Restaurant
Surf Shack Burgers & Wings is a casual dining spot that takes pride in handcrafting its burger patties, offering options like the Blue Ribbon Blue Cheese Burger with blue cheese, bacon, sauteed onions, and garlic. They also provide the flexibility to substitute chicken breast or fish for any burger. In addition to burgers, they serve chicken wings, tacos, salads, hotdogs, and various appetizers.
We went to Surf shack for burgers from the beach. The vibe is really cool, with a million surf boards for decor. The service was also good. The burgers were great, they went stacked up so it’s not the easiest to eat. The best burgers are the sloppy ones anyway. The prices are very reasonable as well. Can definitely recommend!

Beach side burger spot with character! We appreciated the open air ambiance just off of the beach. Service was friendly and prompt even while they served a very large group of unexpected guests.

I make a point of stopping in here every time I come to Tamarindo. I love the chill atmosphere! Every server has always been very friendly. Our server tonight and last night was Merci, not sure if I got her name right, super nice! Best burger and onion rings in town! Especially the onion rings! The coating is so crispy, they just hit the spot! I do usually have to salt them, but otherwise some of the best I’ve had. Prices are super reasonable!

We’ve had a lot of good in Costa Rica but for me this one was the very best. All of the other meals have kinda blended together in my memory but this one stands out! Seated facing the ocean with amazing prices, sweet caring service and awesome food…don’t miss this gem!!

Amazing burger place! Such a fun area too, right by the beach down a little path from town. The decorations and vibe were so beachy and the prices were very reasonable for what you got—the burgers were HUGE. Could easily feed two people.

Great food, great location and great people! I visited Tamarindo in May 2024 and the Surf Shack quickly became my favorite place to eat and have a beer. The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and personable which made the experience that much more enjoyable. I had an opportunity to meet the owners one morning and they were so nice to me. Everyone there is so friendly! I tried the bacon cheeseburger, the cheese steak, a salad with chicken and wings across multiple visits during the 2 weeks I was there. And definitely some of the best price vs. quantity I found. I was always having to take the extras to go. Cheaper beer prices compared to the neighboring restaurants. It was consistently great each and every time. I definitely recommend getting lunch there and then taking a walk on the beach. Writing this review has me ready for a return visit for a burger and an Imperial!

Sharky’s Sports Bar is a popular spot in Tamarindo, known for its pub-grub and great drinks. While it may not offer gourmet cuisine, it serves up delicious onion rings, wings, and burgers. The bar boasts an extensive menu of house cocktails, spiked smoothie pitchers, shooters, shots, and bombs. Additionally, patrons can enjoy a wide selection of draft and bottled craft beers, malts, and ciders.
We loved our experience at Sharky’s. The food was so good and the drinks were also delicious. The staff was great especially with recommendations and explaining certain things. We were seated immediately, drinks within 5 minutes and the food wasn’t a long wait either. Great little bar with a large indoor seating area with several TVs to enjoy all the sports.

This sports bar has a good vibe with plenty of outdoor seating. It's a great spot to catch a game or hang out with friends. The karaoke night can get pretty loud, but the lively crowd makes it fun if you're into that. Overall, a solid place for a casual night out.

My friends and I went last Saturday and it was "ladies night" and we were supposed to get vodka drinks for free. We initially didn't see the sign outside but were told by another customer that we met. The bar staff didn't mention anything about it. I am a Spanish speaking person and left my 3 Caucasian friends at the bar to order our next free drinks while I went to the washroom. When I got back one of my friends had gotten charged for the free drinks by one female staff (didn't get her name). When I asked her in spanish why she had charged my friends for the "free drinks" she got defensive and thought I had said she robbed my friends. Then a male server came and I asked him why she has charged us and he said that the female staff had used a vodka bottle from the back of the bar instead of the one they were supposed to use for the nights inventory & give the "free drinks". So beware and read signs cause the staff will charge you for free stuff and/or overcharge you (my friend also gave them too much money) and wasn't given her change back. I would give this a 0 rating but I can't as the staff was dishonest and took advantage of non Spanish speaking clients. We have experienced lots of other venues with nicer people that we will be visiting again :)

