Chile Rojo was really nice. The service was great. The owner Andrew, was very helpful, fun to talk to, and overall very nice. The food was very good, we had the plantains de mexicana and the burrito. Both awesome. He also made Vietnamese Pho which was amazing. He made us feel welcome. The bar sits above the street so it... More

Food, service, value, atmosphere... all superb! The live entertainment at Chile Rojo is just as good! Great crowd! Staff is fluent in Spanish and English and often other languages(which is nice for out of towners). Good strong WiFi for doing work. Food and Drink specials are always a hit.

Food was mediocre at best. One dish was so salty we sent it back. Poor attempt at Asian dishes. service was ok, nothing special. I was expecting alot more of this place - but we left underwhelmed snd disappointed.

I should preface this by mentioning that I'm a sucker for a burrito... But even so, what an awesome place! My girlfriend and I ate and drank here a couple of times. Nice staff and good atmosphere with live music. The food was incredible, we even got it to go one night so we could eat it on the beach.... More

Amazing atmosphere...the perfect Costa Rican tastes in a restaurant. We sat at the counter overlooking puerto viejo's Main Street...the chefs prepare everything right behind you in the outdoor kitchen. Everything was amazing...the coconut-topped chicken fingers, the burrito, the tuna burger, the trio tacos (bananas as toppings!!!) Service was also great. I wouldn't mind there being more food served as I... More

The sushi in this place is magnificent. Real tasty. If you are searching for other food there are better places in Puerto Viejo.

Wish we hadn’t found it.. Based on a recommendation from our hotelowner, we set out to find this restaurant in the centre.. which we eventually did after looking up. She hadn’t told us that it wasn’t on street level. Feeling silly we went up and were glad to sees that we still made happy hour. We ordered some cocktails which... More

We are at Chile Rojo our first night in PV and it was definitely our weakest meal. It is fun to sit on the second floor and watch all the happenings on Main Street. Overall, we found much better food elsewhere.

The food was OK, we took the special menu with a 3 course meal. the entrance was pretty tasteless, the main course (fish) was good, and the dessert was OK. The live music was way too loud, we could not hear each other. And let's say that the place itself has a great location, but it's way too Americanised. Was... More

The food was great! Andrew (the owner) came to our table and discussed our options. I was with a group of 9 on a tour. The chef came out to review special diet needs (we had a wide variety of special needs!) and he accommodated everyone. I went twice with our group - the typical Costa Rican meal was very... More
