About
A local soda a seven-minute walk from Manuel Antonio's beach where the Caribbean-style Costa Rican cooking is the draw — the Caribbean ribs and chicken come up again and again, tender and full of flavor. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the zombie burger has its own fans. A genuine local meal right by the park, without the tourist markup.

Nice place to eat in Costa Rica. It is affordable compared to others in the area. We got grilled fish fillet, seafood soup, chicken soup, surf and turf, and bolognese. Grilled fish fillet: 2 stars of 5 stars. Seafood soup: 4 stars of 5 stars. Chicken soup: 5 stars of 5 stars. Bolognese: 5 stars of 5 stars. Surf and turf: 5 stars of 5 stars. There is music inside and kind of crowded later in the night. We got there early, so we found a nice spot in the corner. Fish fillet was ok because it had not much taste to it, kind of bland. If you don’t care about the taste and just want the protein, it works. We also got a mango smoothie w/ milk and pineapple w/ water. Both were good but smoothies w/ water have a better slushie taste. Waiters came around not often but maybe once or twice. Nice place to eat if on a budget.
A local soda in Manuel Antonio, about a 7-minute walk from the beach. This was the first place where we tried Caribbean Costa Rican flavors, and the food was absolutely delicious. Portions were good, prices were fair, and overall it was a great local dining experience.
Right next to our hotel, this was a great place for dinner. The Caribbean ribs (or chicken) was really good, very tasty, compared to some we've had on this trip. Great atmosphere, too. I would highly recommend, especially as you'll be spoilt for choice.
