Delicious - Edit
Fantastic find in La Fortuna, went twice! Has a whole page of plant based dishes to choose from. Had the nachos and the teriyaki tofu skewers, both were delicious. Only downside was the cocktails were not the best, so I'd recommend avoiding these.

Great healthy option cafe in town center - Edit
Over the years Origanico Fortuna just gets better. More seating than ever and a full two section clearly marked vegan menu with both American style, Tico and other healthy dishes to try. Pricing is slightly more than other places.
Read moreAlso offers nice vegan breakfast options like pancakes. We love the tacos, vegan fish burrito and vegan quinoa burger.

Brilliant meal, well presented, super friendly efficient staff and well priced. - Edit
This restaurant has a great vegan menu with amazing salads and a nachos loaded with salad ingredients! Loved it all. We enjoyed their icecream and other desserts. They are open from 9 offering breakfast and a lunch/dinner menu. The atmosphere is bright and airy and every dish was presented in a very pretty manner. Highly recommend it!! We were so happy to find such a delightful vegan restaurant in the middle of Costa Rica!

Great spot for vegans - Edit
The food was good. I thought my tacos needed some more spice. We also ordered two other dishes that my husband enjoyed.

Good food but more attention washing vegetables - Edit
We had a good meal but the restaurant needs more attention washing the vegetables. We found some spider webs on our kale. Apart from that, the lentils curry was tasty and the natural juices were also good

Lovely food - Edit
We had dinner here twice and both times the food was amazing, lovely decorated and the staff was very friendly! Yes it is pricey but this is a touristic area. The variety of smoothies and vegan dishes is great and everyone from our group absolutely enjoyed their meals. I can especially recommend the spicy quesadilla and chocobanano (smoothie)

Good enough - Edit
I came here with my family. The service was ok. We had vegan burgers- nothing special I would say, average. But the potatoes which were served with the burgers were very tasty. Ceremonial cacao cought my heart- I loved it!

Tasty but expensive with bad service thrown in... - Edit
The food we had was really tasty, came out in good time - but really very expensive (in our opinion) for what we had - 2 mains 2 drinks $63...
Read moreThe vegan tax is high here.
But the really sad part is the bad service from the staff - disinterested and rude.
Also we had to wait a long time for requested dessert menu, we then deliberate on which dessert we would like, only to be told that the one we want is not availble and then 5 others that also were not availble... you think they could of told us this up front and save all a waste of time.
Disappointed we chose to pay and leave.
Might return, as the food was very very good... but probably unlikely due to the above issues.
Its important to support more vegan options, but the bad service really drops the ball here, the management need to sort it out asap.
Pros: Tasty food , Lots to choose from, Easy parking
Cons: Expensive, Terrible service, Lack of upfront info about what is/isn't available

Super Disappointed - Edit
We came in for lunch and wish we would've went to another place. The service was very slow to begin despite there being 3 servers and only 3 other tables. We ordered drinks and an appetizer which took a while but we waited. During this wait time we put in our meal order, too. We got our first stuff and figured it wouldn't be too long until our meals came. We waited almost an hour and nothing. Nobody came by to check on us or anything. Other tables came in after us got their meals and left. We finally got someone's attention and asked where our food was. They were lost. The server went looking and talked to the cooks. She spoke loudly in Spanish and obviously didn't realize we also spoke Spanish (had spoke English the whole time) and she was arguing with the cooks and they didn't make our order and she didn't pay attention to her customer so they both messed up. She came back and told us there was an issue with the vegetables for the tacos, big lie. She said they were making our order now and are very fast. 45 more minutes go by and we get our Quesadilla and Tacos. Literally all we ordered and took almost 2 hours. The whole staff could tell how upset we were and did nothing. The food wasn't even good either. The vegetables that apparently had been a problem were gross and soooooo salty I could barely eat it. If I wasn't so darn hungry I wouldn't have ate them. After 2 hours and being lied to they didn't even offer us a discount or just to take one of our drinks off for the mess. I couldn't believe the horrible experience. Would never ever go back or recommend this to anyone. There are WAY better places in LA Fotuna. Plus, way cheaper!

Non genuine experience - Edit
The owner should engage polite and respectful personal. I entered the place, asked for a menu in spanish with prices in colones. The guy in charge answered : "Only english here". I said that it was a pity. After that, the guy became completely crazy and disrespectful. I have a wonderful experience by traveling in Costa Rica. Ticos are wonderful people. But this veggie restaurant probably owns the only exception to the wonderful mindset of Pura Vida. #Veganuary

GF Banana Pancakes!!! - Edit
We ate here almost every day we were in La Fortuna! I loved the banana pancakes (vegan & gluten free & yummy!) and the chocobanano smoothie. My hubby really enjoyed the tico burrito. We didn't explore all the options on the menu because we loved our pancakes and burrito so much.

The best food I had in CR - Edit
Although everything isn’t vegan, the vegan menu is expansive and delicious. The restaurant is also pretty and has a little shop with clothes and food items. It’s pricier than other cafes in the area, but worth the healthy ingredients.

$47 for 2 coffees, 2 milkshakes and a juice - Edit
I’d give it a skip. We had 2 iced coffees and 2 milkshakes. We missed the line in the menu about the $8 milkshake / $6 coffee being plus 13%tax and 10% service charge. Costa Rica isn’t cheap but this was absurd.

Fresh, delicious! - Edit
Half of the menu is vegan! The food and smoothies are absolutely delicious. We came back two days in a row! They have a shop in the back- boutique style and sell an array of whole/health food and supplements up front. The staff are very friendly. Indoor open air seating with lots of plants. I recommend the chocobanana smoothie and the garden salad . My partner got the falafel and loved it and the bread is fresh

Mixed experience - Edit
Partly great and partly mediocre. We liked the vibe but the food was inconsistent. The tico burrito was just fantastic. I would eat it every day if I could. But the avocado toast was horrible—it was untoasted bland multigrain bread with a watery tasteless avocado sauce on top. Extremely disappointing. We had several iced coffee drinks which were okay but nothing special.

Delicious and refreshing change - Edit
We have been in Costa Rica for 3 weeks, and while we love traditional food, we were desperate for a change. The food here is freshly sourced and delicious. Great plant based options on the menu, and many are gluten free.

Bit bland but big menu - Edit
We are here twice, sure it’s a novelty to find such a variety of fresh vegan food in Costa Rica but to be honest we found the food overpriced and bland in flavour. $10 for a smoothie that is majority ice&water. I thought I’d give it a go for a second time thinking I’d just ordered badly, but disappointed 2nd time too.
