Marisquería Las Américas — Restaurant in San Nicolás

As any seafood location in Costa Rica, you can rank the experience with two special foods: ceviche and pan fried fish. We tried the small appetizer of mixed ceviche, shrimp and fish. Shrimp was OK, well cooked and it felt fresh. Fish was fine, cut in the right size and a good portion. However the lemon overpowered any other flavors in the broth. Ceviche requires other flavors, a combination of sweet and sour, some texture as well. So, this is an average ceviche. The breaded fish was served with fries and salad.

This dish was ok, with good taste, but the fish was a little dry, and if it weren't for the breading, it wouldn't have any taste. Overall a good location, good...

It would be better if they were open later, but I will take what I can get.

Los camarones grandes, los patacones en su punto, las papas fritas #1 y hasta los frescos estaban perfectos. Una gran experiencia de comida y atención, que sin duda, vale la...
