We got a chicken burrito and margaritas one of the days, and a cappuccino, banana smoothie, French toast and bagel and lox the other day! Super nice that they’re open early (7am) to grab a bite to eat before surfing or other excursions. It is rainy season so it is quieter at this time of year, but it was really nice because it was quiet and the food both times for lunch and breakfast was very quick! We also bought the pre-made granola And it was delicious! Highly recommend this place, there’s several different options of places to eat, and of course, a lot of different food items to choose from!

Eat Street in Santa Teresa is a great spot for lunch! The prices are reasonable compared to other places in the area, and the portions are both generous and super tasty. The service is friendly and efficient, which makes the whole experience even better. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a satisfying and affordable meal

amazing place to stop and eat if you’re in santa teresa. the girls that work there are so nice. the food is amazing. it’s beautiful as well.

This place is great in that it has a lot of options and variety as well as great prices! We dined here a few times and I will say some things are good and others are just okay. The nachos and tacos were both amazing - nachos were loaded to the max and the fish tacos were super crispy and authentic. Our experience with the cocktails was just okay, we felt they were lacking alcohol and nothing special. I went for the poke bowl given the many good reviews however it was not for me - overloaded with a sweet chili sauce and the tuna had little fat links that made it hard to chew.

Amazing spot. A must go while in Santa Teresa. You have 3-4 different food choices. Everything was amazing.

Such a great hangout spot! We had smoothies, octopus tacos, a curry dish, and pastries daily. Everything was amazing. The staff is so nice and friendly. The parking lot is very convenient

The coffee is excellent here. Also enjoyed a few smoothies (Very Berry was the best) and bowls (Açaí was the best) throughout the week, as well as gallo pinto with vegan sausages, and smoky mushroom tacos. All quite tasty! And the service was lovely. Ended up using this spot as a bit of a home base between surf outings and felt right at home!

Been coming here every time I come to Santa Teresa. This time I went twice because the burgers are high quality and very delicious. I recommend getting the meat a bit red as it adds to the flavour. Their fries are incredible! Whenever they have live music, it’s wonderful and adds to the atmosphere. The people working there are very nice and attentive. Highly recommend!

if you are looking for great burgers - go to burger rancho! we had a „normal“ rancho burger and a „special“ angus burger. both highly recommended! and the homemade jalapenos sauce - jummy! we come back, for sure! and on top the owner (?) was very friendly and kind. good job guys! 🤙🏼

This place was really cute. We had a great meal that everyone in our group enjoyed. The real star of the dinner was the chocolate milkshake though! It was THE BEST chocolate milkshake that any of us have ever had. I would definitely come here again even though the fries weren't very good.

The burger was incredible. One of the best burgers I've ever eaten. The restaurant is small and cozy and central enough to be near everything. If you're going in the high season, expect to wait in line to get a table.

Very delicious food and nice interior. Wide range of foods besides just burgers. We ate every bite of our food (chicken shawarma and BBQ burger). Prices were good over lunch

Really nice burgers. Really tasty and made with real beef. I loved the music that was playing there. Rock classics from 1990-2000's. Definitely a place to go while in Santa Teresa!

Nice veggie burger options (which some burger places still struggle with), great smoothies, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Only minus: The music is sometimes a little too loud for our taste.

Went here twice in 4 days 😂. The food is amazing and staff were friendly. The restaurant was a little dark during the day but it helped keep it cool in the heat. The ceciche mixto with patacones was great, very crispy with warm soft interior. The pollo casado is perfect for a hungry surfer looking to refuel. I also got the maracuya (passion fruit) drink which was sweet and tangy.

Classic soda food. Great portion size and very yummy. Good value in Santa Teresa.

Great food! The portions are huge, we got four dishes and we had tons leftover for lunch the next day. Would 100% recommend.

Listen is a Soda( Costarrican style Dinner) very basic place! Service is slow so get used to Tico Soda time! Typical/everyday Food is amazing! great Prices! Very fresh as overall costarrican products are! 💯 happy with this place and support them!

Everything really good and portions really big! we were three and we shared: one arroz con Camarones (rice with shrimps), one Casado con pollo (topical dish with rice, beans, and chicken in this case), both served with a side of fries and salad, and one patacones (mashed platano, which is a sweeter banana, fried and served with beans cream and grated cheese) Was a really beautiful night even thanks to the lovely atmosphere :) we recommend it!

