Absolute 5 Stars - Edit
I think HappyCow should change the 5 star rating only for vegan restaurants. This place was absolutely remarkable with clearly labeled vegan items on the menu. I’m a huge fan of falafel and this May be some of the best I’ve ever had (haven’t been to the Middle East yet). The salad bar really makes this place great. You can load your plate up with tons of veggies and sauces and it really makes a difference. All in all, I would give 5 stars if possible.

Delicious and colourful falafel platter - Edit
Street food with seating (order inside). Delicious falafel and hummus. We all had the falafel platter (which is vegan), and a mango banana smoothies. The location is very well arranged and offers a lot of cool Instagramable opportunities.

Excellent falafel - Edit
At this restaurant you order a falafel plate or falafel sandwich and then go to the toppings bar to load it up with goodness. Really good food and reasonable prices. Good for vegetarians and vegans. They also handled shellfish allergy well

Best Food We Had In Manuel Antonio - Edit
They do serve meat, but the Falafel pita sandwich was so delicious and exactly what was needed after a full day in the park! The salad bar is available for you to stuff your pita exactly the way you want, which I loved! And the Tahini is made in house! The French fries were more like chips which were delicious, but I was really craving fries.

Great falafel - Edit
This is really good falafel, on the absolute scale, let alone compared to the average falafel you’re likely to find in Costa Rica. The home-ground tahini is a lovely bonus.

Amazing salad bar! - Edit
The falafel and hummus are good but the fries and salad bar are excellent! The pitas and platters are left with plenty of room to add salad, pickled veggies, spicy veggies, carrot salad, etc. Super yummy!!!
Read morePros: Great vegan salad bar. Menu clearly marked.

Overrated - Edit
We tried the falafel plate(10$) and the falafel pita (6$), both were okay. The salat bar is really nice and the selfmade tahini as well as the falafel taste good. The pita is very small though, so that you almost can't fill it with any salat. The fries tasted of old fat and the hummus was unfortunately mostly tahini. In general you don't get a lot of food for the price.
Read morePros: Good falafel , Good salat , Good tahini
Cons: Expensive, Old weird fries , Small portions

Best falafel ever - Edit
My husband and I ordered the falafel plate. As well as tasty falafels, hummus and thin cut potato fries you get to pile on the fresh veggies and tahini dressing from their self serve salad bar! Good service, clean and comfortable dining experience and only $10 including tax!

Best falafels ever! - Edit
This was my favourite falafel place yet! The falafels were perfect with a good punch of garlic and really nice texture! I packed my falafel pita sandwich with as much veggies from the salad bar as possible and it was a very filling meal! I also had a guabana and papaya smoothie and it was super refreshing so I highly recommend it!

Very Yummy Food - Edit
There’s really just a couple things for Vegans here, those things being falafel-based, but they’re really great! There’s also lots of sides that you can load your plate with!

Fantastic falafel! - Edit
This place is awesome! I’ve eaten here two years/two trips in a row and it doesn’t disappoint. One of the exciting parts of returning to Quepos was getting to eat here again. Last week, I ate here for dinner and then for lunch the next day. It’s that good! The falafel plate is delicious and sooo much food. Falafel here is as it should be: moist and savory; not dry and crumbly. The salad/toppings bar (which comes with the plate) is all vegan and delicious — it’s nice that you get to serve yourself so you can take what you need. This year they also had some smoothie popsicles that are vegan. The service is fast and friendly. This place is not to be missed!

good - Edit
My partner liked his falafel plate. I had their smoothies. Sadly they only use minimal fruit and use syrups and sugar. I was told by their staff that most places inCR do that. Shame.

NOT VEGETARIAN ! - Edit
Warning ! the falafels are cooked in the same oil than the chicken, and they don't want to serve pita & houmous without falafel, so there is nothing vegetarian. Please delete this address !!
