El Pelicano

Reviewed By terrymh - Toronto, Canada

We had a few lunches here during our long stay in the area on the recommendation of our accommodation owner. The food is really good. We mostly had the fish which was very fresh and the meals were all delicious. As we were with various friends there were too many meals to detail here. The service was excellent and the view of the beach made a lovely setting. Would totally recommend

The Ambiance, Gardens, great food, Breathing Taking Views and a sunset that left you breathless all made for the perfect evening. Our meal was delicious and plentiful. The staff were lovely and friendly and it is all run by our incredible hosts David and Cindy . They are really special people and we all enjoyed our evening with them. They are friendly , warm, engaging , funny and gracious. Not to sound corny but it was magical, crazy , fun, perfect evening. Its worth every penny .

Reviewed By TwoWas - Indianapolis, Indiana

We went here after catching a LOT of fish. This actually wasn’t our first choice, but another restaurant that prepares your fish could not seat us because it was closed for a private event.
We were so pleased, however, that bamboo sushi could accommodate all 11 us.
The food was simply amazing. They made an enormous sushi platter with some of the fish that we caught, teriyaki and veggies, as well as fried rice. It all tasted so good!
The service was great as was the atmosphere.
Highly recommend!

This relaxing venue offers a pleasant combination of the old American classics like fish n' chips and global comfort food, including homemade breads, desserts and sauces. The Hook Up is a laid-back environment where you can enjoy a mix of classic rock and Latin pop tunes played over our state-of-the-art stereo system. Major sporting events are displayed on seven televisions located throughout the restaurant, with the most important matches projected onto the video-wall over the bar.

The Hook Up in Los Suenos is a great place for lunch. It's second floor open air setting overlooking the Marina and open ocean is spectacular. The food and service is very good and reasonbly priced. I did get one bad meal (super tough steak Sandwich, it was well prepared but the cut of meat was uneditable) but the waitress took it back no problem and I ordered a shrimp skewer that was excellent. They ever comped us a cocktail.I t was the first time I had a bad meal there in dozens of visits and was handled very well by the restaurant. Very recommended.

Fiesta del Mariscos

Reviewed By MGG56 - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

This restaurant was fairly close to where we were staying and we ended up having dinner here twice. The restaurant is located close to the highway and right on the beach, which made for a nice setting.
For our meals we had some nicely grilled fish, a seafood rice dish, fried fish fillets and fried calamari, all very good. I especially liked the seafood rice with shrimp and octopus, it was a large plate of food, enough for two people.
After dinner we walked down to the beach to watch the sunset, a nice way to end our dining experience.

Cafe Bohio

Micro Coffee Roasters

Reviewed By chafraho - Sallisaw, OK

Lots of good coffee drinks available, made to order. The plain old cuppa black coffee is amazingly excellent. while I don't go in for the other coffee's, Suzanne tells me they are very good as well. Reasonable selection of coffees for sale in the back, bagged either ground or whole beans. Might be a bit pricey compared to some places inland, but still not bad for Jaco.