Amazing nachos con carne, great portion

Ate a great casado with fish and got a very dedicated friend in the process. The food was good with large potions and the staff is friendly.

Pizzas are amazing. Seriously. Great spot, good atmosphere. A bit long to get our food but you know, it's Pura Vida.

The food is actually very good. Had the Hawaiian pizza, chicken parm sandwich and the spaghetti with meat sauce(takeout). also a few Margarita pizza slices. Really good prices, good food, good portion size. This place should be busy, based on why a restaurant is a restaurant, but it’s not a trendy, boho style spot. But check it out, and you will enjoy!

It was excellent! We got the Hawaiian pizza, warm bread with balsamic and puree tomatoes in olive oil and grilled veggies. Soo yummy and service was good!

Awesome pizza! But they also serve lot of other things such pasta, sea food and beverages. Great place and customer service, owned by south americans ( I think one guy was from Uruguay). They accept AMEX cards, which is nice. Food quality is very good and prices are fair. You can have pizza for two ( 4 slides each) for 5000mil colones ($9) if you are on a budget.. thats not bad.

This place has everything!!!!! one kid had a pizza The other had schnitzel with tomato sauce pasta I had a salad and ceviche one of the best ones I had Highly recommended great service the staff are so nice!

The big pizza is easy enough for two people. I did the ‘mistake’ and ordered it for my own and I was just filled up to head with Pizza afterwards... They gave us the last two pieces home with a doggy bag. In total the pizza was nothing special but still good. Service was good also.

Ok’ish… not my favorite. Dough tastes like what you get frozen from the supermarkets. Topping is ok

First at all..it’s hard to get a good ceviche in Santa Teresa but this place definitely got it👌🏽. It’s my second time in three days now having dinner here. The ceviche was one of the best I ever tried and I tried a lot. I choose the mexican style with camerones and pulpo. You can choose spicy from 1-10. I took the 5 and it was spicy but tasty and eatable! Also had to try the homemade lemonade and de fried camarones as starter 👌🏽 The Service was sweet and so friendly!! Definitely a must try here in Santa Teresa CR

We ended up going here twice while we were in the area for a week vacation. The food was great, everyone enjoyed their meals. No bad choice, we had seared tuna, poke bowl and the stir fry. For the poke bowl and stir fry you get to choose your combination of sea food. Our server Yorgan was very friendly and pleasant to talk with.

This spot is a must-try in Santa Teresa! The food is delicious and very well priced. Our server was very kind and offered excellent recommendations. The restaurant itself feels welcoming and tropical.

I had a great time at this restaurant! The food was delicious—especially the ceviche and fish—and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!”

Such authentic and creative ceviche dishes. We came back twice for the Mexichina. Very fresh fish - as if just out of the water. Yorgan was a wonderful server , very happy to accommodate us. This spot is a must visit if you’re in the area.

Wowwwww the best shrimp I’ve ever had. So happy I had this incredible dish. The shrimp tastes like it’s been marinating for hours and it was fired on a grill. It’s hard to put into words how tasty this is but it really hit the spot. I ate the potatoes last and only needed two to be completely full. Highly recommend. This will be a dish I dream about for sure. Also everyone here has a good vibe. Very kind and smiley. Excellent spot and definitely my favorite meal in Santa (and I’ve been here for 9 days).

I cannot express what an amazing meal this was. We ordered the tuna poke, the “mexichina” with mahi mahi and the carribean stir-fry with shrimp. I’ve eaten excellent food around the world and this is a highlight. Please, do yourself a favour and eat here. We were also treated to some excellent live music from Skye and his band. Really an amazing evening. Shout out to Carlos, Joshua and Yorgan for their excellent hospitality as well. Cannot rate this place higher!

This the first place we ate when we got to Santa Theresa, Costa Rica. It set the tone very well. Food was great, the vibes were great. The staff were friendly and hospitable.

Amazing food and drinks! The premixed cocktails are fresh and SUPERB! We had done a morning fishing trip with Day Trips Costa Rica and caught 2 types of tuna. Aaron (the guide) is also a chef and gave us 4 restaurants in Carmen Beach where we could bring the fish and they would make us something special. We chose to come to Drift. The fisherman’s special was a 6-course tasting menu that BLEW OUR SOCKS OFF! It was so delicious and ranks in my top 5 meals of all time!!!! The tuna carpaccio with ground cherries and cocoa nibs was our favorite, but favorite is hard when all courses were amazing!

