Restaurante Caballo Negro

Our restaurant is a favorite for locals and travelers alike. We have great breakfasts, which include Huevos Rancheros, and homemade Corned Beef Hash with corned beef made from scratch by the owner and chef, Monika. Because of Monika's German heritage, she

Caballo Negro was recommended to us and we are so glad we stopped! We were so impressed with the ambiance, the view, the food, the service...everything spectacular! We chose a spinach omelet which was loaded with spinach and came with the best curried potatoes I have ever eaten. AND fresh fruit! Couldn't resist the homemade apple strudel either! Monika is not only a fabulous cook she is an artist and actually made the beautiful tables in the restaurant. After you eat be sure to browse the shop with locally made items and artwork. This was one of our most memorable and enjoyable stops during our month in Costa Rica. I highly recommend this gem!Thanks so much for the review, and glad we made your visit to Costa Rica memorable. And next time try the Corned Beef Hash. We are the only ones around who serve that, along with the Reuben for lunch. Hope to see you again soon.

Our experience gives this restaurant an average rating although others gave it better. We tried this based on TripAdvisor. I ordered a cheeseburger and was told the hamburger meat had not arrived from San Jose so no burgers. I then ordered a beef burrito which, sad to say, I could not detect any beef. It was mostly refried beans. Perhaps no beef because the supply had not arrived. We also watched a cat jump up onto the bar. French fries were very good, though. Overall, we would not visit this restaurant again.

First visit in Nuevo Arenal. Very inviting open air restaurant with beautiful view of the lake. Parking up front. Very friendly staff. Menu has variety of foods for all times of day.

When the restaurant first opened, we didn't have the money on hand, them not set up to accept credit cards, so we asked if we could pay later, and they said yes. It's a rustic, family run restaurant/bar. With good food and portion sizes for the price. Very much Tico style. Rice and beans and meat. But what I fell in love with is the whole fried tilapia fish with yucca! Initially, it was 3mil. A great bargain. Now it runs about 4 or 5 mil depending on size. The view is calming, relaxful, and green. There are fancy chickens, sheep, turkeys. Cats to clean up your bones if you want. If you want something not on the menu, and they have the ingredients on hand, they will make it for you. It is a bit of a wait for the order, as everything is fresh cooked. Sometimes odd things happen, like quesadilla without cheese. So far, no desserts. My experience is, as a couple, we eat, feel full, have left overs to take home, and usually for around 8mil. A place we can visit weekly without breaking the pension account.