Great place to hang out and have a couple of drinks. Always has the latest games on. Staff is super friendly and the owner is really down to earth. If you are looking for a good time and great hospitality, this is the place to be.
Peter B — Google review
Unfortunate experience with female staff (Saturday night, November 1st 2025) extremely rude, dishonest, overcharged for drinks on "ladies night" when we were supposed to be "drinking for free". I accidentally overpaid because I was shaken up from the confrontation (was also difficult to hear and my spanish is pretty mediocre) and didn't receive any change when I overpaid. Very sad and disappointed as we've had nothing but good experiences everywhere else in Tamarindo. Unhappy bartenders taking their misery out on customers. Not cool. I caution you against going to this place and to read signage clearly as we were not even told it was "ladies night" by staff, but by another customer.

Yohan provided amazing service and was really sweet. He was very attentive, let us play whatever music we wanted and made our night super fun. The spot has different deals everyday so that was really good and allowed us to have fun without spending too much. Definitely recommend if in the area!

Asian restaurant
Wok N Roll is a well-known and long-running asian restaurant that serves up Korean, Vietnamese, Thai and Mongolian cuisine with some incredible fusion sushi. During high season, you can check out their oyster tank!
The Food, Service, and Atmosphere were all a 10/10 experience. I only had sushi tonight but there are plenty of non sushi options for those looking for something different. The fish was very fresh and the sushi menu alone is 3-4 pages. The owner, Candace, took great care of me. If you are in Tamarindo definitely stop by for a great experience. Pura Vida!
Clayton B — Google review
Everything about this restaurant is a 10/10 experience. The aesthics and energy draws you in, the food and drinks keep you here, and the service and hospitality makes you want to come again and again. As tourists, we were more than satisfied with the food as it was delicious. But we were also appreciative of the warm felt energy given by staff that suggested multiple locations to visit in Costa Rica that'll make our trip that more special. All in all, Wok n' Roll in Costa Rica is a must try!

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Tamarindo! The service and food is absolutely amazing. This establishment goes above and beyond in every way.

The food was fantastic. Fresh Japanese oysters every Monday! Never frozen. And they taste so much better than oysters I've had in the US. Everything is sourced local when possible and the meat is Niceragua grass fed. The owner can often be found working there. She and her staff are very friendly. This is a must stop in Tamarindo.

Hands down, the best meal I’ve had in Costa Rica. The food was absolutely incredible, and the service made the experience even more special. I truly felt like I was dining at a beloved family member’s restaurant—warm, welcoming, and full of heart. Now let’s talk about that pecan pie… to die for. If you’re planning a trip, do yourself a favor and make this place a priority. And whatever you do—don’t leave without trying that pie! You’ll thank me later.

This place was awesome. Very delicious food and excellent service. Thank you to the two young ladies that helped me both nights and to who I think was the owner/ manager. This place serves great food and at night it gets really busy. Having a DJ was a nice touch. This place is a must visit.

They were so attentive and good with the speed of their drinks. The drinks tasted great but the service is what really separated them from the other bars in the area.

A great Italian restaurant, one of the few with a high gastronomic level. Accidentally tripped to this place, and I must say that I was very lucky to be here. The dishes I ordered were simply delicious, fresh and well seasoned. I have not eaten such good Italian dishes for a long time, and when I ate it only in Italy or in Miami. You mast to come here and try. Excellent service , smiling, kind and doing their job well. Cocktail drinks also made at a high level, very rich in flavor until you want to drink and drink .....

