Ate here on our last night and I wish we would of eaten there all week. Ana and her husband are great peeps, talk to them about fishing they love it. This place is off the main road to Manuel Antonio but it's a hidden gem. Order the BBQ whole fish.

We had a delicious dinner here per the advice of someone at our hotel reception. My husband and I ordered the arroz con pollo with imperial lights to wash it all down. Off the main road, open air, typical soda - exactly what we were looking for. Spent under $50 for the two of us. Will be back!

My husband and son were able to go fishing with the owner who then took their catch to the restaurant, cooked in a traditional Costa Rican way and served us for dinner. Was fantastic!!

The staff at the Plaza Yara hotel recommended El Arado and we were not disappointed. it is just an open sided restaurant serving good quality local food at a great price. We had prawns in garlic butter and the Saltin (fish dish) and they were both excellent. It is a bit difficult to find as it is not signed from... More

This place is right next to Hotel Villa Teca and has excellent food! I ate there everyday that I was in Manuel Antonio. The couple that own the restaurant are very sweet people and the wife who cooks most of the food is aware of gluten allergies and Celiacs. She mentioned that she has removed flour from her sauces.
