About
An open-air grill right on the beach, with a setting regulars describe as something out of a movie: TVs in every direction, music, and a laid-back vibe. The chicken and rice and the house burger are the usual orders, and you can watch your food cooked in the open. Service is friendly but runs slow, and the food lands solid rather than spectacular.

This checked all the boxes for the perfect place to eat. This place feels like something out of a movie—a stunning beach in a tropical paradise, complete with delicious food and so much more. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Good food and clean restrooms. Tried the chicken & Rice, and the house burger
This place is Costa Rica’s hidden gem—no exaggeration. I stumbled on Morales Grille on my last day like a plot twist in a feel-good movie, and now I’m mad I didn’t find it sooner. The atmosphere? Straight-up perfect. Comfortable seating, TVs in every direction, and music that had me vibin’ before my food even hit the table. And the food? Whew. Let’s just say it was so good I caught the spirit of James Brown—I was doing the splits in my soul. Every bite had me dancing like, “I feel good!” But what really took it to another level was the service. Friendly, fast, and on point—it felt like they weren’t just serving food, they were serving love on a plate. I seriously wish I had eaten here every day of my trip. Next time I touch down in Costa Rica, Morales Grille is my first stop—no questions asked. Thank you for ending my trip on a high note. Y’all are the real MVPs!
