This eating establishment was actually called Tiki Bar or Breakers Sports Bar. No matter what it's called, it is located on the beach at Jaco Laguna Resort.We ate her twice during our stay as it is a great place to be able to dine and watch the sunset. There is some bar seating and the rest of the seating are tables on the lawn with concrete tables covered by tiki hut style umbrellas.We ate here twice. The first night we started with one server for all of the tables and he had a hard time keeping up before others showed up to help. The second time there was more staff when we arrived. Both meals I ordered were excellent - coconut shrimp and tiki tacos which were mahi mahi tacos. My wife had stuffed chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables and a hamburger. She thought both were very good. Other items that had been ordered by our group were mango shrimp and sea bass which were also good. Would recommend eating here.

Came for their special. Ribs were tender but still with some toothiness (critical to a southern rib critic). The sides were simple but never took away from the star -the ribs. Wines by the two half bottles just right, and from Argentina and Chile were perfect balance to the spicy flavor of ribs. There were enough ribs left for several meals, which is a huge bonus to me.

We had a platter of mixed seafood (tuna, shrimp, octopus, and marlin) and a platter of mixed grilled meats (chicken, beef, pork, ribs, and chorizo) that were each supposed to feed 2. There were 5 of us and we had plenty. Both platters came with mixed vegetables and roasted small potatoes. Everything was delicious. Everyone enjoyed the garlic octopus and the marlin, which has a chimichurri-like garnish. Server was very attentive though it was low season.