Super cute spot! I got an espresso, the spicy black bean burger w fries, and also their drink deal 2 for $15. The spicy black bean burger was homemade and probably the best I’ve ever had. The staff was very nice and spoke amazing English. They came to ask if I was vegan since I ordered the black bear burger and I said I am- they offered me a vegan bun. I was really impressed and appreciative of them making this effort to keep my meal fully vegan. Amazing service, amazing food.

Love all the vegan options! The gazpacho soup was AMAZING! We also had the vegan black bean burger and the tofu poke bowl. They also have great drink specials!

Tucked away just back from the road we were unsure what to expect but we had an incredible dinner. We tried some of their specialty cocktails which were on special, the watermelon mule I believe one one. Excellent. I had the burger and salad, girlfriend had the Poke bowl. All 10/10. Service was incredible, very attentive and great with recommendations.

Best Espresso Martini in Santa Teresa for me! We enjoyed ourselves so much... we came back again & again. Art, Cocktails, Shared Tapas Starters, Catch of the Day for main. Can’t fault the place. Loved absolutely everything about it. Theo the waiter was particularly friendly. Thankyou. X

Best Vegetarian restaurant hands down in Santa Teresa I tried a lot of things on the menu all packed with so much flavor! Also do Brunch on Sundays. They have an amazing market as well that sells some of the best gluten free deserts of ever tried must try gluten free chocolate cake fluffy and not too sweet. Can’t forget about there cold pressed juices you can buy ones with alcohol or without amazing blends to choose from try the Jalapeño Margarita wow!! I met the owner while there a delightful woman named Sharon she was from Scotland I believe. Do yourself a favor and check this place out you won’t regret!!! Very friendly staff as well exceptional for Costa Rica!!

Didn’t stay at hotel. Had food and drinks on beach. Service very attentive, food was excellent, drinks were good. Watched the fire dance, cool. Music and atmosphere were excellent. Spent fantastic evening with my family, totally enjoyed the experience. Definitely going back.

Amazing restaurant! The staff is very friendly. The drinks and food are delicious. We had the atum selado, and this dish was amazing! It was so good that we ordered it again. The atmosphere is cozy. Music was playing, and if you visit in the late afternoon, you can also enjoy a beautiful sunset. In the evening, candles were placed on the tables, creating a romantic vibe. We would definitely come back.

The staff at Rancho Itaúnas were absolutely lovely—friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The location is incredible, especially if you’re looking to catch a breathtaking sunset. It’s the perfect spot to wind down the day with a drink in hand. The food, however, was just okay and felt overpriced for the quality and portions we received. Definitely something to keep in mind if you’re dining here. There was a fun fire show.

Had drinks here one night. They did make an error on the bill (happy hour margarita promo was not correctly applied on bill so we overpaid) but I didn't realize til later when I checked my bank account. Otherwise, the drinks were pretty good and they've got a nice spot by the beach in Santa Teresa. We enjoyed spending time there after sunset one evening and the staff were very friendly and kind.

After researching countless places without knowing the area, I hit the jackpot with Rancho Itauna. This beachfront gem exceeded all my expectations! The rooms were comfortable with good AC and daily cleaning (a real treat). Each morning started with deliciously fresh breakfast before heading straight to the beach just steps away. The Brazilian restaurant on-site was a highlight - incredible food and drinks with ocean views created perfect evening moments. Through their package, I took surf lessons with Palo, who amazingly had me standing and turning on waves by day two! What makes this place special is the atmosphere. The staff clearly loves being there, creating a wonderfully relaxed yet attentive vibe. Don't miss Tuesday nights with DJs, lights and fire dancers drawing people from all around. I've traveled extensively but Rancho Itauna has become one of my favorite places ever. I'm already planning my return next year - something I rarely do as I usually prefer exploring new destinations. If you're on the fence about booking, I can't recommend it highly enough!

