We ate at El Manglar last night and positively loved it. The steak was perfectly done and the accompanying mashed potatoes and beans were delicious. The Healthy Pita Wrap was amazing - beyond expectations. And service from Angie was amazing - she knows just how much attention to provide, and she is a lovely warm person. The setting is so cozy - loved it! Can be a bit hard to find, but it is worth the search!Thank you for dining with us! We are so happy that you enjoyed your meals and were comfortable in your surroundings. We'll pass your compliments on to Angie. Please come back to see us again soon!

Beach Dog Cafe

Great beachfront spot. Smoothies and fish tacos are excelent! Needs to be on Tripadvisor. Breakfast/lunch - open to 3.

Reviewed By hjtravel2015

This place has such a nice vibe. Super chill and staff is stellar. Loved the resident cat. Came here the first and last night in town and did not disappoint. We wish we could have been there for live music but maybe next time. The picklemole is phenomenal! Soon will try and imitate and rotate at home. Lots of good vegetarian options with tons of flavors. Our whole family, including picky boy, found plenty to keep full. They had a local brewery tropical ipa on tap one night that was super. Nothing on tap other evening and stuck to Tona. Can't go wrong --go there -be fed & happy Wanted to promote by buying a t-shirt but only had xl available. Also, sink in bathroom was in need of repair

Reviewed By carlosvirgilioa

In our last night in Nosara, we decided to dine in Playa Guiones. Kayasol came up as an option.Menu: Easy to follow but not too attractive and little optionsPrice: Just the average for Nosara (rather high in general) but nothing too out of the ordinaryFood: Just OK. Not really a wow factor or memorable to be frank (we had fish casado, fish tacos, and shrimp burrito)Location/Place: Not memorable either. Hard to find a parking spot and they wont help you to find oneService: While the waitresses are veeeery friendly and try their best, there were only 2 that night, and certainly that wasn't enough for the amount of customers, and the fact that they need to wait the tables + serve at the bar. It took forever for the food -and the bill- to come...I had to stand up and pay directly with them, and still I had to wait ~10min before they processed my payment right there with them. Some people came and waited more than 15 min before they left, as the menu never came.If they invest more in staffing, they could improve a bit.

El Chivo Cantina

Mexican inspired bar and restaurant serving cocktails, craft beer and locally sourced food. Family friendly with an outdoor playground and weekly kids movie. Live music, weekend brunch and daily food and drink specials.

Reviewed By 12CherieH

The food was good, especially the shrimp and beef tacos. The biggest appeal for us though was the little jungle gym in their mini jungle. Very cool area for our kids to play while we waited for the food.

Rosi's Soda Tica

Reviewed By Elleinfl

You can't beat Rosi's for the freshness and the value! Ate here twice on our vacay and both times we all loved our meals. We had the chicken filet with rice and beans and steak sandwich (was really good but heads-up, it's a beef stew on bread...would've had it in a bowl had we known). Service was friendly and pretty quick considering each meal is prepared fresh. We paid $20 for four meals. Best value in Nosara!

Reviewed By angelarQ6354DN

We had lunch here and ordered fish tacos (delicious!!!), pizza (Hawaiian and 10 pies) and a quinoa bowl and everyone’s food was very good. Half way through our lunch some monkeys decided to come out of the trees and run along the power lines which was very exciting for us to see. Service was quick and the prices are super reasonable!
