This is my new favorite restaurant in Potrero! I went for lunch and loved the chicken fajitas. The service was great and I even got to enjoy a nice espresso after my meal. The waiter recommended we come back for dinner and live music in the evening and we actually did and I do not regret the decision. In the back of the restaurant there was a great outdoor seating area with great live music, cold beer, and the best ceviche I’ve had in a while. I also got the arroz con camarones which was huge and delicious. The guys attending are always nice and there to serve well. Highly recommend for a good meal, great service, and great value.

We went there for dinner given it had pretty high reviews (4.7) on Google. We had grilled mahi mahi with sauteed vegetables and roasted potatoes. The fish was good but the potatoes were greasy and lukewarm, and the same can be said for the veggies. So the food was disappointing. The positive side is that they have a few micro brew beer options - the IPA was good. They also served a glass of ice water with a lime, which was nice. There were too many bugs flying around and stray dogs just wander around the tables. Went to 2 other places for dinner before and they were both better.

We were disappointed we went here. We really like eating the local food when on vacation, and this was way too touristy for us. My fish was fine, but my husband got a steak that was pretty undercooked for what he asked for and was pretty dry. It's also pretty expensive compared to the actual local restaurants. I'd suggest finding something a little more out of town or off the beaten path than picking something near-ish to the beach like this. Oh the ceviche we got as an appetizer was good, but not worth the whole dining experience.

My wife and I rented an apartment for two months in Playa Potrero, Costa Rica, half a mile from The Shack. We visited this outstanding location five times. It''s a great place for quiet evening for dinner and drinks when there is no live music. Owner's Jay and Becky cater to the North Americans, but local ticos love the place too.

A bottle of Pilsen beer or Imperial beer (local lagers) cost only $2.40.Wow! Pay in cash (local Colones or US dollars) or it's about 15% more for using a credit card, which is an uncommon practice in the area, but not really a problem.

It's also a JAMMIN' dancing scene when there's live music. And I mean live! First group I saw started about 8 PM and they were absolutely excellent; five very talented guys who had just come back from a couple month in China - right, China, the country. Mediocre musicians don't tour in China. Two other times there was a group from Guadalajara, Mexico. First time they had an accordion player along with their percussionist, a guitar player vocalist and a guy on bass. Next time they had a keyboard player/guitarist in place of the accordion. Excellent both times! My wife and I wisely got there at about 6:45 for dinner, got a table near the band and enjoyed a rollicking night of food, drink, conversation, and dancing to live music with no cover. Place packed.

Ate lunch one time with another couple -- great local food, fresh tasty fish, tortillas, chicken and of course rice and beans. An eclectic string of recorded American alternative music in the background with quick friendly service by Jay himself and pleasant waitress. Jay is truly a pro restaurateur.

On another night, stopped on a whim with my son who was visiting from Buffalo, NY. The band was good old classic rock aimed at keeping the dance floor full, just too bad it was like any decent bar band from W. New York and we were in Costa Rica -- not true of the other music nights.

A name worth mentioning in closing is Diego -- a fine server, a tall tico with a quick smile and friendly pleasant service every time we were there in the evening. Like I said we went there five times in two months -- more than any other place. Highly...

Essen akzeptabel, Service massiv ausbaufähig. Das Lokal wurde uns von einer nahegelegenen Tauchstation empfohlen. Das Lokal war gut besucht und das Personal sichtlich gestresst. Beim ersten Kontakt hatte ich direkt das Gefühl die wollen uns gar nicht. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt waren 2 Tische frei und über 2h bis Ladenschluss. Wir fühlten uns alles andere als willkommen und viel mehr eine Last als ein Gast. Es dauerte eine gefühlte Ewigkeit bis wir die Karten erhalten haben obwohl am Nebentisch Karten weggeräumt wurden, welche man gleich an uns hätte weiterreichen können. Stattdessen wanderten die Karten zurück an die Bar und wir fragten nach einigen Minuten nach den Menükarten. Anstelle uns die Karten zu bringen drehte sich der Typ mit erhobenem Zeigefinger von uns weg und lief irgendwo anders hin. Die Karten wurden uns dann nach einer gefühlte Ewigkeit von einem anderen Servierer gebracht. Unser Lichtblick am Horizont, denn jetz bestand die Chance doch noch angemessen bedient zu werden. Bis zur Aufnahme der Bestellung dauerte es jedoch erneut eine gefühlte Ewigkeit, obwohl in der Zwischenzeit einige Tische frei geworden sind und das Personal lieber Tische sauber machte als unsere Bestellung aufzunehmen. Die Aufnahme der Bestellung war dann der Gipfel und eigentlich der Zeitpunkt wo man das Lokal hätte verlassen sollen. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt waren bereits mehr als 30 Minuten vergangen. Der Typ stellt sich ohne ein Wort zu sagen an unseren Tisch, nach einer kurzen Pause bückte er sich mit ausgestreckten Armen und Fingern und weit aufgerissenen Augen leicht nach vorne und gibt ein kräftiges "Yes?!" von sich. Für uns der Startschuss die Bestellung durchzugeben. Anstelle eines Ginger Ale erhielt ich ein Bier - OK dann halt eben ein Bier. Das zweite Getränk war korrekt. Das Essen kam dann verhältnismäßig schnell. Die Teller wurden uns regelrecht auf den Tisch geknallt ohne ein Wort zu sagen oder uns einen Blick zu würdigen. Der Burger war nicht schlecht, Fleisch war jedoch richtig durchgebraten und entsprechend trocken. In der Karte stand beim Burger "Fleisch gebraten nach Ihrer Wahl" - gefragt danach hat jedoch niemand wie ich den Burger denn gerne hätte. Insgesamt würde ich dem Burger 5/10 geben. Dazu gab es Fritten - zu den Fritten komme ich später. Der Burrito mit Beef war ziemlich gut. Fleisch toll angebraten und schön blutig in der Mitte und dazu Fritten. Buritto 7/10. Zu den Fitten: Diese würde ich als Country Cuts bezeichnen - optisch ganz ansprechend. Geschmacklich mehr schlecht als recht. Entsprechend der schnellen Lieferung viel zu kurz frittiert. Aussen knapp ok, innen äusserst matschig. Abgeräumt wurde entsprechend wortlos. Die Frage ob wir noch gerne etwas hätten existiert in deren Vokabular wohl nicht. Egal - wir wollten sowieso einfach weg. Die Rechnung wurde über Zeichensprache auf Distanz angefordert. Diese kam entsprechend zügig. Bezahlt habe ich in Bar. Geld wurde wort- und blicklos entgegengenomman. Rückgeld wurde uns wort- und blicklos auf den Tisch geknallt. Entsprechend wort- und blicklos haben wir das Lokal dann auch verlassen und werden bestimmt nicht mehr kommen und/oder eine Empfehlung abgeben. P.S.: Den zweiten Stern gibts nur...

We waited at the entrance for 10-15 minutes and no one ever greeted or approached us. A waiter yelled across the restaurant that they had no tables and the open tables were reserved. We were not sure that he was speaking to us because of the rude manner and so I went to the bar and very politely asked if we were waiting in the right place. The waiter then yelled at me that he had already told us that he had no tables. I told him that I did not know he was talking to me and said thank you. We started to leave and another waiter ran to us and apologized and seated us. Several tables opened up. We sat at the table for another 15 minutes and no waiter came to our table, or offered us water or menus. We were obviously being ignored but we were never rude or impatient. So we got up and left. I have never had such an upsetting experience and it ruined our first night in this beautiful...
