The food was ok. The seasoning was pretty good on the chicken, but I nearly choked on a bone in the tacos. I was thankful to be able to find the bone before swallowing, but the restaurant did not even acknowledge they made a mistake. I understand that sometimes things happen, but when you are charging higher prices for chicken... More

Good drinks and food here. The service (Tomas was our server) was perfect. Sunset was beautiful. Had a ginger tamarind martini. Even thou it is on the beach, it would have been better if we hadn't had to fight off the flies to eat our dinner. Other than that, great eats.

What an amazing little spot in Santa Teresa!! Food, drinks, view and people were amazing. A very relaxing spot and even better spot to catch the sunset. Owners are hands on and make the spot a very inviting atmosphere. Already miss it! Ask for Adele and tell her that her North Carolina friends said hello!

The gourmet margaritas are great! I had a Tamarindo-ginger margarita. Fresh shrimp and fish are excellent. The beer-lime-margarita marinated chicken bbq tacos are the best!

Habaneros is one of my favorite places by far in the area. The location is truly spectacular, with the best beachfront location of any restaurant. The food is amazing. I'm a big fan of Mexican food and this is the best I've had, by far, in Costa Rica. When I checked the reviews here on Trip Advisor, I had expected... More

This restaurant is set on the beach. It's pretty laid back and casual (like most in Santa Teresa). The food is okay, but nothing extraordinary, and definitely more expensive then what you can find at nearby restaurants. The redeeming quality is the location. It is worth a trip if you have multiple nights to experience what Santa Teresa has to... More
