I have lived in Jaco for 6 months now, and P&B is by far the place I've dined at the most. I often head there to grab a bite and a couple beers before heading out in Centro (not to mention returning the next morning for a "Hangover Elixer" smoothie and some breakfast. Their prices are much better than Los... More

The place is great, nice and chilled. The staff is super friendly and they are always... More

I stopped and ate here a few times while I was in Jaco. The owners and staff are very warm and friendly, to go along with the relaxed vibe they've created. My favorite burger is the Picasso - it had avocado and some excellent chilly jelly. My girlfriend 's favorite was the chicken avocado sandwich that was grilled to perfection.... More

Papas and Burgers is one of my favourite restaurants in Jaco. The food is always amazing. I don't eat meat (only fish), but I still have so many options to choose from on the menu. My favourites are the veggie burger, the mahi mahi wrap, and the casado. The owners, Chris and Claudio, are such great guys--they really make you... More

Papas and burgers was the only place we ate at twice in Jaco. The burgers are good, unfortunately I believe I was served a brownie that must have been intended for someone else in the restaurant. I ended up on San Jose hospital stoned on a hash brownie that I ordered from the menu. I have toxicology reports from CIMA... More

I was travelling thru Jaco while in Costa Rica. I spent a couple days as a guest in Beds on Bohio. This was the restaurant at the hostel. I ate here for breakfast a few times, which was good. But then I had the Johnny Cash Burger for dinner...soo good. I love jalepenos, and it is covered with them. Great... More

A great place in this beach town to get a real burger and hand-cut fries. Big smoothies and friendly staff. Its also one of the best hostels in town, has a great vibe/energy, don't miss this place.