Nestled within the Best Western Hotel in Tamarindo, Crazy Monkey Bar is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience an electrifying night out in Costa Rica. This vibrant venue opens its doors to the public on Friday nights from 9 PM until 2 AM, offering an exhilarating blend of live Latin music and DJ-spun hits that will keep you dancing under the stars.
Ok, here is the deal... Friday night between 9 and 11pm Entrance charge is $8USD per person ...lady's nite but they pay anyways, lol Free drinks is at centre bar only and limited to spirits and mix...1 drink per person per bar visit, no exceptions! We arrived at 9:10...crowd built gradually but there were long line ups at 11:30 Great for people watching! Music very loud...read club loud, salsa band in back (awsome sound and energy) & DJ in front playing everything with Lazer show. Lots of fun for all ages...I'm cresting into my youthful 60's and we felt relatively comfortable.

Honestly, it has a great vibe! The place features two stages with different music styles: pop and Latin. I enjoy the atmosphere, even though it can get crowded. I also heard that there is a new owner, and many improvements have been made. Overall, the entire place is fire and hotel have a cozy feel during the day

I loved it here! I love that they have two different stages - one in the open air and one with latin music. We had fun going between the two. There were girls at one of the stages giving free shots and a live drummer at the other stage which made it so interactive. Had a fun night of dancing. We also came back on Sunday for the pool party during the day and saw an amazing view of the sunset and pretty good food!

CATA Agave Bar is a hidden gem in Tamarindo, offering a perfect setting for tequila and mezcal enthusiasts. Situated above Noguis, it provides stunning ocean views, making it an ideal spot for enjoying sunset cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere. The bar specializes in a wide variety of agave spirits and offers an intimate tasting experience in their air-conditioned agave cava. Visitors can expect to be guided by passionate and knowledgeable staff members like Liz and David.
This is the best cocktail bar I have been to in Tamarindo. They have an excellent selection of delicious agave-based spirits and cocktails. The atmosphere at CATA simply cannot be beat. Just off the main beach, the bar is situated on the second level of a two-story building amidst a canopy of trees with a great view of beach and ocean. One of their regular customers, Jorge, the howler monkey, paid a visit while we were they, but just passing through on his favourite shortcut from a tree on one side of the building to the other. Much like Jorge, I will definitely be back!

Great little rooftop spot overlooking Tamarindo beach! Good service, friendly and attentive. Great view. Lively ambience. Live music, karaoke, games - a local spot, mostly where foreign expats hang out. We ordered craft Margaritas, mine was with Mezcal and Chili…delicious! Recommended!

Loved the drinks, the music and the vibes. It was a quiet Monday night in rainy November, and CATA was one of the few cocktail bars still open. Service was welcoming and accommodating. We enjoyed our drinks and the complimentary snacks. Special note - my husband and I were the only ones there, I wanted to get up and dance with him to a sweet song that was playing. They restarted the song for us. :)

Very cool spot to sip mezcal and tequila. Owner and staff were friendly and very knowledge about the different spirits. The coffee cocktail and coconut old fashioned were amazing! Also, this is one of the only places we found in Costa Rica where you can get a Mexican style Michelada with tomato juice. 10/10! Definitely check it out! We went in December and couldn't really see the actual sunset from the bar but stil a nice vibe. My only con would be that the bar stools are not very comfortable.

Absolutely outstanding experience. From epic cocktails to incredible conversation, this place is a must! The first night we went here Liz made us incredible drinks both on and off the menu. Then she walked us through the basics and gave us tons of information about other local businesses she thought we could like. We had such a fantastic experience that we booked a mezcal tasting appoint the next evening. Shaina (I have no idea if I spelled her name correctly, sorry!) was incredibly thoughtful and a wealth of information as she guided us, taste by taste, through each tequila and mezcal brand she believed we would like. She nailed it. I’ll be back for sure!

