Renting in Potrero and our hosts suggested this place at Playa Dante. A 15 minute drive from Potrero this place is a small piece of heaven. Private, guarded parking and no walk at all to the beach. Lola's has lovely wooden tables and chairs right at the top of the black sand beach. We ordered a few local beers and... More

The drive out to this little piece of heaven is very scenic, twisting above cliffs overlooking strips of blue water beaches. It is worth the little trip if you want a little quiet but some great amenities. Playa Dante has been naturally developed with hiking and mountain biking trails nearby, maintaining its feeling of seclusion and natural beauty. The beach... More

What an awesome location! Right on Dante beach which is good for boogy boarding and swimming and great for families. Always a breeze to keep you comfortable in the heat. The staff is very friendly, most all of them speak good enough English. The menu is small but everything we've tried is very good. My husband's favorite is the chicken... More

Tricky to find, but well worth it. Love eating with the palms swaying overhead and feet in the sand and waves crashing into beach. We had the caesar salad with shrimp and Prima Vera salad with mahi mahi. Both very good, generous portions--just like the cervesas. Very busy in Feb. but staff were attentive when they needed to be.

We have been regulars at Lola's Avellanas over the years, their new Lola's Norte saves a lot of mileage and wear/tear on the vehicles when you reside in Potrero. Miss the piggy, but the pizza recipe has made the trip north and is still wonderful. Ceviche great and generous portions - try a Michelada for a refreshing drink change. A... More

Playa Danta community is a great find. Bike/Surf/Snorkel/paddleboard shop is a great resource for all the toys to enjoy the Pacific Ocean beach. Lola's has excellent food in a great casual setting overlooking the beach. Menu of Tico specialties and great casual food offers very generous portions. Poki Tuna and Ceviche are meals themselves with great flavors. The drinks after... More

We had a great day at Lola's. Our kids rented boogie boards from Pura Vida Ride next door and we just parked ourselves at Lola's. Great food, drinks, sevice, beach and view. It turned out to be one of our favorite places.
