"Great food and superb customer service, I ate here last night before taking in a service at San Carlos. The staff was very kind and attentive, provided some great recommendations on their menu and it did not disappoint. Try their rice and chicken (CR typical) with chips, you’ll enjoy it."

"Stopped here on a tour, and I was not disappointed! We had the mixed seafood ceviche and chicken nachos. Probably one of the best ceviches I have ever had! Highly recommend as it comes with fish, shrimp, and octopus. The beans in the nachos were the secret ingredient. Service was great even though I don't speak Spanish."
