About
A beachfront spot on Puntarenas's paseo de los turistas, best known for cheap cold beers, good music, and a relaxed local feel right on the sand. The staff get described as kind and willing to improvise, even off-menu vegetarian plates like bean tostadas and patacones. Come for the setting and the prices; the kitchen and facilities can be hit or miss, so keep expectations easygoing.

Lovely little beach side spot for local food. I'm assuming great views of sunset but we were there in the dark. Wouldn't usually stop there because I'd assume they wouldn't be able to do vegetarian food, HOWever the señor who sat us was very nice and thoughtful in helping us come up with some off-menu options. We got a bean veggie tostada and patacones, which are traditional smashed plantain patties, deep fried and served with black beans and salsa. Little heavy handed on the crema (actually it was mayo) and the bathrooms were very bad. But so happy to be fed so late, prior to a long drive back.
Worst food and service in our opinion and we have been here for 1 week.
Just got coffee but staff was pretty cool.
