The guy that owns and runs it is amazing, super helpful, even gave us a sample of a couple local beers so we could decide on what to get. We got 4 empanadas, I had two vegan ones and my buddy had the 2 special ones. All of them were amazing and we really enjoyed the local beer as well. We ordered a side of fries and they were very tasty proper fries, which is a little harder to find in Costa Rica. When he delivered our food he gave us some great sauces and explained them well. All were good and none were too spicy. It's in the back of a plaza so it's a little hard to find, but the walk to find it is definitely worth it.
Tucked away in the shopping area but definitely worth a visit. Burgers were delicious and really enjoyed all the side sauces for dipping our fries and onion rings. We will definitely try and go back before our vacation ends. Really pleased with the service as well. Very tasty!
The empanadas are a must! I ordered a ground beef and a chicken one, both equally delicious. They’re served with two sauces, chimichurri and a chipotle sauce which has a nice light kick to it. My husband ordered the Mexican burger and it was also delicious. They offer you a variety of sauces for that, the chipotle mayo is definitely a hit. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a good quick bite!
