This restaurant was actually in Liberia. We flew into the airport here and we needed food ASAP. This place was really good and had local cuisine.

This was the first restaurant we had when we got to Monteverde. It served local cuisine and was a smaller more intimate setting.

This place had the best quesadillas I've ever had. They also had a hot sauce called COVID killer that was super flavorful that you can buy a bottle of.

This place was so good that we ate here both mornings we were in Monteverde. Usually when I am traveling i refuse to eat at the same place twice cause I want to try everything, so that is saying a lot.

This restaurant had a great balcony facing towards an overlook. We caught the most amazing sunset view while we were eating dinner there. Also the food and drinks were fantastic.

We sandwiches for lunch here and they were really good. Also they have really good iced coffee, perfect for a day by the beach.

Great for a slightly fancier meal. I got the tuna steak and it was really good and fresh.

Getting Mexican food in Costa Rica felt like an interesting choice, but it definitely was a good one. We actually ate here twice and it was so good. We also tried a smoothie from there that to this day is the best smoothie I've had in my life.

One of two sodas that we ate at in playa del coco. Nothing is better than local cuisine, especially if you enjoy seafood in a fishing town. The ceviche was so good.

We had breakfast here and it was so good! They have options that would be more familiar to Americans if your looking for that. Also the coffee is great!

This restaurant is right off the beach and facing it. So your meal will come with a great view. I tried the ceviche here and it was so good.
