Restaurant Los Almendros, Esterillos Oeste — Restaurant in Parrita

I’ve been coming to Esterillos annually to surf since 2011 and this restaurant is one of the very best things here. Our group loves it so much that this week, we ate there every single night and twice for lunch. It’s sort of a fusion of Asian, Caribbean, Tico. I ate the special every night except one and loved it. When they have fresh mahi, you should definitely get it. The one night I didn’t get the special because it was the same from the previous night, I got pad Thai. Not the best dish on the menu. Caribbean chicken is delicious. The sauce that comes with the patacones is really good. My friend got the tuna burger three times. My other friend loves the gado gado salad. They have craft beers that are fun. The owner is super sweet and everyone who works there has always been lovely. The open air restaurant is decorated really cute. So so glad they survived...

All the wait staff also speak English. I highly recommend this place for a great meal in a...

A surprising find here amongst mediocre tourist food options. A mix of local, Asian and other influences make for a robust and varied menu offering. They’ve nailed it all— great atmosphere and ambiance, attentive staff, delicious food of all kinds, and creative cocktails. Our table had jerk chicken (melt off the bone), mango chutney fish, spicy plantains, tuna poke bowl, fish tacos, and a curried dish. Drinks were hibiscus margarita (the only semi-disappointment for me), star fruit & ginger daiquiri. We were all very happy and want to come again for another meal. Kudos to...
