What an amazing place that we came only 10 minutes before closing and they allowed us to have a quick dinner. They close at 7 PM on Wednesday or Miércoles and they were so Interesting I thought it would be like a little glass of wine glass Gracious and I was so thankful. The staff waiter was very nice to ask the kitchen to cook arroz con camarones (rice with shrimp) and arroz con (rice with pork). Both dishes came out in 7 min and the portions were huge and it was delicious. The rice was a bit soupy w the sauce but that how they do it and it was good bc it had a lot of juicy flavor. The salad was really good and light with a vinaigrette sauce with berries, thinly sliced carrots, and different colored cherry tomatoes. The fries were really extra crispy and so good with the ketchup. Beautifully decorated with paintings and a huge mirror. There are two sections and also an area for desserts and small market like items.

My first meal in Costa Rica and I gotta say I lucked out. Seems to be a popular place for locals so that's already a good sign. The service was great and the food was fantastic. The complimentary chicken noodle soup and toasted bread with butter (gotta love mantequilla) really hit the spot after a long flight/immigration line. My server recommended the seafood section so I ordered the sea bass with seafood sauce. Man was it sabroso! The bass was nice and flaky and the sauce was light and creamy with fresh shrimp, mussels, and octopus. I finished the meal with coffee (Americano) and I gotta say it's one of the best cups of coffee I've had this year. Highly recommend this place for a casual lunch.

Absolutely excellent local place to eat. The service was great, very fast and friendly. I walked in and was able to seat myself right away and before I knew it I was being served. I can't believe how fast my food and drink came out, but everything was very fresh. Best lemonade I've ever had in my life. Food portions were huge. I took about half of it home and was excited to eat it for dinner, though a homeless person received it on my walk home. I will have to revisit. Excellent experience. Affordable prices.

Popping in here for a breakfast was a great choice. There are plenty of options to adapt the breakfast to whatever you are feeling, and the quantity of food you get should see you feeling full until dinner! When the food turned up, we were shocked because it was so cheap and we were given so much food. And the food was delicious! I ordered an extra of bacon and it was cooked so perfectly, I could safely say it’s the best bacon I’ve ever had from any restaurant.

I came here late at night to eat, very convenient place. I got a buttery fish filet with mash potatoes and veggies. I was surprised at the size of this dish, so generous with their portion! It was well cooked and seasoned. Very tasty and satisfying. The staff was super friendly and nice, down to earth people. They spoke English. I enjoyed that hot sauce with my meal too. Their cocktails were good and refreshing. Everything was great! I recommend!

This restaurant has a lot of seating capacity yet feels intimate. There are three separate rooms. We went for lunch and were very happy with our decision to eat here. It seems to be a favorite of the local people. Our waiter was friendly and spoke English to us. The food was simple yet delicious. The flavors were very good. My fish was grilled perfectly. The meal was very satisfying. We recommend this restaurant.
