Are here 1 night on a visit to monteverde and we were very impressed. Had the shrimp pasta and tuna steak with vegetables which were both amazing. Shared the tres leches cake to finish. An excellent meal and the staff were very friendly. Best food on our trip.

Our tour group brought us here for lunch and we pre-ordered our meals while on the bus. Several people left the restaurant when the fajitas were served with moldy tortillas. I had ordered a beef dish with an Argentinian seasoning that was just ok- actually was not very flavorful. My husband had a chicken dish that was just OK, not sure what it was. My kids ordered fajitas and they left with the other people to get pizza down the street. I'm wishing we ate at the rotisserie chicken place that was across the street since that smelled amazing. The owners were apologetic and offered everyone a free drink, but better care needs to be taken when prepping the plates since it was not hard to miss the bright blue-green mold all over the tortillas so I think we were all praying no other food was spoiled that we ate.

We were in Monteverde without a car, so we taxied to Arrecifes, taking our host's recommendation. It's out of the town center on a very un-glamorous road so our view was of trucks and motorcycles as darkness fell. Although it was open from noon, our 5:30 arrival was obviously too early and service was slow for us, the only diners in the restaurant. At 6 a waiter showed up and then another couple. The food was satisfying although not cheap.

We came here because we wanted a quick light bite. The menu is extensive and offers a fantastic selection of traditional Costa Rican/Spanish food. It's a popular restaurant but we didn't need to book. The staff are really friendly and the food was excellent value for money.
