  • Really fun place and very lively depending on the night you visit! I came by one night when the karaoke was on but went back a couple of nights later for a more chill vibe. The vegetarian rice and beans was tasty, a lovely sauce with the vegetables and the salad was super fresh and zingy. The margarita wasn't the best I've had but they were super cheap, especially during happy hour. The staff were really lovely and friendly too.

  • They have delicious burgers. We love the punta piuta burger and for seafood lovers, the punta uva burger. They have great happy hour specials, live music sometimes, and fun events.

  • I had a really nice experience there. Went during happy hours, their Cuba Libre is really good. I had the caribbean chicken, it was one of my favorite meal during my trip to costa rica (even if everything I ate was really good). The chicken and sauce simply wow, and the rice is one of the best I have eat in my entire life!!! Cooked in coco milk, it was so delicious. They also gave us free desert, which is a really sweet fruit and taste good (I don't remember the name) I recommand this place

  • This place has the best cocktails in Cahuita by far! We loved the cacao margarita so we continued coming here. Great happy hour. Burgers are highly recommended as well as the snacks. Nothing you can do wrong really. Tops it all with very friendly waiter who's English is perfect. Thumbs up!
