After a couple of hours walking around Atenas on a little shopping trip, I stopped by El Mejor Clima, a local "Soda" restaurant and bar with a good reputation. For $5 I got a Casado (plate lunch) with more food than I could eat, including, chicken, beans, rice, cassava (called yucca here), salad with tomatoes, avocado slice and peppers. I got it in a to go box and walked home with all my bags to eat in my apartment. Nice!

We had dinner with the family in this restaurant of the hotel Colinas del Sol. Service was friendly and we ate some local dishes served in large portions. As a appetizer we got a cream soup. The restaurant has 6-7 tables with a view on the trees in the garden. Thanks for your opinion, sorry for not answering before. Hope we will welcome you again.

1. Great food! Specials of the day rotate among beautifully cooked and presented typical Costa Rican dishes using local ingredients that you may not encounter elsewhere. From a culinary standpoint, these meals are perfection.2. Charming location in a little breezeway, lined and canopied with plants. This is a cool little oasis where it is a pleasure to sit and enjoy a meal.3. Each meal includes a glass of fresh tropical juice as well as a satisfying little bite of dessert.4. Wonderful owner and staff. You will soon feel at home here.5. Serves breakfast, lunch and a late day meal if you arrive in time. Warning: the specials are so great that they go fast. 6. Only one of two locations in town to purchase specialty, locally handcrafted ice cream bars in wonderful and unusual flavors.7. Even the coffee is individually made by the cup with excellent locally grown beans.

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here. Greeted like we were old friends even though this was our first time here.The open air restaurant was great with a nice breeze blowing through after a hot day. Had a nice cold Bavaria while figuring what to order.My wife ordered the Filet and I had the Ribeye. Within 15 minutes we had perfectly cooked steaks with baked potato and a light salad.They were cooked just below medium and had a great flavor. My ribeye was huge and could only get through just over half of it. My wife's Filet was a good size as well and some went home with us as well.The check for the two of us was just over $40.00 and considering what we got I feel it was a great deal.Want to make it back for the ribs before we leave.

We visited the Mirador as a recommendation from an acquaintance. Her food choices and the reviews I read before going were right on the nose. We were a party of four celebrating my 49th wedding anniversary. Our party chose Shrimp in Buttery Sauce and a Fish plate and a combination of shrimp and fish in white sauce. Of course we all had to taste every dish! Each dish was delightfully seasoned and cooked to perfection. The restaurant was empty except for a couple of folks at the bar, but I am told it is seasonal. I am just glad it was open for us to experience one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The whole experience was superb. Great night light views of the city. Very clean restaurant. I will go back if possible. I strongly suggestion you call a taxi, it is difficult to find if you are not familiar with the area and a portion of the street has big pot holes.

Delicious traditional Costa Rican food, as well as Mexican dishes and Italian pastas.
Reviewed By PureLifeDevelopment
This little restaurant is a place that if you were just driving past it, you may actually pass it without even realizing it is there. If you did, that would be a big mistake. What amazing food! My favorite thing, hands down, is the shrimp crepe with asparagus sauce. Light, delicate, with a flavor that you won't soon forget. I have heard tell that their dessert crepes are amazing too, but I have always been to full after my meal to try one....Next time.

Please write your review under Cafeteria Antanos. The new owner is a "real chef" with a considerable amount of experience. They have very good food and service. They prices are also very reasonable. My wife and I had a very nice dinner with a craft beer for less than $30. Highly recommend this new restaurant.
