Every time we visit Pedasí, we find ourselves drawn back to The Black Pearl — for the food, for the hospitality, and for the sense of community that fills the place.
César and Cinthia, along with their two precious children, light up the restaurant with their warmth and genuine kindness. No one makes you feel more welcome. There’s an open-armed, heartfelt hospitality here that catches you off guard and melts your heart — like coming home after a long journey.
