Restaurant Abuela Luisita — Restaurant in La Fortuna

We just had an absolutely amazing dinner at Abuela Luisita. The restaurant itself is stunning. It is open air and very large and can accommodate a lot of guests, and the views overlooking the pool and small villas is beautiful. There are lights illuminating the grounds and trees that can be seen from the back of the restaurant. The landscaping is beautiful.

Our main server was Brayan and he was absolutely wonderful. He was very attentive and had good suggestions. We have three small children and it can be a challenge to keep them occupied during dinner, but after we ordered, we went down to explore the grounds and look for critters. Brayan came down with two flashlights for our kids and we were able to find a bunch of frogs, which made the kids' night.

The food selection is very good and we chose two gallos, which were fajitas and pork ribs. Both were very good but the pork ribs were delicious. The prices are very reasonable.

Overall, we couldn't have had a better experience at Abelua Luisitas and highly recommend it to anyone staying in La Fortuna. It is a hidden gem and the most beautiful restaurant in the area, I am...

Having lunch and afterwards dinner here was a really nice experience. After arriving at our hotel we saw the big Abuelita on the roof and decided to have lunch here. The food was so good we decided to come back for dinner, and again it didn't disappoint. The service here is really impeccable! Our server Pedro was so welcoming and made the whole experience of eating here complete. He told us about the history of Costa Rican dinner and that they serve it in a similar way here to keep the tradition alive. You can tell they are really passionate about this place. On the top side of the restaurant they have a nice garden which they use in their kitchen. This also provides you with a nice viewpoint of the surrounding area. A nice to know fact is that Abuelita Luicita comes in every morning at 04.30 AM to slow cook the food on a woodstove, which is being served throughout the day. When in the area I would definitely recommend coming here, this is a real must go to...

Got caught in a bad rain storm and decided to stop here to let the rain pass. So glad we did. Not a lot of internet presence for this place but don’t let this fool you. This place was spectacular.

Food was downright amazing. The restaurant is really nice inside. Much bigger than I was expecting. Staff was super friendly.

All in all one of the best places we tried in La Fortuna. Would...