I love this place!! One of my go to spots for delicious fresh drinks made with love! They have an incredible tasting room where you can do a curated tasting of specialty mezcal and tequila. There cocktail menu is fresh and unique, you wont find these in any old regular bar. My husband and I travel often and everywhere we go we love to have great cocktails! The vibe is cool and the view is beautiful for sunset especially if you don’t want to get sandy! The service is lovely and attentive and they speak English which is a bonus! I also checked out their salsa night on a Wednesday and it was BUMPING with good music abd great vibes! If you’re visit Tamarindo, make this one of your evening entertainment spots. You wont be disappointed!

El Be - Tamarindo Beach Club is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of surfing at Tamarindo Beach. With its palm trees illuminated at night and UV lights creating a tropical ambiance, it's an ideal place to catch the sunset while enjoying a refreshing cocktail. The beach club offers one of the best chiliguaros in town, live music, and a barefoot bar with spectacular beachfront views.
Great food, great service, great ambiance, live music, (soft jazzy saxophone) happy hour drinks And a fire show. We had a great night eating dinner while watching the sunset! Can go right off the beach in your swimsuit. Love the place! Great for sunset. Staff was friendly, attentive considering how busy they were getting a bunch of us at the same time for sunset and dinner and/or drinks. Want to keep it to myself.

I was in Tamarindo with my granddaughter for several nights and this was our favorite place to eat after a sunset on the beach. I love Costa Rican food, but sometimes you want some chicken wings and French fries. The service was excellent both inside and outside. On Thursday night, they had a local guy playing guitar and singing, and he was excellent. The music definitely catered toward older folks, with a lot of old rock and roll including The Beatles, CCR, Elvis, and lots of other good stuff. It makes me happy to see young people playing and loving those good old tunes. Go for the food and great service, stay for the music, drinks, and ocean view. Oh yeah, and they have monkeys in their trees!

We ate lunch here once and I think were here two or three times for sunset drinks. The place is great! Singers, DJs, great sunset and the best place to watch the good surfers in the evening. Oh, and fire dancers. Just saying. Wonderful service, good happy hour menu.

I love this place for their happy hour! They offer a wide variety of cocktails for $4 until 7PM which is the perfect time to sit back and enjoy the sunset.

Really good beach bar. Quick with the drinks (even during happy hour), good quality in drinks. They’re not cheap on the alcohol 😋. Bar bite calamari was excellent and reasonably priced. Staff is friendly and quick. There was a band playing in the early evening and during their break there was other entertainment in the form of a fire show (smart move).

I can’t say enough about this place! The food and drinks are amazing. I work in the restaurant industry in Canada, and I can legitimately say I’ve never seen better service. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant Daniel made use feel so welcome. This was the best service I’ve ever experienced! The food, 5 starts, the cocktails, 5 stars. If you are visiting Tamarindo, you need to check out Pikatas. It is my first time here with my partner and Daniel and staff gave us great advice about where to go to enjoy the nightlife!

The paella was AMAZING!! The picture doesn’t do it justice! The rice and seafood were perfectly cooked! The wings, fries, and sliders were great too! Just beware though, the personal paella is not for just one person. It could feed 2-3 people!

The best food in the area. Hands down. We visited at 3pm for a late lunch. A few tables occupied, but Yayi greeted us immediately. Very welcoming. I needed to stand for awhile so we chose the bar. Ordered a Pepsi and a beer to start. I had no idea what I was in the mood to eat. Yayi was fantastic. Recommended the grill of the house and it was divine. Just divine. I had told her my other half is allergic to shrimp so she chose something without seafood for us. There was the prettiest avocado flower on the top of the mixed grill. Also had grilled pineapple, plantain, ribs, chicken, cheese and a mound of veggies hid under it all. We are big eaters and could only finish half of the plate. Every item on it was so flavorful. My boyfriend asked for hot sauce and was given 3 choices. One was perfectly hot for his taste. If you are near here, you must try it. So, so good.

