We read some great reviews about this restaurant on Tripadvisor and decided to pay it a visit. We werenât disappointed. We were given a very friendly, warm greeting by the waitress who showed us to our table. She fully explained how their meals were cooked over a wood fire giving it the unique and delicious flavour. She went on to explain the specials for that night and was very helpful. We had tortilla chips with homemade guacamole dip for starters. A very large portion which was really tasty. We both opted for the chicken skewers. There were plenty of large pieces of chicken with vegetables inbetween that was cooked to perfection. The flavour was lovely. It was served on a bed of vegetables with really tasty and small garlic new potatoes. This was a good sized meal that filled us both up. The service was quick and the waitress was very attentive. A very enjoyable meal in a lovely clean restaurant. We recommend a visit.Hola, gracias por tomar tiempo para escribirnos ,es un placer disfrutaran de las deliciosas brochetas de pollo, trabajamos para que tengan una linda experiencia y reciban el mejor servicio. saludos

Stayed at the Nayara hotel and ate on two of the nights and had excellent meals on both occasions, including one evening which was a buffet. We had breakfast here as well and it was also excellent. The service and the staff were all excellent and so friendly it was a realm pleasure. All the staff here looked after us so are worth a special mention Maria, Andrea, Alexa and Yessenia you were all amazing and made our stay so memorable - thanks

We called in here on the way back to our hotel from a hot mornings walking. We didnât speak Spanish and the staf didnât speak English but they were lovely and we got there in the end. Reasonable prices for a touristy area, superb views. I ordered a burger, something I donât usually eat (I had already had rice for breakfast), and it was clearly home made and a very tasty meal. Wished we were in the area for longer as we would have returned. It isnât flashy just friendly with good freshly cooked food.
5. Balazo Restaurant & Bar
Balazo Restaurant & BAr is a superior restaurant in El Castillo. A local favorite. The best Cheviche, Steaks and Typical Food. You must try this place.

My fiancé and I visited Balazo and LOVED the fresh seafood and drinks! The fish is so fresh and we had a great time meeting new people. They have karaoke that many enjoyed and it was great entertainment for us!!! They are the only place that stays open after 10 pm in El Castillo. Give them a try if you are in the area!

On our way to our house up the hill from Amigos we often stop for Pollo Nachos to take with us! Delicious! We put them on a China plate and heat for a minute or so. Then sit on our patio, enjoy our view and chow down. Amigos has very good food and we often eat lunch and/ or dinner at the restaurant. It is nice to enjoy their garden that surrounds the patio and fun to watch the cars and buses ride by. In the dry season it can be a little dusty but in the wet season it can be a little noisy. Still good to go to and easy,Thank you very much for your comment we are here to serve youThanks for your visit âº

We ate twice at Phoenix during our week in El Castillo. Juan and Luisa became fast friends -- they are wonderfully welcoming and warm -- and happily accommodated our various allergens and special requests. The patio at sunset is breathtaking. Don't miss Phoenix if you're in the Arenal area!

This was a fun restaurant, providing a nice alternative to the food at Arenal Observatory Lodge where we staying, twenty minutes away.The food was delicious and portions were large. The casado meals were reasonably priced.This is not a touristy restaurant and not a touristy village. This adds to the fun. Only one of the three of us could have chicken for dinner, because they only had enough chicken left for one person!The server was very sweet and personable. She spoke Spanish (no English).

This reminded me of restaurants in the U.S. that serve California burritos. You order at the counter and pick up your food when ready. You are able to build your burrito from several different ingredients. We had dinner with friends and would like to return for lunch. Well worth a visit.
