Agua | Salada

Loved agua | salada! (which I learned translates to saltwater). So great that this restaurant was just down the hill from us! Lovely ambiance with these cool rattan spherical lights hanging from the trees. I really enjoyed the music they played. We ordered the fried veggies which were delicious as an app & then had the shrimp risotto, which has more of a tomato base, and my spouse enjoyed the mahi sandwich. Perfect after a day on the water! We thought it was a great experience overall & would definitely return to try other things on the menu next time!

Had enjoyable dinner here tonight before the sunset. The shrimp risotto was very flavorful and the Mahi Mahi was very filling. Lots of parrots/parakeets flying overhead kept us entertained while we waited for our food.

Agua Salada in Tamarindo was such a pleasant surprise. I went with three friends, and even without a reservation they welcomed us with warmth and made space for us. Tony was our server, and he was incredible from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and honest with his recommendations. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I had two cocktails, the Cazuela de Mariscos as an appetizer, and the Mahi Mahi for dinner, and each dish was better than the last. My friends were just as impressed with their meals. We had dinner right on the beach, which made the whole experience even better. We’re all grateful we stumbled on this place after making a last-minute decision to visit the area. I’d happily come back on my next trip to Costa Rica. We each spent around $100 USD and it was worth every bit. Pura Vida!