Got us through the door with a “2 for 1 happy hour” “deal”. Then they say they’ll put the 2 drinks into one “big” cup. In the picture there’s a regular priced drink, and a “2 for 1 in one cup” drink. Can you tell which is which? I don’t like having my intelligence insulted, and the drinks were mediocre at best. Food was good though 2 stars

We got screwed. 135 USD for 6 drinks. Anyhow not a bad place to go. But just be mindful they will try and upsell -- Updated-- Premium line. So when a customer sees the menu, says "can I have a Margarita", you decide to put the premium line there. So it went from 5k a cocktail to 10k. Anyways. As I said, Nice bar and all. Just be mindful of them treating you like Gringos

Food was so delicious...top grade scrumptious! went there with my sis for a pizza lunch, Hawaiian...the best! Then Frank told us about karaoke night. Plus he played music we requested during lunch...Yes some afternoon Bachata hey! Let me tell you something about karaoke!!! 1000% will go back. Daniel the DJ was AMAZING! He made us feel like rock stars with the disco lights, especially sound control so everyone sounded wonderful. I will go back to this place anytime. Even right now if I could. Million % recommend this place. Pura vida

A Hidden Gem with Great Food and Vibes! We spent an evening at El Mercadito de Tamarindo after an exciting day of ATV touring and meeting up with some friends — and we’re so glad we found this hidden gem! El Mercadito feels like a vibrant food hall with an awesome selection of food vendors offering something for everyone — from Costa Rican, Mexican, Japanese, Argentinian, to American cuisine. Every dish we tried was flavorful and fresh, and the variety made it perfect for our group with different tastes. To top it off, we couldn’t resist dessert — the kids loved their ice cream and shakes, and it was the perfect way to end the night. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and family-friendly, with great music and an upbeat vibe. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a fun night out, we highly recommend checking this place out.

Great local place with various food vendors. There’s some cover but no A/C. However, we found it just fine like that. We came here a few times and tried local Costa Rican food (casado), Venezuelan (fresh smoothies and tequeños), crepes, and seafood (fish fillet with salad and tostones). The food is yummy, prices are a bit better than in restaurants but still not cheap even though it’s a food court. Don’t expect much service here, it’s very much self-serve, just like in any other food court. It’s clean and atmospheric with music and greens around you.

We stopped by for late night dinner and ended up staying for drinks with the owner of the Mercadito. Fantastic Caipirinhas, fish and shrimp tacos and huge sized chicken wings! We will be back! I also love that they accept everyone not only in the restrooms, but also in general, even Batman!!

Great open air food court with reasonable prices. My family enjoyed the ceviche, the best that we had while in Costa Rica. My favorite place in the food court was the steak location, had an excellent ribeye cooked to a proper medium rare. There is also a good ice cream place for dessert or milkshakes. And then the bar has the coldest beer that I was able to get while here. Prices were reasonable and service was fast. There are a few local cats who hang out here too.

If the few beach-side hotels, this is by far the best. Best location on the beach and centrally located such that everything is within a walking distance of the main strip. In fact it is on the main strip. The breakfast buffet is fabulous. Even though they serve almost the same things every day, there is sufficient variety and the food is delicious. The staff are great and courteous. The beach is long and wide- especially in the morning at low tide Highly recommend for families and couples
Harold K — Google review
What a cool little food court! This place is back off of the main strip, but super accessible. The collection of restaurants is impressive, ranging from gourmet hamburgers to top-notch tacos, hand-rolled sushi to Argentinian top sirloin. Top it all off with ice cream or belly up to the Medusa, a bar with a BOAT in it! By the way, the bartender knows his stuff. This place doesn't really come to life until dinner, which is usually after sunset here. Friendly atmosphere and good music put this over the top, securing their 5-star review. Once you find this food court, you'll want to come back again and again so you can try all they have to offer.

Incredible! The food will blow you away! The setting is wonderfully natural and the service is authentic and warm. Inventive food and drink menu with both a La carte and pairing options. The Mahi mahi, shrimp, rondon. And ceviche were all outstanding. I’ll go as far to say the ceviche was the best of my life! Go now!

