ALMA CAFÉ Y RESTAURANTE — Restaurant in San Juan del Sur (Municipio)

The place is cute with nice murals. We were looking forward to enjoying this place because of all the good reviews but our experience was not great and actually poor. It could have just been a one time thing. We ordered drinks with no straws but they came with straws. We ordered gallopinto but then they said they had no beans just rice. We appreciated them letting us know but gallopinto without the beans was not what we wanted so we decided to order something else which seemed to make the waiter upset.
