If you are looking to work under the table, your best bets are to either work at a hostel or as a server. These two types of jobs tend to hire travelers on a regular basis, especially hostels. You can also try hitting up tour operators and business of that nature. Pretty much anything that isnt a major business like zip lines, chain hotels, rafting, etc is fair game.

One of your posts mentions work permits/residency matters; are there opportunities for casual work that don't require either? I've been checking out a few blogs - yoyo, costaricatodo, costaricahq - but most bloggers seem to be settled as residents and I can find no info on casual day work.

Seems one can live fairly cheaply in Costa Rica – but what about work? One of your posts mentions work permits/residency matters; are there opportunities for casual work that don’t require either?
