Visited here for lunch after spending the morning at a pretty secluded beach about 10 miles away. We purposefully avoided the restaurants facing the beach. Found this little gem quite by accident. For $11USD I had a grilled Caribbean chicken sandwich, fried plantains and hibiscus lemonade.All absolutely delicious.Hi MauiPigFarmer,Thank you for the excellent review!We are very happy that you wandered away from the main strip and came and found us :)And more so that you found us worth the extra exploration ;)Safe Travels!Buki

If you are looking for a fresh cooked to order breakfast served by the nicest family look no further than Jalapenos. Mike and his wife made us feel like part of their family while sitting outside in the cutest garden.The burritos were amazing. They were huge and delicious and filled us up till dinner time.If the setting and food weren't enough they invited us behind the restaurant to see and hand feed their chickens. For is city slickers from the US it was a definite highlight.

We enjoyed an amazing dinner for our large group and Jonathon our server was both friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We started with a complimentary ceviche which was delicious. We ordered a Costa Rica style filet mignon which did not disappoint along with grilled vegetables which we shared. Our wine, Canyon Road was both economical and an amazing Merlot for the price.

Everyday from 5-6 pm we enjoyed Happy Hour at the Azul Pool Grill. Prior to that we had amazing servers, Frank, and Joseph around the poo who kept us fed and hydrated. One of our favorites around the pool were the Chicken Wings. Pass on the Nachos, not good. Service was both friendly and attentive. That's why we love Costa Rica!!

This was an incredible experience! Not only do you get a unique and delicious meal made in front of you while you relax, Noam also provides excellent conversation. Take the time to appreciate both the fine dining (each dish with a story and made from local ingredients, including from Noam’s own garden), but also Noam’s life story in general. You won’t regret it!Thank you Kate for being my first dinner of the low season: the two of you are so loving, and kind and fun. I had such a wonderful evening.
