Been coming to Jaco for some years. First time here and I wish we had come sooner. Without a doubt this is the best seafood we have ever had in Jaco. This place should be in the top ten restaurants not 47. Fresh , flavorful and served at the right temperature. Something you donât always have in Jaco . Go for the platter of mixed seafood with everything from lobster(and good size one for each person)to Pargo snd Dorado along with octopus, squids clams and shrimps .... perfectly broiled / sautéed in a light butter garlic all for a most reasonable price. The service from Hugo and others was attentive and the side choices were great. We loved the salad and the patacones

On vacation in Jaco with friends and visited Juanita's at Jaco Walk for dinner one evening. What a fabulous choice. The atmosphere is fun with lots of people milling about and good shopping. For dinner I had the Seafood Soup. Lots of flavor and very filling with a great assortment of shellfish. My friends ordered Steak Enchiladas and enjoyed every bite. We all enjoyed the Chips and Guacamole with an assortment of vegetable. Best "guac" ever!! Our hostess Nichole (from Canada) was friendly and welcoming with lots of information about the area and her life of travel. Thanks for a wonderful evening. We shall return!!Thank you very much!!!

Don't miss this place when you are visiting Jaco, Costa Rica. Great view, service and food that is cooked on a wood burning stove. The staff who work there are wonderful and make the visit worth the mountain road to get there. I've been there twice now and will be back again and again.

We happened on this gem by chance. We were looking for a place to stop on our drive from San Jose to Manuel Antonio, and thought Zona K looked inviting. We completely underestimated. Everything we ordered - from caprese salad to fried rice to pastries to smoothies - was amazing. Just as an example, the fried rice was heaping with delicious fresh vegetables and the breaded chicken was crisp and tender (ordered it in case it would tempt our child - someone at the neighboring table had a seared tuna steak that made my mouth water). Service was great. In terms of size, Zona K has the vibe of a sidewalk cafe - some seating inside and a few tables outside. It's nice that this is not on Jaco's busy "strip," this was nice and relaxed.We're so glad we stopped, and I was motivated to actually write about it because it was such a find.

Iâll preface my review by saying weâve visited this restaurant many times before during our annual visits to Jaco & have had good service & good to great food. Well....this last visit was a complete disaster. The waitress, sheâs never waited on us before, had an overwhelmingly obvious rotten attitude. In the middle of my ordering, she turned her back to me & walked to another table & started talking to a guy. Then, the entire time our party of 6 was ordering, she was rolling her eyes, & never smiled once. It was like she thought we shouldnât be there. She was probably the most rude waitress Iâve ever experienced.Then, the food came. Our friend ordered a the beef filet med. rare & it came out well done....looked like chicken fried steak.I ordered the special, Camerones with salad. What I recâd was a slop of sautéed onions & peppers, with what appeared to be 3, over cooked shrimp-sized langoustines with small claws & heads still on. I love authentic CR & Latin Am cooking & flavors. It was almost like they had some leftover langoustines & served them to us. There were 3 fried plantains that were so hard, they were inedible. My husband & I left hungry.The other 2 dishes were only so-so.They brought out a new steak & it was better.Either they had a new cook on Monday or they need to get a new one. This was the worst food our entire trip. Not sure if weâll ever go back.

first the good: the beaf dish, the seafood soup and the drinks (killer maracuja pisco and pina colada!!!!!!!)second, the not so good: the pulpo was over-tenderized to the point of being mushy (had much better in italy and greece), the mixed seafood fry plate was over-cooked and really lacked flavour.....in general, a bit of salt would do wonders, also some lime with fried dishes and seafood.tips: beware the dip with the fried plantains, it will take the skin off your tongue...lollastly, the service: slow would be the best to describe it. when there are less than 10 people in the restaurant it shoulnd' take 30 minutes just to get a couple fo drinks; even for Tico time that is more than slow.....dont think we will go back.....

Stopped in at Mono Verde for dinner. I sat at the bar, the bartender recommended the Mojito and it was one of the best I have had. The ceviche mix was fresh and tasty, watch outfit the hot sauce it has a kick. The bartender told me one of the specials was whole fried red snapper, again another tasty dish. Great experience, I would consider it a little pricey, but it is a vacation after all.
