“Healthy, fresh, good”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 5, 2012

We had the avocado sandwich and the tuna steak sandwich. Both good, but not inexpensive. The restaurant is interesting and in a good location. They also show movies at night, if you need something to do.

“Our favorite place in Montezuma”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 4, 2012

The breakfast menu was good, the lunch menu was fantastic, and the dinner menu was great. Perfect place for vegetarians and tex-mex fans. They also had all of the traditional Costa Rican dishes, sushi, and some other choices thrown in there. A bit pricy, but good for the quality of the food. The majority of the staff spoke English very well but sometimes confused edits made to an order. I would highly recommend the Buddah Burrito, the Quesadillas, and the Traditional Black Bean Soup, but would stay away from the nachos because the cheese re-hardened before I even got my plate. Movies with dinner were a great catch, although some nights were better than others.

“Good vegan options”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2012

I had the veggie fajitas, which came with three little fried tortilla cups filled with beans, salsa, and guacamole. Very tasty!
