3.5/5 for the food quality and the overall experience. I wouldn't mind going back, but I won't go out of my way to do so. I was impressed by how much food they serve--I almost always finish the entire meal, but here I didn't even come close. Good, but not great. more

We had a very enjoyable late lunch, very early dinner (linner) yesterday at Cafe Poca Cosa. The restaurant was comfortable, nicely air-conditioned with friendly, professional service, linens, etc. As stated by another reviewer, water, chips and salsa are brought immediately. My dining companion thought the chips and salsa were very good. I thought they were good, but just ok (after... more
