Being the only Costa Rican Restaurant in Los Angeles area, I was really looking forward to getting some great Costa Rican food. I am sorry to say that I was disappointed. I hope that people who visit to try Costa Rican food for the first time don’t leave thinking that our food is that lousy.
I wonder if the cooks are ticas or ticos? I say that because in Van Nuys there was a Costa Rican restaurant but the owner could not find Costa Ricans to go work for her and cook. She hired some non Costa Ricans and tried teaching them how to cook our food but it was not the same.
I also thought that the food was over priced. I think that the owner is relying on the fact the he/she has the only Costa Rican restaurant in town. If there were other Costa Rican restaurants they would have to up their game or close. Lastima!
Perhaps I am over critical as I love my country and I think that we have some of the most delicious food in Latin America. Sk I wish that there was a restaurant in the LA area that could do our...
Read moreAs a Costa Rican every time some one ask if there is a Costa Rican restaurant around I say no, because this is not a good representation of our culture, they charge to come in what it seems to be different amounts every time, I've never been charged to go in to a restaurant, the food is a lazy excuse of tico food.

We were told that if we wanted to stay we should buy food.. The lady @ the front desk said that we will be given the cover back if we buy food. We trusted her, but when we were leaving we asked for the $20 cover. She refused and the security guard asked us to leave. We didn't want to cause trouble, but this place is horrible. I would believe only low lives go to this place. Our dinner including tax was about $70 per person. Food was terrible, cold and a bottle of water was about $6. Plus they have only one server.. You can find better places. DO NOT WASTE YOUR...
