One of the best meals in Tamarindo

The food was outstanding. The service was great. The wait staff did a nice job, and we had several of them check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is clean. So good I think we are going back for...a second night in a row!More

Favorite Restaurant in Tamarindo

Falafel bar is the best quality and quantity of food in Tama! I frequently come to this place and every time the food and the service are outstanding. Everything is so fresh and delicious. The mahi mahi is my favorite!! Also, must try the chocolate...truffle balls for dessert. This is a must try on your visit or in your life in Tamarindo :))More

Great cozy spot with quality food

Had a chicken Shawarma sandwich and falafel with hummus. It was great! Added some jalapeño sauce to the hummus for some extra kick. Very fresh and tasty.

Falafel Plate

Really enjoyed the falafel plate and then the hummus. The atmosphere is very cute. The only downside was that our server was not very present and thus struggled to get refills of water (needed in this heat) and our bill.
