If you are up for tasty meal at a simple local eatery look no further! Run by a tico family , they serve the freshest yummiest pineapple juices, tasty large portions of food at very reasonable prices. We had chicken rice, frijoles with tacos, guacamole with tacos and juices while we were.

seeing this restaurant ranked in top 4 of Monteverde we were disappointed. I suspect the ranking has more to do with cheap prices than good food. Staff were very friendly and accomodating but I suggest spending more if food quality is important to you.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but this place was full of lots of great Tico foods and flavors. Had a great meal with the family.

Our group of nine had lunch at this simple yet very tasty restaurant where you get your money's worth. The portions are large and very fresh. The Corvina filet was excellent. They also have fresh fruit drinks and shakes that are very good. It gets crowded for dinner and I recommend you make a reservation. We showed up for dinner... More
