This steakhouse has been around for many years. The decor inside is a bit dated, but the tenderloin is excellent - very tender! You can see them grilling your meat in the open kitchen area. The meat comes with bread, beans, plantains and baked potato. Price is a bit cheaper than back home, but the quality is much better! I... More

I was at La Cascada many years ago in a family trip. I came back recently and was amazed at the quality of the place. From the refried beans and fresh bread to start, to a real, well cooked, perfectly seasoned steak, with THE BEST sweet plantains as side order up to the dessert, typical costarican coconut flan. A wonderful... More

The owner of our Bed and Breakfast recommended this restaurant to us because my husband wanted a "good steak" ! The meal was excellent ! The staff was helpful and courteous. We all had something different. Steak, chicken and seafood. It was all delicious and well prepared. Sure to go back here again sometime.!

I always enjoy this restaurant. Very predictable in a good way. The service is good, the quality of meat is great, and its location is convenient to everything.

This steakhouse has been around for decades, and has kept the same great quality and service. You cant go wrong with La Cascada. The food is great, steak always prepared perfect. Their philosophy seems to be "if it aint broken, dont fix it", and they have been ale to maintain the best steakhouse in Costa Rica this way. I strongly... More

I grew up going to this place for any important celebration. It's not what it used to be. Sad but true. The avocado salad is still good, other than that I wouldn't recommend it.

A big, tender piece of tenderloin with a baked potato, the best black beans ever and candied plantains is what you can expect. The food is excellent, the service as well, the ambiance could use a boost. If you go on Sunday, you will stand in line unless you have a reservation. When I have visitors, it is the first... More

We ate at some restaurants with more "atmosphere," but La Cascada had them all beat with its food. Despite arriving in informal shorts, the jacketed waiters made us feel very welcome. And just when we were wondering if anyone in Costa Rica knew how to prepare a steak without covering it in some kind of sauce, we found La Cascada.... More

It was a good restaurant decades ago, however everything is old now, their chairs, tables, restrooms and decoration are too old and the food have not enough quality for the prices that they have these days. The only thing that I recognize is that they still have good service, but for that money I prefer to visit other places like... More

We went to this restaurant to celebrate my boyfriends Bday, the service was quick and the waiters were very nice to us. The food was great, the meat cooked exactly like we ordered and the side dishes were very tasty as well. The place is a bit expensive but it was worth it.
