Tasty Waves Cantina — Restaurant in Cahuita

Unfortunately I had a really bad experience- I've eaten here numerous times, specifically the chicken tacos. They decided to make a different chicken taco and not inform me. It was terrible, inedible and totally disgusting. i came home and got sick from it. It was only when I repeatedly mentioned it was different that I was told it was from the previous day- that they were trying to finish the food and not waste and that it was a different recipe. it was obvious I couldn't eat it so I left it unfinished and ordered fries as I was still hungry.... when i received the bill it included the terrible tacos!!! no customer wants to eat day old food. No customer wants to consistently order something, be given something different (day old), be made sick, be charged on top of it. Sorry but it was such a terrible experience!!!

Went here three times during our stay in Puerto — it was that good. Drinks, food, vibes and service were all excellent. Best burger I’ve ever eaten outside the US, without a doubt.

Each night has a different event/special going on. One day they had all-night happy hour, which made for the most affordable drinks we’d had in all of Costa Rica. On that same note, we found the prices at Tasty Waves just could...

I spent this past weekend at the hostel behind the restaurant with a group of around 15 friends. We originally planned on exploring other restaurants around the area but we just kept coming back because we loved it so much.

The food was INCREDIBLE and also really reasonably priced for the area. Although we were a large group the staff was super accommodating and they even set up a pong table for us the last night we were there and gave us a round of shots on the house.

You can tell the staff is like a family and they welcome newcomers easily. They gave us great advice about where to explore and what to see while we were in Puerto Viejo. Our server, Tegé, kept us laughing the whole night and made me feel right at home.

I would come back here again in...
