I'm not sure why this place isn't ranked higher in TA, because the food here was delicious! The coconut shrimp is to die for. They also had a prime location on the beach with some great views of the bay, highly recommend!

The food was good and the service was good. I had breaded coconut fish, it was good and my husband had a whole fish which he also enjoyed. This restaurant is right on the beach, has a great view, and there were many people eating there when we were there.

Went on a Monday with my wife. Both of us ordered fish. My wife the fried tilapia and i had fish fillet with the white sauce. Both were bad. Mine was overcooked, tough and tasteless. The tilapia was a little better, but not by much. When we received the bill it included 2 extra drinks we had not ordered. The... More

The restaurant is located right at the beach and it is a good eating option in San Juan. Service was good as well as the food. We had a soup with seafood which was delicious and pasta with shrimps, which could have had a few more shrimps on the plate. All in all a regular place but compared to some... More

It's a lot like the other restaurants on the same strip, but the food was good. As is with most places in San Juan del Sur, the service is slow and the food is even slower. But it's a good deal, good food, and great location.

I ordered the lobster and shrimps plate, and I got 2 cubic centimeters of lobster, 3 shrimps and an handful of rice and potatoes. With two glass of wine, the bill was 18 Us dollars, which is far higher than the prices in the menu and anyway outrageous. I had to go to have another dinner somewhere else, because I... More

We have been going to Josseline's for over 10 years, and its always delicious. They have many menu items that are hard to find at other beachside restaurants - lobster ceviche and grilled octopus are a couple examples. The location is convenient and there a plenty of beachside tables; the toys for children are a nice way to pass time... More

Well, it it not a 5 star restaurant, but value (and service) definitely put it in the top of the beach restaurants in San Juan del Sur. We had lunch there, with perfect service, taste and meals - so we actually decided to go for dinner as well - and got the same great service - and great taste, this... More

We've been here on many occasions and are never disappointed. It is right on the beach, so it's cool and of course, has a great view. It's never really busy; a lot of gringos prefer to go to the more gringo-oriented places down the street. If you want to experience the more authentic Nicaragua, this is where you want to... More

We went here when the town had a power outage, and they had a generator; so they were open. Very good service and a nice dinner right in front of the beach. The rice with seafood was excellent, and the beers were icey cold. Looks like their wifi was up and running, as others were online with computers. I would... More
