Unique concept- loved the way they display their menu on the board and swings at the bar area. Also liked how staff was just blending sitting and eating their meals with the rest of patrons- kind of cool. Service was quick, waitstaff polite, generous "buffet" where you can find fixings for your tacos and sides like roasted potatoes, coleslaw, pasta... More

skip the chips and salsa, but the wild potatoes - fries - were delicous. my fish taco was only ok, and I wasnt overly impressed with the "unlimited toppings bar" . its super casual, laid back, you can stroll in from the beach as is. The swings by the bar were a highlight for me!

Tacobar is amazing! The food is always fresh and delicious. Having the salad bar included is a great bonus! A must go if you're staying in Jaco.

Dishes and salad bar are great. Massive fudge brownies. I have eaten at Tacobar about 10 times. Once I had to wait an hour for my burrito but they comped it. Other than this incident, no major hiccups. Nice atmosphere (try sitting on the swings at the bar).

When on vacation, i generally don't like to eat at the same place twice, but we ate here FOUR times! 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 1 dinner. Breakfast The breakfast burrito can't be beat. Must have. It's big enough for two, but I didn't want to share. Lunch/Dinner Same taco setup: pick your meat, pick how you want it cooked and... More

I loved this place. Fish tacos were exceptional. Fresh place. Not gourmet but an excellent choice for an informal lunch or a warm night at Jacó Beach

This place has a very interesting architecture that makes the place beautifull. The food is good, at a reasonable price with a great salad bar.

What a cool place! A taco joint with a full salad bar, any type of taco you can think of (burritos and salads too) and you got to sit on swings while you ate! We'll be back!
