Delicious food in a typical Costa Rican restaurant that is owned by a local tico. Nice open space that serves the community near by. Creative delicious menu, traditional to vegetarian. The wraps ( tuna or chicken and portabello mushroom burger are favorites. The ceviche is very typical and fresh. I've never had a bad meal here and we recommend it to all of our hotel guests. Service is usually good and very friendly- and they speak enough English to get tourists thru the process. Occasionally for various reasons it can be slow - seems to happen in CR - kitchens in most places are small and since everything is fresh - it can take a bit more time.. Have a drink from the full bar and chill and enjoy. They also have a local band that plays acoustical and is nice background. Truly one of my fav places in Manuel Antonio.

Very beautiful costa rican atmosphere. Super friendly staff and delicious food. We found this place by accident and we're so happy we did. Open air dining and plenty of local vibes.

Cozy open air local restaurant. Grilled fish was fresh and well seasoned. Cooked order huge burgers available. Maybe overpriced based on USA standards.
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Good service and local advice.
