About
Authentic Caribbean Costa Rican cooking on the road toward Playa Hermosa, a calm break from the town center. The Caribbean chicken with rice and beans — rice simmered in coconut milk — is the dish to get, with gallo pinto and patacones at breakfast and coconut desserts like arroz con leche y coco to finish. Warm, welcoming service.

If you are looking for the best restaurant in Santa Teresa, this is it 🌴 This place serves authentic Caribbean Costa Rican cuisine and it is, without exaggeration, the most delicious food in Santa Teresa. The flavors are rich, traditional, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the Caribbean influence in every dish. The pollo con rice and beans, Caribbean style, was outstanding 🍗 The rice is cooked in coconut milk, the chicken is tender and full of flavor, and the seasoning is exactly what you hope for when searching for real Costa Rican Caribbean food. Do not skip the desserts. The arroz con leche y coco is one of the best desserts in Santa Teresa 🥥✨ The service is warm, friendly, and attentive. You feel welcome from the moment you arrive 🤍 The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, which makes it a perfect escape from the busy town center of Santa Teresa. If you are driving from Santa Teresa to Playa Hermosa, this restaurant is a must stop 🚗🌊 It is located close to one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, so it is ideal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner after a beach day. If you are staying at Macanas Villas or anywhere near Playa Hermosa, this should be your go to restaurant in Santa Teresa for authentic Caribbean food. Highly recommended for anyone searching for the best Caribbean restaurant in Santa Teresa, traditional Costa Rican cuisine, or a peaceful restaurant near Playa Hermosa beach 🌅
My husband and I had breakfast here twice while staying in Santa Teresa. The restaurant is cute and spacious and has excellent service. The menu has a Caribbean Costa Rican flavor. I had the best gallo pinto at the restaurant with patacones and omelette. We finished the meal with Cajeta de Coco which the waitress told me is a regional staple in the Caribbean. We enjoyed getting away from the touristy hustle and bustle of of Santa Teresa for a more traditional experience.
Absolutely the best food in all of Santa Teresa. 😍 The food is Caribbean Costa Rican and it's delicious. There's something for everyone. Plus, the team is the nicest ☺️ You can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My favorite is the Caribbean chicken with rice and beans and patacones. Would definitely recommend going there if you're going from Santa Teresa to Playa Hermosa or if you're walking along the beach in Santa Teresa and you want to have a nice restaurant close to the beach. If you're staying at any of the bungalows or villas close to the restaurant, this should be your go-to lunch or dinner spot, like it was for us. ☺️
