About
A family-run kitchen where the mother does the cooking, and it shows in the authentic tico plates — casados with carne con salsa, arroz con pollo, ceviche, and patacones. The service feels like being welcomed into a relative's home, warm and attentive down to small touches. Fresh tortillas, fair prices, and food made with obvious care.

This is a family run business and the whole family is so kind and attentive to Service. The food was delicious. We had the ceviche and the patacones as well as the casado with the carne con salsa. 💃 the food was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend going here to eat. A couple things that stood out to me, especially is the waitress offered to take my picture and she was so sweet about encouraging me to do that as well. As in the bathroom I noticed that they have pads and tampons for any girl who needs them. They really go above and beyond to make you feel so comfortable here and they have a random little secret door going into the kitchen, which is fun to watch!!!
We had a great meal and enjoyed the ambiance. My favorite was the Arroz con Pollo, and the Lomo en Salsa Jalapeño was also delicious.
Very chill family owned restaurant serving authentic Costa Rican food. When I say family owned... I mean family owned. The mom is the cook! So its real good food. It wasn't busy compared to the other restaurants, but they were all catering towards more American food and we did not travel all the way to Costa Rica for that. Anyway, we had Corvina con Çamerones, Papas Fritas, the Limonada de coco and Batidos en Agua (pina y mora). Very good food. Very reasonable prices! Very nice servers. Pura Vida!
