Borders

Reviewed By 2RovingWanderers - Colorado

Whether in town for a few days or a few hours of sightseeing, Borders is a must stop! Conveniently located at the dock. this restaurant has the perfect second-floor location for gorgeous river views and watching the daily lives of the locals. - all with a casual, open-air ambiance, and internet access for approximately $1 an hour. Aside from a full coffeehouse menu (trust me - after a few days in country, a full-bodied cappuccino hits the spot!), they offer a wonderful and affordable menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner - all available to go, if you have a boat to catch. The English-speaking owner is a superb chef, offering up the most traditional flavors from across the country. And for the shrimp lovers, you'll definitely want to sample the giant river shrimp - which are the size of small lobsters, and loaded with an unforgettable array of fresh garlic and traditional seasonings. Definitely recommended!

Borders is a lovely little open-air place that serves delicious curries, pasta, and fajitas. The owner is very kind and personable, and made us feel right at home. We visited during low season, which might account for the fact that they only had one kind...MoreMuchas Gracias, los esperamos nuevamente.

Cafe de Huesped Chinandegano

Reviewed By R S - San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

We loved this spot and when we make it back to El Castillo we'll make bee line for their micheladas. They were a perfect mix of lime, tomato, spicy, and general umami. The food was awesome (pollo jalapeño!). I really enjoyed the gentleman waiting the tables and his blend of service and friendliness. Just a great spot to eat. Maybe next trip we'll sleep there, too. (We heard good things form another traveler.)

Restaurante Daryzu

Reviewed By T-SGlobetrotters - Preston, Lancashire

We had two meals from here. The first a delicious dinner of fish fillet cooked in garlic, Marga at Luna del Rio arranged to have delivered to her hotel as it was raining extremely heavily. The second a vegetable pasta lunch, we took at their restaurant located a little way down the main street, there is a two platform structure to the rear with good views over the river. Beer is very cold and prices are good. Can't fault it, we very much enjoyed both of our meals here.

Soda Sabores

Reviewed By jeduweb - Salaberry de Valleyfield

Nous y sommes allés deux fois soit pour souper le 17 avril 2016 et pour le petit déjeuner du 18 avril 2016 et avons été enchantés pour ces deux visites. Le service y est excellent. Les deux jeunes filles sont radieuses et attentionnées. La nourriture est absolument savoureuse et préparée avec goût. On peut y prendre les 3 repas du jour à des prix imbattables. Les petits déjeuners étaient à 65 cordobas avec une grosse tasse de café inclus. Le Sandwich de mon épouse valait 45 cordobas pour le souper et mon poulet, enfin je crois bien que c’était du poulet, valait 80 cordobas si je me souviens bien. On peut y écouter de la belle musique douce et latino ce qui est rare au Nicaragua avec cette forte omniprésence de la musique anglaise partout dans le pays. On peut manger dehors où à l’intérieur.
Voyez nos photos si vous désirez avoir une idée de l’endroit.
C’est définitivement un charmant restaurant où nous vous exhortons à aller.
