8. Speakeasy Pizza
Best pizza in Coco!
Reviewed By Rob_in_Costa_Rica
Speakeasy is super convenient, right on the main street, just after the turn off for Playa Ocotal. We ordered the meat lover's pizza and drinks all around and really enjoyed our meal. The toppings were excellent... honestly the first time I've had real canadian bacon since moving to Costa rica. The food came quickly, the service was great, and the value.. especially considering the amount and quality of toppings, was was wonderful. This is now my family's favorite pizza restaurant in Coco.

Ordered the salmon. The portion was extremely small, service was horrible. Very slow, had to repeatedly chase my waiter, and remind him twice about my order. Never coming here again, overpriced mediocre food with terrible service!!Patrick Thanks, We hope we can comply your expectations on another occasion; if you like to tell us what happened, send us an email to [email protected], your comments make us improve. #ThisIsHardRock
6. Buzzed Monkey BBQ & Grill
Reviewed By Michael S
I have been eating BBQ my entire life. I have traveled all over the Southern USA and tried them all. But this is one of the absolute BEST BBQ restaurants EVER and it is located right here in Playa Hermosa Guanacaste. Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Smoked Chicken Wings, etc. All amazing! I have lived here for almost 20 years and have been waiting patiently for BBQ to finally arrive. Thank God, it is here. You HAVE to check this place out. Small and quaint, family owned, and amazing food.

We stopped at Zi thinking we could get a quick meal before heading back to our condo for the night. The service was quite slow. Our server checked on us twice in the first few minutes after sitting down, but after telling her we still needed time to review the menu we didnât see her again for probably 10-15 minutes. I ordered fajitas, but thatâs not what I received. Iâm not exactly sure what it was, but ate it because by the time it came we were anxious to finish & leave. My husband said his meal was good. Hello tkecincy,Let me apologize for your recent experience at Zi Lounge. It appears our salonera stopped by a couple of times to take your order but you were not ready. It is always a balance to determine when to come back to someone's table once they state that they need more time. We will review with the staff to check back a bit sooner. I have sent you a request to find out more information on your meal. We do have supervisors on the floor for this reason. If you did not get what you order please let the salonera or supervisor know so we can rectify the issue immediately. If you do not give the restaurant a chance to either replace the meal or even comp it then we both failed. It is our policy to rectify all issues in this way. If you are still in the area please stop back in and we will comp you a fajita plate. Our customers and their experience are our #1 priority.Gracias

Open air bar and bites restaurant on the ocean.. Awesome atmosphere and good food. Very relaxed place to grab some drinks or lunch. Our party got ceviches, fish sandwiches and pizzas.. All were good. A few stray dogs roaming the restaurant which didn't bother us as my kids are huge dog lovers, but it may bother some. A must visit if you are in Playa Hermosa
