tell you how much longer you need to go. Enjoy!
