After my first review which was not the greatest, I have been back to Rancho Tico three times. Every one of those visits were really good. My favorite thing was the fish with jalepeno sauce. They really make good drinks as well. I will go back for more the next time I visit Nosara.

We wanted to eat local food, this place was in the town of Nosara and allows for you to have a more "local" dining experience. We each got the Casada's and really enjoyed them. The pizza looked amazing, but we didn't try it. One of the most friendly wait staffs we experienced on a week's vacation.

Love the high rancho design. Excellent Tico food, with great steaks and fish and newly added pizza. Friendly service and very modestly priced for Nosara

By far the best deal in town. Rancho Tico has a great blend of locals and tourists every night. Cuisine is local Tico flavor, everything is fresh and delicious. Owned by a Tico family that has been in the area for many years, they are very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Try the sopa de pollo or sopa de... More
