Been coming to Jaco for some years. First time here and I wish we had come sooner. Without a doubt this is the best seafood we have ever had in Jaco. This place should be in the top ten restaurants not 47. Fresh , flavorful and served at the right temperature. Something you don’t always have in Jaco . Go for the platter of mixed seafood with everything from lobster(and good size one for each person)to Pargo snd Dorado along with octopus, squids clams and shrimps .... perfectly broiled / sautéed in a light butter garlic all for a most reasonable price. The service from Hugo and others was attentive and the side choices were great. We loved the salad and the patacones

Restaurante Los Cocodrilos

Reviewed By MissDCWilson

This restaurant is located right next to the bridge where you can see the crocodiles and several bird species. It is also across the street from some almond trees that are visited by Scarlet Macaws and some times may pose for pictures. The place is clean but busy so waiting for your meal could be a while if you are in a hurry. The menus has many options and each meal is really large compare to most other restaurants. They have great fresh fruit drinks and the staff is friendly. You can spend about $20 for two meals with drinks more or less. Keep your camera handy but also keep an eye on it. You can get better pictures across the street and down a driveway of the crocodiles and some iguanas and birds. Buen Provecho!

We came across this restaurant whilst driving out of Tarcoles and decided to stop for lunch. A wise choice. We had great seafood and sat outside undercover for a lovely meal.The fish and seafood we had was all very fresh and well cooked. Good efficient service too. Worth a try.

Soda el Guacimo

Reviewed By FPAdventurer

The concierge at a hotel recommended this stop on our way back from Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. We wanted typical Costarican food with a nice ambience but he was wrong. The food was very bland and the ambience was not very nice. There are many options around that I think would have been much better. I don’t recommend this place.

Restaurante Vista Mar

Reviewed By NaturesMoments

We were staying at Villa Lapas on All Inclusive but on our last night we decided to eat out and our guide recommended Vista Mar. Great restaurant, it was packed with locals (Valentine night) and had a special menu but we decided to just eat on the normal menu. I started with chicken caesar salad and my wife had Ceviche. Then I had chicken pasta which was very nice but not as good as the caesar salad. Limited choice if you don't like fish. My wife thought it was one of the best meals on our holiday. She also told me how go the margaritas were and she had a few!!

The gardens that Cindy and David have created are spectacular. My group of 4 went here on Valentine's Day and it was such an amazing experience. The walk through the gardens before dinner and taking in the breathtaking views was a great start to an amazing night. The food that was served was good. David was a wonderful host as Cindy was injured and not super mobile during our visit. taking time to visit with everyone. The open bar was fantastic. The quesadillas during appetizers were our favorite. I would definately recommend eating here and will do it again on my next trip to Costa Rica. Pura Vida!Ms. Stephens,That you very much for your great review of Adventure Dining. Cindy and I enjoyed your company and thank you for making our Valentines Day enjoyed for us also.
