$ Puntarenas Spanish

About

A typical Puntarenas place where the owner's warmth is the first thing people mention — guests say they felt at home and left still talking about it. The food is made with care, often by a single pair of hands, so service can be slow and it's smart to order ahead or ask the day's special. Worth the wait for the home-cooked flavor.
