Restaurante La Choza — Restaurant in Cóbano

It's simply the best restaurant in Santa Teresa, if not the whole coast, and I'm not saying that to flatter them. The quality/quantity/price ratio is unbeatable, with very affordable prices. Even me, who eats for 3, could barely get through some of the dishes. The chicken rice is served in huge quantities with side dishes, and is extremely good.

Also, the smoothies are natural and tasty, in short, delicious. What's more, the staff are really helpful and kind. We can see that they do their jobs with passion. The atmosphere is very pleasant and warm, and the location is very nice since the restaurant is just a few steps from the beach.

This is one of those rare gems that you hope to find. The food is so flavorful and so very fresh. On weekends they have a special menu and it was literally the freshest lobster tail and Mahi mahi I’ve ever eaten. Not even a whiff of fishiness. I also love that the music isn’t too loud (aging myself here). Because every dish is painstakingly prepared by a genius, if you order at the end of the rush you might need to wait 40 min for your food. It is worth the...
