My new favorite lunch spot in Jaco! - Edit
This is def one of my favorite vegan spots in Costa Rica and I've lived here since 2007. Thank you for serving myself and my non-vegan friend some of the most satisfying food! He had the fried tofu sandwich with french fries and I had the Mexi burger with the salad. We started with the buffalo cauliflower. ALL WAS DELICIOUS! So much so that I'm still thinking about that meal days after! If I lived closer, I'd eat there all the time! It will be my spot every time I have to pass through Jaco.

Pura verde vida!

This place is not only adorable, but also insanely delicious. It’s a fun perch above the city and the food is so so good. We had the fried tofu sandwich, the Buffalo cauliflower… the breading is the best I’ve ever had. Also, best piña colada ever — so fresh! We had an amazing meal and it was super affordable. Go enjoy!!

Amazing place with good food - Edit
The place is super nice and the balcony gives you great company of many singing birds. The food was good. I had the garlic bread, which was really good, and the carbonara. The carbonara was OK but missing some spices and I wouldn't necessarily call it carbonara. The cookie for dessert was really, really good and the homemade lemonade was tasty. The whole concept is awesome and the staff super friendly.

Amazing Tofu! - Edit
The food was so tasty! I had the Buddha Bowl with extra tofu which was incredibly tasty. Not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best vegan food in Costa Rica. Good work and keep it vegan.

Vegan in Jaco - Edit
The place is super cute, I sat outside in the balcony area. The staff was beyond welcoming and helpful. I ordered a strawberry milkshake, Mac n cheese and their BBQ burger. Here is were things need improvement, the milkshake tasted like a very bland smoothie, their Mac was okay (if you love nooch this is for you) and the dish I was excited about which was the burger, disappointed me a bit, the flavor was there but the faux bbq was very salty, the sauce that came with it helped blend the flavors. Overall it was a nice experience and these are things that can be easily worked on.

Best food we had in Costa Rica - Edit
After eating lots of rice and beans for 2 months (not complaining) we were excited to have some western food. The Mac and cheese was Our favorite- definitely order that. The cauliflower wi ga were breaded and fried to perfection- plus great ranch dipping sauce. We also had a salad bowl and sandwich. Everything was great, wish we could have tried more!

Servicio nefasto - Edit
No tenían la mitad de los platos que quería probar. Hice un pedido para llevar y me aseguraron que tardarían 25m, despues de una 1 hora me fuí (les advertí que tenía prisa) sin haber visto los platos y habiendo escuchado continuas quejas desde la cocina.
