The food here is good and not expensive. Customer service is good and the cooks are locals. You can find here dishes like omeletts, gallo Pinto (Local typical breakfast) and more! We suggest it for breakfast a lot!

My husband and i came her a few nights ago. The service is always good here and the owner is the chef. Food is always good and well presented. I had the Mahi Mahi special with shrimp and white wine sauce. My husband had the surf and turf and there were no complaints there, the steak was done as requested.. We had a wine and beer with the meal but no room for dessert. Staff are very friendly and we always have a meal here when we are in the area.

We had the fish tacos and the fish burger, the filet was cooked perfectly, the service was fast and friendly. If you are lucky you’ll get to listen to Freelance, awesome band. We’ll definitely come back.

The Beach House Restaurant and Bar

Formerly a private residence, The Beach House has been transformed into a quaint restaurant and bar, renown for its fresh seafood and equally excellent American fare. Located directly on Playa Potrero, The Beach House offers awesome daytime and nighttime

Reviewed By kellydevore

I read the great reviews of this place so we went here our second night in the area. There are many beautiful sunset views in the area, including this one. I gave this 3 because the view is beautiful. We ordered food and they were missing some of the ingredients. Instead of telling me, they made it without the ingredients. When I asked for them to be replaced (as the dish is sitting I front of me), they wanted to up-charge me. I know this seems small, but sometimes you really have a craving, and if the principal ingredients are missing, the food is not the same. All in all, fine drinks and food, but nothing too special. Id suggest looking around a bit before deciding on having dinner here.

Numu Cocina

Global flavors, local tradition. A fusion of Costa Rican flare and exotic tastes. Enjoy sushi and Thai dishes, as well as our take on American and local favorites. Vegan options available. Gluten free menu available.

Reviewed By Bill_McMartin

Food was good if close to American style serving sizes, service was great - attentive staff, personable owner - turned the music volume down on request so we could hear each other without shouting. Open air plus adjustable fans made Air conditioning unnecessary. Happy hour was legitimate unlike other restaurants in the area, it really was cheaper to buy beer or cocktails during Happy Hour. Easy access walking from anywhere in Surfside (the unofficial name for the area), parking is limited but there are always places, last resort is the municipal parking lot nearby - it was usually vacant. Did not try the Indian dishes.

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!

Sentido Norte Restaurant

Dining in Sentido Norte is like dining in a local friend's gourmet kitchen. Everything is accounted for, every request can be met, and everything is delicious.

Reviewed By nancykm13

We stayed at Casa Chameleon and enjoyed nearly every meal here because it was so delicious! From pancakes at breakfast to ceviche at lunch to the fish of day at dinner, I could go on and on about how delicious everything was. Servers are speedy and friendly and the view is spectacular. Given the one of a kind views, the prices are fairly reasonable for the quality of food (locally sourced too). Wednesday Asado Night ($65pp) was a one of a kind experience that I highly recommend as you get to try many traditional Costa Rican dishes that are prepared bbq style. I wish I could eat food from here every night it is really that good. It was an honor to show you some of Costa Rica's finest produce, thank you for trusting us!!

One of our favourite places to stop in Coco. The food is good, staff friendly and fast ... the band playing the night we were there was good but too loud and never took a break so we couldn’t talk to people we met. My husband didn’t like the ribs but my wings were excellent!
