I had the local fish served whole. It was delicious. More importantly the beer was ICE cold. The atmosphere, well its a huge room for a few people but it was clean and friendly.

Pizzeria El Barrigon

Good pizza and excellent service. Unfortunately it sits right off of the highway 6, so the noise can be annoying.

Las Tinajitas

Reviewed By niyaDenver - denver

Clean and colorful place on the main street of Bijagua with friendly servers and really good Tico food. My dinner plate had tender seasoned chicken breast, rice, black beans, plantains, a remarkable and flavorful hearts of palm dish, and fresh salad. I think this cook has a nice command of spices, and I recommend these tico plates as delicious and reasonable at only about $8. If you want a burger and fries they have that, too.

La Casita del Maiz

Reviewed By Kevin S - Vancouver, Washington

Stayed at an amazing nearby B&B and grabbed a late night meal here. It was very good food. Lots of interesting unique corn based dishes. We thought it was good food and had a nice local Costa Rica flare. Got a bit windy with the open front but we enjoyed the music and watching them prepare some small fried cord meal cakes. The chicken Quesadilla was very good and they had some nice Deserts. Have to give 5 because nothing was wrong with this nice family run road side place.

We stopped here for an early lunch. Great setting and friendly staff. The shrimp salad with avocado was delicious, and presented so nicely! Fantastic coffee as well (like most places in Costa Rica of course). On our way out one of the staff even pointed out a sloth up in the trees for us :)

The Italian restaurant was amazing, so weird to find such great cooking in such a wildlife. Ask for the pasta, we highly recommend it. The breakfast was great too, ask the waiter to make you some homemade fruit juice, we forgot what it was of but it was unique and great.

Frente al volcán Tenorio y donde nacen los Arcoíris, se sitúa ManTi...con un ambiente tranquilo y relajado, música con clase y la más sabrosa comida de la zona montañosa de GUANACASTE. Atendido por sus propietarios quienes le harán sentirse en su casa. Menú variado con especialidad en carnes de res, pollo y cerdo ahumado al cilindro. Ambiente familiar, de amigos y negocios, que con un buen café o vino le hará renovar sus energías bajo el fresco clima de la montaña..

Reviewed By rockwood19 - houston

We had just flown into Liberia and were driving north to our Lodge and looking for a nice place to stop and get a snack. We happened across Manti and not only is it pretty and clean from the outside, it is pretty and immaculately clean on the inside.
The owner, Ronald Guerrero came over and recommended several dishes. We ordered a variety of local dishes based on those recommendations and shared amongst 6 of us. A few minutes later, someone entered with a bag full of fresh herbs & vegetables from the garden and says we are preparing this for you.
OMG, the food was insanely delicious and prepared to perfection. Everything was so fresh and the service was fantastic and friendly. We've been to CR many times and the meal we had at Manti is in the top 5. Our kids and grandkids never stopped talking about this meal the entire trip. Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed.

Restaurante Y Marisqueria Poro

Restaurant and seafood PORO He gives you a special welcome and offers you his excellent Menu. It also invites you to observe the exuberant scenic beauty of the Miravalles Volcano. Enjoy this heavenly place in our facilities. Thinking of your comfort we have for you. Happy journey

Reviewed By AlaskaKings - Anchorage, AK

Having just reviewed Las Tinastes, let me say that if I wanted a quick meal I'd head to Las Tinastes but if I wanted slightly higher quality food then I'd head to Poro. We ate here as a family with two Nicaraguan friends and everyone was able to find something that they wanted to eat and happy with their meal. We were especially happy with the fish dishes, but avoid the Arroz Cantonese unless you think of sliced hot dogs as part of a Cantonese.
