We came here for the review and was quite disappointed. The service was good but the food was average at best. The fried snapper was over cooked, the guacamole and chips (okay), the fish ceviche (Bla) and tuna tar tar (good). All in all, it was great to be eating in the air conditioned dining room during the hot day! We learned the chef has changed in the last 6 months, so that maybe the problem? Not exactly sure. But we ventured out a few steps down the block and tried Mar y Mar the following day. Marco & Maria holds their own with their family owned restaurant.

Porky's Burger Bar - Jaco

Reviewed By 513DenisB

Came for their special. Ribs were tender but still with some toothiness (critical to a southern rib critic). The sides were simple but never took away from the star -the ribs. Wines by the two half bottles just right, and from Argentina and Chile were perfect balance to the spicy flavor of ribs. There were enough ribs left for several meals, which is a huge bonus to me.

Green Room

We are a laid back casual artisan restaurant in the heart of Jaco Beach. We serve upscale comfort, and gourmet food without all the fuss of fine dining. We work with several organic farms, and artisan food producers in our area and throughout the country.

Reviewed By GringoJeff

One of my favorite restaurant's in Costa Rica's Central Pacific area of downtown Jaco Beach, the Green Room has always offered incredible specials for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. ONe of the best offers is their special 3 slider offer with 3 beer samples on Mondays for $10.50 tax included! It is a joy to behold when your waitperson brings it to your table, and your choices are endless. Highly recommended for their food, ambiance, live and music, and super cool vibes. Great prices on everything, including their large draft beer selection.

Los Mahi Tacos de Cholo

Delicious fish tacos.

Reviewed By hermosabeach1

My wife and I have been traveling to Jaco for over 15 years surfing and spending summers there when we aren't teaching school in the states. Bryan and his brother Diego opened this little taco joint last year and there is nothing like it in Jaco. The Mahi Tacos are AMAZING! One taco is HUGE so bring your appetite! Their place is located off the main highway near opposite side of the south entrance to Jaco so it’s not in the hustle and bustle of town which is nice. They have several homemade sauces that are unbelievably good! In addition, they serve a small bowl of fried plantains cook like nothing we’ve ever tasted in Costa Rica! Muy bueño! We can’t wait to return next June and visit for the best tacos in the country!Hey Pura vida! Thanks so much! See you next time bro!

The Coffee Shop

The Coffee Shop is the best place in Jaco Beach to get a home cooked breakfast. Open everyday of the week starting at 7:00am . Free WIFI, fresh baked bread and cinnamon rolls

Reviewed By the_muckster_316

Homemade everything and excellent. The local coffee was very good. My boys were almost crying with enjoyment from their cinnamon rolls they had for breakfast. And my wife and I kept it simple but delicious. We went here twice in the 6 days we were in town. Actually, we tried to go a 3rd time, but they weren't open yet. So we went to a competitor and that was great too. Separate review! But if we're ever back in Jaco, we'll be back at The Coffee Shop guaranteed!

Reviewed By Netakessler

I am a real burger lover and always try to find great burgers everywhere i go. I saw this place and read some good reviews so i knew i had to give it a try. The menu looked great with a lot of options but the burger i had was just ok and the bun was especially terrible, it was too dry and fell apart after 2 bites. The price is very high and it doesn't even come with fries, i really think it wasn't worth it and i dont recommend it at all. It seemed to me that they really try to make food that would look good on Instagram instead of good quality burgers which is a shame. 80% of our Burgers are priced between $7 and $14 which is NOT expensive, it is about the same price as the Carls Jr Hamburger Chain or other restaurants in Jaco. Here are some FACTS for you.... We offer the Biggest Burger in Costa Rica, the Hottest Burger in Costa Rica, the Most Expensive Burger in Costa Rica, the Tallest Burger in Costa Rica, the Most Exotic Burger in Costa Rica and the Meatiest Burger in Costa Rica and one of the Largest Burger Ranges in Costa Rica with over 37 Different Burgers on our Menu. Our meat is fresh 100% Prime Beef supplied directly from a farm that raises grass fed animals, our fish was swimming on the ocean yesterday, our Buns are custom baked Artisan buns with potato and butter to our own recipe that we bake fresh every day in the restaurant, the cheese is delivered fresh from a farmer who hand makes it 15 km away, the salads and vegetables are delivered fresh every day and are of the highest quality. The sauces are handmade fresh every day using natural ingredients by our chefs. Our business has been Rated #1 in Costa Rica by customers, food experts, chefs and international food critics because we really care about the quality of the food we serve and the service experience of every customer. We have also featured on Costa Rica TV multiple times and in the media with very positive reviews. We could have saved you a few dollars on your burger if we used low grade frozen meat, second grade vegetables, factory mass produced dry buns, artificial cheese made in a machine, and plastic bottled sauces filled with preservatives but our customers prefer quality and freshness over price and as a business we won’t compromise on the excellent first rate ingredients we use because we believe our clients deserve the very best. If for any reason your not 100% happy with anything on our menu, just advise our staff and we will change it or remake you a new one at no charge.

Laid back atmosphere. Yummy Cinnamon buns and pinto. Great place to chill after an adventure. We stopped here after hiking a mountain train which comes out very close to this outdoor restaurant.