Excellent service, friendly staff. Our meal was delicious and the location can't be beat. It was a prime spot for sunset. My partner who is not much of a dessert person, had the Brigadeiro (Brazilian chocolate ball) and he said it was amazing. There were a few items on the menu that could be made vegan and they all sounded delicious. I had the grilled avocado with a tomato and cumin sauce and it was very flavourful. We will definitely be back!

We came for sunset drinks twice… amazing spot, so chilled, and Victoria looked after us with good humour and charm. recommended !

Absolutely the BEST sushi in Santa Teresa! 🍣✨ We were blown away by how delicious and fresh everything was. Our first waitress, Rosia, was so kind and attentive — she took such great care of us! And we have to give a huge shoutout to Manager Rose and bartender Emma, who were the sweetest and made the best drinks. Rose even gave us amazing recommendations for Manzanillo Beach and truly went above and beyond to make our night special. 🙌 It was SO good that we came back again the very next day! 🌴💖 If you’re in Santa Teresa, this spot is an absolute MUST. Truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! -Lauren & DC

This place is a great spot for a meal. The Asian fusion with Costa Rican food was delicious, and the ambiance was fantastic. I was initially confused when I saw an Asian restaurant in Costa Rica, but they explained the history to me.

Terrific veggie sushi!! Nice staff and great place. The one downside is the digital menu. We like it personal, not digital and staring to your phone. Would be friendly for elder people too. Please get a paper menu :) Otherwise perfect.

Amazing days here for us at Santa Teresa. We felt Home Like First Moment. Thanks for that wonderful evening in that beautiful Restaurant. The Team was super helpful and we had nice Sushi and Drinks. So Great tasting.They were Really helpful to our Baby that She feels Well Go there and enjoy your Holiday

We stayed in Santa Teresa for 10 days and we kept coming back to Satori for the food and wonderful staff! Emma and Rocio were so welcoming and friendly! I highly suggest the Subarashi Roll and the Crispy Shitaki Bites!

Absolutely incredible experience at Satori! The food was next-level fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every bite felt like the perfect balance of creativity and quality. Ignacio was amazing super friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations that took our meal to the next level. You can really tell he cares about the guests’ experience. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elevated perfect for a night out in Santa Teresa. Can’t wait to come back!

Ill keep this short and sweet. Came with my girlfriend. Ordered a bunch of food (1 app, 3 sushi rolls, one curry bowl, one dessert). Food was amazing. Well flavored, perfectly cooked. Dessert was perfect size for 2. Not too big. Wine was nice. Service was perfect. She recommended things, gave advice, knew all the details. Place is obviously a tad on the higher side price wise (obviously for good sushi). I would come back here for sure.

We ate at Ani's every day during our stay in Santa Teresa, and it quickly became a favorite! Every morning, we'd stop by for a cappuccino, and the staff was always warm and welcoming. The food was consistently great—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. It does get busy, so I highly recommend going early when they open. We also visited for lunch once, and I had the Mahi Caesar Salad and the Yellow Bowl, both of which were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

The “Morning Sunshine” smoothie was one of the best things I had during my stay in Santa Teresa! I also only preferred to get my iced coffees from here as they were the perfect amount of sweet and delicious. This is a prime location, as it was right across from our Airbnb & it had a path to the beach right next to it. Most seating is outdoor, but it’s covered and airy. This spot is very chill, with good ambience and lots of conversation.

Wow! So fresh and great portions! One of the best bowls I’ve ever had! I got the Poke Bowl, but everything looked so good— you really can’t go wrong with any option!

11/10 Wish we had found Ani’s sooner into our trip. Best breakfast in town, way better than The Bakery as it feels like a small cafe rather than a restaurant. Açai bowl was to die for, capers/salmon bagel was tremendous. Flat white and latte was out of this world. We also had a chocolate muffin which was fresh and decadent. Service was fast, friendly and knowledgeable.

Had the Surfer’s sandwich and it was delicious, the fish was so good and fresh highly recommend. Friendly staff.

This place is sooo yummy!!! Liked it so much I came twice. Great veggie and vegan option. Their smoothies are really amazing. Good portions and really nice staff. Both times I went was semi busy, but didn’t have any issues with waiting for food. Highly recommend all the items I got (veggie breakfast burrito, morning sunshine smoothie, and the protein bowl. Would go again if I had more time.

Food here is very delicious, fresh and big enough portions. Staff members are very friendly and welcoming. Service was great as well. Highly recommended stop!
