Reviewed By elaefcie
This is a fairly new restaurant in Arenal. We had two very good entrees which we took with us. Portions are very generous and plenty of food to share. Their menu is extensive and includes Chinese dishes, fried chicken, salads, a variety of hot dishes along with "platos del dias" and "bocas"(bar food). There is a well-stocked bar as well as eat-in facilities.

First visit in Nuevo Arenal. Very inviting open air restaurant with beautiful view of the lake. Parking up front. Very friendly staff. Menu has variety of foods for all times of day. We got both a Costa Rican plate and a delicious cheeseburger and pappas fritas. The smoothies are delicious! Try the guava! You wont find it anywhere else. We will definitely be back during out 2 weeks here.

Highly recommend this coffee shop and gift shop. It's has a fantastic view of Lake Arenal on the back patio, with super clean bathrooms, cute gift shop and fantastic multigrain cake that the owner serves warm, with fabulous coffee. I don't recall the owners names, but they've only been open for 1.5 months and are doing a fantastic job. Their english is very good and they were very charming. This "mom and pop" shop is a great stop for a quick treat. Don't miss the chance to sit out back and enjoy the view, birds and the great service.

El Corral restaurant in Aguacate is a gem of a place. We had the chicken casado and everything on the plate was excellent. The chicken was flavorful and tender, the rice done to perfection, the beans were the best, the salad was crisp, tomato tasted like it used to many, many years ago and even the plantain was perfect. The price of 3,900 colones is a bargain, beer extra. The restaurant is fairly new and clean and I appreciate that the kitchen is open to the dining area. You could watch your food being prepared and the chef was meticulous in cleaning up the counters and prep areas. Will definitely be back often. Can't rate this one high enough.

Our experience gives this restaurant an average rating although others gave it better. We tried this based on TripAdvisor. I ordered a cheeseburger and was told the hamburger meat had not arrived from San Jose so no burgers. I then ordered a beef burrito which, sad to say, I could not detect any beef. It was mostly refried beans. Perhaps no beef because the supply had not arrived. We also watched a cat jump up onto the bar. French fries were very good, though. Overall, we would not visit this restaurant again.

We video taped 8-10 toucans here at the restaurant during lunchtime, and so many other birds! Was the most amazing place to watch birds in Nuevo Arenal. They have a restaurant that serves delicious food and has such a gorgeous view. Also, there are hotel rooms in the base of the building. They are simple and quaint, colorful but the view and animals and birds are what make it so awesome!! The man who owns it is an amazing person. Worth the trip!!!!!

We found this nice restaurant by accident, driving along the lake. The Texan owner is very friendly and the view is really amazing. Birds lovers are happy there since a whole lot of them fly by. Food was OK, a bit slow but, hey, we’re on holidays :)
