Reviews on Central American food in Playa Hermosa, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. An increasingly upscale village, Playa Hermosa overlooks the Gulf of Papagayo and enjoys a pleasant, tropical climate and family-friendly beaches. Abundant water activities include sport fishing, sailing, scuba diving or snorkeling and leisurely sunset catamaran tours. You and your family will also want to visit the area’s national parks. Try a combination of popular local tours – a full day of horseback riding, swimming and lunch at the Volcan Miravalles National Park or an adventurous Canopy Tour to experience Costa Rica’s ecosystems.Just 10 minutes from Playa Hermosa, the lively village of Coco offers a delightful mix of entertainment and shopping. Bars and discos surround Coco’s central plaza. You might even visit a casino to try your hand at Blackjack or roulette. In Playa Hermosa, stop in for lunch at Laberinto on the beach, and you’ll enjoy an unusual meal at Ginger, an open-air tapas bar on stilts. The wild ginger grows beneath the bar, and the chefs create some very tasty and exotic meals. Try the Upper Deck Sports Bar and Restaurant for a colorful combination of televised sports, cold beer, good food and a pet orphan monkey!

The food is absolutely superb, and complemented with a highly attentive staff, a cozy and intimate ambiance, and a jaw-dropping view, makes this unique hidden gem one of the best restaurants in the country! Everythingâs fresh, immaculately prepared, and beautifully presented. For lunch, you just canât go wrong with their nachos, fish tacos, ahi tuna salad, or steak sandwich. And for dinner, make sure to get there early to watch the sunset over a couple of cocktails, and then enjoy their caribbean style seafood soup starter, followed by one of their freshly caught fish specialties. Highly recommended!Muchas gracias for sharing so many excellent recommendations of our dishes. We really appreciate it and hope you will return soon! Pura vida!

This is a remarkable dining experience. The menu, wine list, food preparation, service, and ambiance are simply superior in every quality. To top it all, the delightful owners personally attend to the guests. You will be challenged to find a better dining experience anywhere worldwide. So if you happen to visit Guanacaste, this restaurant must be on your itinerary. My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at Abbocato, and Iâm now faced with the daunting task of what to do for the next anniversary. I guess weâll have to return to Abbocato!

We LOVED our experience here! The restaurant is by reservation only and they ask that you choose your meal beforehand. More expensive than the other restaurants on site, but fair prices for amazing food and very good sized portions. My husband had the Lamb T-Bone and I had the Beef Tenderloin. The flavors on the plates were incredible and beautifully plated (but we couldnât help ourselves and started eating before we realized we needed pictures!) We shared the seafood soup which had a heavenly broth and a large assortment of different seafoods! We had a glass of red and a glass of white wines and they had many different wines to choose from. The chocolate bomb was so fun and very yummy.The servers take great pride in their food and will return anything you donât like (which wasnât a problem for us, but itâs always nice to know how much they care about your experience.) They truly want you to have the best possible experience, and we did!Thanks for your review

we were on holiday in costa rica recently and i wanted to find somewhere nice to take my new wife for her birthday, after a search on trip advisor i found Che Sirloin, what a lovely place this is, i booked our table for the evening of 28th june through facebook. All so easy, when we got there we immediatly felt comfortable and welcomed. There is a really nice ambience to the place, we chose an outside table. we had a really great steak dinner with drinks and it all came to just over $50, brilliant. The owners even messaged me the next day thanking us for our patronage and generous tip. we had hoped to go back before we flew back to London, but things didn,t pan out, if you are in coco beach definatly give Che Sirloin a look, you will not be sorry.Than you for your kindness Guy. We were honored to host you and your wife on you special day and graetfull to have met your expectations. Till your next visit to Paradise.BestChe Sirloin Team

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

We ate here several times on our last visit to Coco. We were happy to find it open during October when other restaurants are closed. The protein bowl was a nice start to the day. My friends had a pulled pork sandwich which also had rave reviews. My second visit, I had the portabello sandwich, which was chopped portabello deep fried. Yum. They were testing out their new fish sandwich. My friends tried it and found it was also delicious. Their Sangria is unique in that it has some cloves added. We will definitely be back.

Nice place on the beach. Portion sizes are huge. I tried the lobster & filet (which was excellent). The mixed tropical drinks are just average. Prices and menu are typical for the area.