If you are in Tamarindo, you HAVE to come here!! We did the 5 course meal and everything was delicious. I am not a seafood person and the mussel ceviche and fried fish were amazing. The dessert was by far the best dessert i’ve had, a pumpkin ice cream and OMG the most delicious ice cream i’ve had. The drinks were both creative and flavorful, each drink had a special holder and made the experience so much cooler. The icing on this place was their dogs. Tequila was the sweetest little pup and kept us great company, but not too bothersome. The atmosphere here was great, and we were sad to see that we were the only ones there for a 6pm dinner. I cannot stress enough how amazing of a dinner this was to celebrate our engagement. Please take a chance on this place when visiting CR!!

Most memorable meal of our time in Costa Rica and up there in best dinners we’ve had in all of our travels! Owner (Diego) and Chef Ignacio took excellent care of us. Ignacio met our excitement for local ingredients in the tasting menu and spent time and care explaining everything he made. Every course was perfectly cooked, packed with creative flavors, and highlighted high quality local proteins and produce. Cocktails were equally delicious with cool presentations. Other aspects that stood out about Tropic was the chill vibe, friendly house pets (Tequila, Margarita, and Cacao), and their support of local farmers, craftspeople, and fishermen.
Chris D — Google review
The food was ok and did have some nice creativity. The presentation of the food was clean. I just feel the drinks didn’t have to be served in toys and used baby flamingo slippers with spots of mold on the inside. I also didn’t like the dogs running around the place when your paying $550 USD for a family of 5. I’m a dog guy but I think there is a time and place for that. I get it it’s different culture but dogs were literally chasing cats while we were eating.

We came here for dinner and were blown away by how good the food was. We both did the tasting menu which the chef did great putting together, everything was delicious. The ceviche was very memorable with how good it was. The cocktails there were really fun the cups and vessels they served the cocktails up in. Definitely worth a visit and outside the normal fare you could find in the town.

We had an 11 people reservation for my friend’s 30th birthday. Diego was very accommodating with extending restaurant hours and even brought us a cake with candles at the end. There was an unfortunate city power outage during our dinner and the kitchen worked on phone flashlights to deliver amazing quality food!! Diego also has adorable dogs entertaining guests that made it much more special. Highly recommend this place!

A great Indian restaurant in Tamarindo. I come here frequently, sometimes just for soup or a salad at lunchtime Or sometimes for dinner as I did tonight, Consistently excellent food, and service It’s a very nice property with the option to be In an air conditioned section. Which is sometimes a must here. Tonight I had a shrimp, coconut curry. My apologies for not remembering the name. It was outstanding along with some very tasty garlic butter naan bread. They have a very interesting cocktail list, This evening I had the gin based cocktail called Everest. Absolutely delicious. A fabulous extensive menu, So many wonderful choices it’s very hard too choose. You won’t be disappointed.

Naan and Curries Restaurant Review I never imagined that in a rural resort town in Costa Rica, I would discover such wonderful Indian food. As a big fan of lamb curries, I was absolutely delighted by the variety and flavor. On our first night, the lamb jungle curry was so addictive — perfectly paired with fresh naan and rice. We came back the next day to carry out, and on the third day, I tried the lamb butter curry. The meat was incredibly tender, practically melting in your mouth. The service here is truly second to none, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Unfortunately, we had to leave Tamarindo the following morning, but if you love Indian cuisine, you won’t find anything better — not even in the USA. Thank you for such a memorable culinary experience!

Really enjoyed it. The air conditioned area looks very nice, the appetizer was tasty. And we ordered - group of 4 - different kinds of curries. Palak Paneer, Chicken Tikka etc. some Samosas with chicken. All good. Not that spicy - if you like spicy, tell the waitress. Also, the curries don’t come with rice by default so make sure to order this. The watermelon juice was my favourite. Last touch was a set of hand towels which are easily confused for candy…when we couldn’t finish our food (big portions) it was no problem to get a doggy bag for it. Would recommend and come again.

