Montezuma Spanish

About

A hillside local favorite where the balcony catches a breeze and looks straight out over the Pacific, often with white-faced monkeys playing in the trees while you eat. The Costa Rican plates, casados and quesadillas get the most mentions, are cheap and generous, with fresh smoothies and cold drinks. Come relaxed: it is popular and the wait can run a little long, but reviewers say it is worth it.

This was a delicious place for lunch and dinner! I received my order quickly and the juice was so refreshing after a day in the sun! Great prices, beautiful view, and a monkey even stopped by to say hi!

I ate here at least once every day while I was in Montezuma. Amazing food, good service, good prices, nice views from the balcony, and good cocktails. I loved the casados and quesadillas.

This local food restaurant can’t be beat! The staff are friendly, the drinks are cold and the food is delicious! We ate here several times during our stay in Montezuma enjoying the authentic Costa Rican food while watching white face monkeys play in the trees.
