El Castillo

Reviewed By mnkotsop

This is my first TripAdvisor review ever which says a lot about the calibre of food and service you'll get at El Castillo's. My husband and I visited twice for dinner during our stay in Costa Rica. There are many great places to dine in the area but El Castillo's food was so delicious and thoughtfully crafted that we visited twice, despite our general rule to never visit the same place twice. The first time we visited I ordered the mushroom burger that had a beautiful port sauce and my husband ordered the Timmy sandwich. Both were delicious. Tonight we went for the rib dinner -- a Friday special -- and it was out of this world. We were stuffed but couldn't refuse an order of the Snickers cheesecake that was just sublime and I'm not someone who has a sweet tooth. Everything is homemade and delicious. The owner and staff are attentive and the food is out of this world. Do yourself a favor and visit El Castillo.. you will not regret it!

Soda el Coco

Reviewed By Mogeltoft

A soda is a cheapish Costarican type of restaurant. A good choice for locals and budget travellers. We always eat our breakfast at sodas instead of in the hotel - because the atmosphere is more local, and because it’s much cheaper.The soda next to Brasilito Hotel is Soda el Coco. Seemingly a nice place... But don’t go there - the food is not very good, and it’s totally overpriced.We had a modest breakfast (worst pinto for 2 weeks in Costa Rica) and payed 8000 colones - compared to the 6000 colones, we’re used to.To check if we were unfair we returned a little later and ordered two (lousy!) chicken sandwiches to go. Price: 5000 colones.For comparison: Soda Brasilito next to Soda el Coco charges 2400 colones for two much-much better chicken sandwiches. Less than half the price for a better product. Need I say more?

Restaurant Estero Azul is located near Flamingo on your way to Potrero. Before you turn right at the beach at Restaurant Plemar keep on going straight all way to the back of the road (about 100m). You'll find a fisherman's house with a small eating place

Ate here twice with family. Food is very good and exceptionally well priced. Service is at a good pace and allows to watch the world go by via the beach or sun go down over a few drinks etc. The patacones and the cassada with fish are exceptionally good.

We drove the golf cart from Playa Flamingo and had dinner at The Beach House. Nice little 10 minute drive. The restaurant is small and the tables overlook the beach. Nice variety on the menu from fresh seafood to fried baskets to burgers, and everything we ordered tasted great. Watermelon mojito was yummy!

Soda Brasilito

Reviewed By 45toddd

Several locals recommended this place. We ordered the beef and the fish however we received pork instead of fish....and yes I speak Spanish so it wasn’t a language issue. Regardless the food was tasty. Pork was over cooked but still tasted good. Steak was great. Will eat here again next time we are in town.

This is a really fun adventure in Costa Rica near Tamarindo. We met the owner, Alex at the ranch and immediately bonded with his friendly manner and stories about South Africa (where he's originally from) and surfing around the world. Starting around 2:30pm, he matched the four of us up with horses and our own guide, who took us on a 30-45 min. trail ride up to the top of the mountain, where we met our ziplining guides. They suited us up in our harnesses and gave us instructions and also ziplined along with us as we traversed the mountain over the beautiful jungle canopy over 9 ziplines. We felt safe with them and we had a lot of fun.When we reached the base of the mountain, we were met with refreshing juices and wonderful BBQ dinner of steak, chicken, Costa Rican sausages, salads, pasta and veggies - as much as we wanted- in a beautiful private dining area. If you want a great ziplining/horseback riding adventure in Guanacaste, come to Black Stallion!Thank you for the exellent review,we appreciate.The super ranch combo tour you did is the most fun adventure.Ride,zip,pool time & BBQ.Glad to see u enjoyed the ranch and our rustic style bbq cooking.We have some fun pics of the fam,will e mail to you.thanks for visiting us Amigos.see u soon.Pura Vida!
