Best Latin restaurants nearby. Discover the best Latin food in Montezuma. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for Latin restaurants near you.. North of Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Preserve and south of Tambor Bay, along a forested sandy bay, Montezuma has numerous beaches, waterfalls, good fishing, seafood, surfing, snorkeling, horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling. Playa Las Manchas is popular for snorkeling, though you need to be mindful of riptides as you gaze at the parrotfish, rays, puffers, and needlefish. The kids will like exploring the colorful rocks and tide pools at Playa Rocas. Beachfront cantinas, bars, and restaurants are plentiful in Montezuma. Playa de los Artistas on the Montezuma beachfront serves sushi, pizza, and vegetarian dishes by lantern light at driftwood tables on smooth sand floors beneath bamboo lattice ceilings. Playa Montezuma hosts the fishing fleet. Hike half an hour to the endless sands of Playa Grande to swim, surf, boogie board, or sunbathe nude where the waves are big and the currents less strong. Horseback ride, bike, or hike the beachfront path north towards Playa Cocolito, where El Chorro waterfall tumbles into the rocky ocean. Follow the river upstream from the beach to find more waterfalls for swimming. Playa Los Cedros, a small scenic beach flanked by a waterfall and large banyan tree near Cabuya, has a right-handed point break favored by experienced surfers when the south swells get going good. The beaches and tropical forests at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Preserve are protected as a national park. Surf at nearby Mal Pais, Playa Santa Teresa, or Playa Carmen. Surf camps can teach you the basics.

When you are at the beach you know your choices will be limited and the prices a bit higher than in the city. Same here, but....I really enjoyed the food here, breakfast was good, lunch and dinner likewise. One of the least expensive options, with typical, well cooked food. We were here for 6 days and ate here regularly.

This place is an absolute gem. I had the tropical ceviche with mahi mahi. Every culinary element covered. The sweet from the mango and passion fruit, the sour from the lime, the crunch from the peppers and onions, the spicy from the ginger and jalapeno. The owner was running the show and was incredibly friendly and hospitable.You simply won't find a tastier and refreshing meal after an afternoon on the beach.Thank you for your kind words my friend it was a pleasure to have you in for a bite. Hope to see you again soon!

Serves typical Costa Rican food such as casados, gallo pinto and much more. Fresh seafood on the grill, daily specials along with a variety of other foods to satisfy any taste.

We had a great dish of clams that was in a delicious sauce. The fajitas were extremely tasty and with very generous amounts of prawns. They served wine too at a reasonable price - not always the case in Montezuma.

Weâve eaten here several times for many years and had good food. Unfortunately, this year the restaurant has gone way downhill. The toilet and bathroom tap were broken so there was no lavatory available on premises. The only wash sink available had no soap/towels available. Midway through our lunch the cook came out to brush her teeth at the sink. The waitress then used the same sink to wet a broom to wash the floor. The food was extremely basic and devoid of flavour. And there was one scratchy CD played over and over at high volume. Also, cafe is currently receiving a few white faced capuchin visitors which is quite normal for the area but they occasionally jump down the trees to nick stuff off the tables. Families with small children might need to keep an eye on little ones. Shame to see this place has gotten so bad as the cafe is one of the few places in town with a beach breeze and food used to be quite tasty traditional Tico.

If youâre ever close or even an hour away, go! Donât even think about the word maybe.... just run and grab a table, watch the butterflies, have an Azul craft beer and eat. We tried about everything and the ohs and ahs at the table were everywhere. From great fish to carnitas on plantains to the piping hot chips it was all perfect.View to die for and if itâs possible, better service. Before or after take the little train to the Montezuma waterfalls and jump. This is what a vacation should be!!!! Thank you all, oh and see you tomorrow!!!!

I went due to positive reviews on tripadvisor & wasnât disappointed. We had pineapple & mint juices which were lovely, chicken & shrimp rice & 2 glasses of wine. The food was fresh & tastes great. At the end of the night, as 2 females we were worried about walking back into town in the dark as they couldnât get us a taxi. Our waiter was so kind and walked us home when he finished his shift. What a lovely place!
