Bar y Restaurante Malecón — Restaurant in Jacó

Beachfront restaurant in Jacó Beach with a great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food, the quesadillas were really good, lots of cheese and served with guacamole and sauces, next is the patacones with frijoles and guacamole, I’m not going to take out a star from the restaurant for this but I have to say that there are 5 huge patacones served with only 2 ounces of beans, guacamole and salsa, if you are the owner and read this review, please take into consideration changing the amount of sauce, guac and beans for this plate. Last but not least we had the spaghetti with seafood in alfredo sauce, flavor for this plate was the best I’ve had in some time and the amount of seafood was something I’m not used to, a lot.

I agree with other reviewers that the wait was very long- some of our family were done eating by the time our food came and we waited at least 30 minutes for the initial plates to start being served. The ambience was good and the pool table seemed to be a hit. If you want a bar and hangout spot, this is fine. If you are looking for a restaurant with good...

BEWARE! Check your bill carefully!!! On a positive note the sunset view was spectacular. We waited for about 20 minutes and no one came by so my husband went to the bar to order. He came back with a beer. My cocktail arrived about 15 mins after that. We were going to have dinner here but the service was non existent. We had to get up and ask for our bill. The next day I checked my bank statement and they charged us $39 Canadian for a beer and a mojito!! Luckily every other restaurant in Jaco we visited the service was excellent. Get it together Malecon, you have a ton of...
