Potrero & Flamingo Spanish

About

Owners Franky and Stephanie run this hillside restaurant, and reviewers talk about them almost as much as the food — Franky stops by tables to explain dishes and pair wines, and once drove out to pick up a party whose ride never showed. Regulars recommend the chef's tasting menu, the lobster bisque, and the crusted sea bass, and everyone agrees on timing: come before sunset, when the ocean view and the infinity pool are at their best.

I cannot say enough about this place! The owners Franky And Stephanie are both amazing! The food and the atmosphere are one of a kind and the sunsets are unforgettable from this place! We had a party of 8 and were well taken care of by the staff and by the owners! This was the best food we had while visiting Costa Rica and we will definitely go back! The owners went above and beyond for us and we truly appreciated it! Our prepaid ride never showed up to take us to our reservation here and when I called the restaurant to ask if we could still keep our reservation the owner Franky offered to come pick us up! We were staying in mar vista, but I don’t know many owners who would do that! We had a one of a kind experience and all of us absolutely enjoyed our dinner and time in this restaurant! If you are close to this area I would definitely make it a point to eat here!

EXCELLENT!! Stopped by for my birthday dinner. Immediately recognized Frankie, the chef and co-owner, and introduced myself. He was AMAZING and invited us to his chef’s tasting menu. It was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was FANTASTIC but the service was even better. The views are also incredible!!

This restaurant is so awesome! If you can, go when the sun is setting because the views of the ocean is pretty incredible. The venue is great and the infinity pool is pretty awesome. We did the chef experience. Every dish they brought out was so good. Highly recommend doing that. The quality of food was exceptional. I will say the quantity of food wasn’t quite enough so we got a few extra dishes to fill us up because we were pretty hungry. Highly recommend this place. The owners also owns Garcia La Vid which is another delicious restaurant you’ll want to go check out!
