El Chante de Moncho — Restaurant in Cahuita

First of all I'm usually only a review reader and not a writer but this place deserves a nice review.

Real Costa Rican food with a great taste.

To inform you about their closing time first. We went there to eat at 7:30 P.M. while they close at 8 P.M. but they left the restaurant open for us to finish our diner. They explicitly mentioned to us that we can take all the time we need since they will be cleaning the kitchen anyway.

I had the red snapper (500 gram) that you can order per size so a bigger fish is a higher price. My girlfriend had the caribean chicken. We both enjoyed the food and the drinks. We've already traveled for 14 days troughout Costa Rica and tried various Soda's but this place is on top of our list.

They are a young family business and really are striving for a great service so please pay...

Family owned and operated. Locals were enjoying the spot and we decided to stop in. The service was over the top and you can tell the son takes pride in his families restaurant. The first day my wife ordered chicken filet with Caribbean sauce. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered pasta with shrimp in white sauce and it was by far the best pasta I’ve had at any restaurant to include in America. The food to include the patacones were very fresh. While we stayed in the area and tried multiple places this was our favorite to the point where we couldn’t wait to come back the next day before we headed out. It was extremely clean from the kitchen to the restrooms. Highly recommend. They were very friendly...

Not just amazing tasting food but cheaper than the other restaurants the area. Also they do serve beer now. And the chicken is not the only brilliant and cheap dish. We also had the slow cooked beef rib and it was tender and delicious. I also had an amazing non alcoholic drink with ginger and passion fruit I can’t remember what it was called but it felt like it cured me of all my ailments! Try that...
