I have never considered hamburgers as "gourmet" food but in Hamburguesia they put a special care in the ingredients and in the service so that... well you will be satisfied. I took hamburger with chicken breast meat and blue chese (my own creation) and it was delicious! Their French fries are also good! The restaurant also provides some vegetarian options! Dogs are welcome!

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.

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.

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.

We're from Asheville, land of craft breweries so when we picked Jaco, my husband began the web searches for craft breweries there. We were not disappointed with Puddlefish. The beers were excellent. Our fav was the watermelon but they were all good. Brunch was excellent. We had the waffles and burritos. Bottomless mimosas were a great touch to our sunday morning too. They kept our glasses full and stopped even adding oj at some point which we thought was great. The staff was top notch and we will definitely be back. Hey Courtney, It was great to have you here and thank you for sharing your experience with us! We appreciate your kind words "The beers were excellent. Our fav was the watermelon". We love the Watermelon Wheat as well and hope to have you back again soon! Gracias, The PuddleFish Crew

Stopped in at Mono Verde for dinner. I sat at the bar, the bartender recommended the Mojito and it was one of the best I have had. The ceviche mix was fresh and tasty, watch outfit the hot sauce it has a kick. The bartender told me one of the specials was whole fried red snapper, again another tasty dish. Great experience, I would consider it a little pricey, but it is a vacation after all.

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 wonât 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.

The best craft beer of Coast Rica! International beers, cozy environment, table games, hoppy hour from 5pm to 7 pm and good music!
Reviewed By Gordglap
To be honest, we were hesitant about entering another brewery/beer establishment because our experiences with other breweries were subpar. But after agreeing that we just aren't club people, as we stood in a club, we decided to try Beer House out. It was a GREAT decision. Daniel was extremely friendly and the other patrons were too. We talked about our other not so stellar experiences and how we didnt have high hopes for this location. Daniel's selection got me excited about trying a couple other locations before we leave. The options were selected with care and a good palette... It shows. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by. It's a great escape from the Jaco hustle and bustle. The vibe was cozy and the pizza place brought the pizza to us. He took care of all our needs. Thanks for your positive review, I really appreciate it. I'm really glad you found this little pub because it was a pleasure serving you and chatting with you both. Take care,