We dined in on a peaceful Tuesday night. They had live music playing and our waiter Marlo was friendly and attentive. Our meal was excellent. We had mouthwatering octopus and bread with chimmichurri to start. My partner and I orders seafood and mushroom risotto to share and grilled vegetables. We were stuffed. Food was delicious, atmosphere excellent. They have AC and felt more like a nicer restaurant with open air seating still inside as well. They had large selection of wine. Very good value for what you get!

Pleasant dinner, we arrived shortly after six and the restaurant was quiet. The outside area is a mess with broken glass and grime. Keep going, once you cross the small bridge the inside is quite nice and recently done. The service was good. We felt welcome. The food was hit or miss. An Argentinian restaurant should do steak and chimichurri really well. Two of us ordered flank steak. Mine, the full size, was cooked a proper medium, with just a hint of char but plenty of pink meat for flavor. The smaller order was not cooked properly. Ordered medium-rare, one side was close to that, but the other so rare as to be uncooked and inedible. It was obvious from the lack of outside color, grill marks, or char. The cook didn't pay attention and neither did anyone else. The chimichurri was bland as if a small amount of herbs and spice were dropped into oil moments before serving, no hint of garlic or vinegar was noticed. The use of "Fusion" on a menu hides a lot, but these misses go too far. The Milanese was nice.

Okay you have to call this for what it is a Beach bar. No Frills just a fun place. There is just a great feel to this place. The food is unbelievable. I wouldn't knock the service because this is a laid back place where nobody should be in a hurry. The bartender is a grizzly guy who never smiles and looks as if he could eat you, but you get your drinks. Gaze at people, gaze at the ocean..you can always pick up a soccer game behind the bar. The food is unbelievably good. As the day transitions to night, the night crowd is just fun, fun, fun. Get serenaded by Marachi players, dance, and don't forget to wash every thing down with with an Imperial beer, Costa Rica's finest. Right on the beach you can walk over 40 yards of sand right to the waters edge. I love this little city, I love the people. I will be back.

Guests rave about the exceptional dry-aged steaks and delightful empanadas that keep them coming back for more. The inviting atmosphere enhances the dining experience as patrons savor perfectly grilled meats like ribeye and churrasco.
Best steaks ever. I came to El Mercadito thinking that nah, this is not the place where I want to eat but then I found Patagonia fast & good and I changed my mind. I ate here 3 times in a row. I had a ribeye, a churrasco and the last night I had a New York and let me tell you: I love meat and I’ve never had steaks like these before. The taste and freshness were something completely new, different and unique to the point that I ended up dinning here 3 times. Pablo ( the cook) and Jessie ( the food runner ) did such a great job. They were so welcoming and easy to talk to. Always with a great smile and such a good attitude. This is a place that I would def recommend to everyone if visiting Tamarindo beach.

Absolutely, horrible employees! On December 22 at 7 PM, they decided that they were going to take their 2 hour break while the entire food court was full and totally ignore me and my family of seven that planned on ordering dinner from them… the girl literally made the hand signal to move along! As much as I loved their food before the employees who worked on December 22 should be fired immediately as they do not understand that if they don’t sell things they won’t have a job! It’s unfortunate, but I will never eat here again even though this is my favorite place in town… actions speak louder than words. Hopefully management reads this. You can look and see that they made zero dollars for over two hours, while their employees sat at the bar of the restaurant and refused to do business… sidenote for any locals, the night market was not open tonight for the first time in a year because they were doing construction in the parking lot. Therefore, the food court was jampacked. a lot of people want to complain that they can’t make money however, you have to be willing to DO YOUR JOB! in order to make money. I’m sure I will see them renting ATV’s next month whenever they get fired for being lazy!
