Restaurant Cafe Del Mar — Restaurant in Quepos

I wish I had read reviews for this place first, but because it's along the beach I wasn't expecting fast service or great food just a good drink and regular bar food.

This place was so abysmal that I am actually taking the time to write a review in hopes others will avoid having their happy beach day marred by going here.

I know about "tico time" and am fairly tolerant of it. But 1 hour for a drink and the worst nachos I've ever had in my entire life-- that's where my tolerance ends. The nachos came in a small bowl and were wet and soupy at the bottom. There were about four small chicken-finger-shaped pieces of chicken in the bowl...for nachos. All that time and they didnt even cut up the chicken. The only reason I ate them is becuse I was starving and the time it would have taken to send it back would have had me passed out from hunger.

The had a basic adult beverage. A fly was in mine and rather than send it back and wait forever for another I just didn't drink it . That's time I could be on the beach. This place is the worst and the service is very inattentive. My companion did enjoy the sangria when she finally received it though. She didnt enjoy requesting water 3 times and never receiving it. This place is the worst. Don't depend your time...

First time ever leaving a one star review and boy do they deserve it.

It’s a great shaded place to sit located on the sand if you aren’t interested in ever being given the chance to order food, or if you miraculously are able to place an order, you’re content waiting hours to end up receiving gross food.

Round 1: we managed to order food 1 hour into our wait (boyfriend had to physically walk up to a waiter), and 2 hours later we still had not received any food and there was not an employee in sight.

Round 2: we ordered 30 minutes into our wait, and received our food in a reasonable amount of time but received our smoothie drink and our side of limes after we had already finished our meals.

The food itself was not good and there was a bone in the shredded arroz con pollo dish. The nachos were very small and lacked in flavor. The pineapple smoothie was water mixed with what tasted like an artificial piña colada mix. 0/10 would...

The wait was god awful. We waited for an hour to be served The single waitress working the floor ignored frequent attempts to wave her down to ask for a simple glass of water. The nachos were some of the worst I've had, as if they poured chicken soup over a bowl of chips and called it good enough. Then when it came time to pay, it was another fifteen minute wait in a line of three people. They didn't have a bill, I had to remind them of everything I had gotten. They tried to charge for an extra shot of rum which we never ordered or received. To top it off, they added a 20% fee, don't know if they called it VAT or a service fee or what.

Would...
