I had an amazing experience at this authentic Costa Rican restaurant! The service was excellent, and the main dishes were delicious, especially the famous Gallo Pinto Im addicted. I highly recommend trying their Tacos Ticos or their Casado. They also have great drink options, including traditional coffee and natural juices.

The best food Ive ever try in this area, service was amazing, I tried the Churrasco with black beans and rice and everything was perfect, the owner is always there making sure that you feel good and comfortable ...
