The pina colada was terrific. The meal was a huge disappointment. Neither the steak or vegetables had any flavor. It is not worth the price.

One of the very best restaurants on Samara playa. Right on the beach you can see your food being grilled wether it is beef fish or camarones. Food is served with grilled vegetables all of this is based on simple and fresh products. Do not...expect any comfort as you may find in a traditional restaurant but it is fun and service is cool !More

This restaurant does an amazing job with grilled foods. Had their Mahi Mahi one night and their pizza on another which was plenty for two people. Being right on the beach with a cocktail in hand during sunset is the best!

Save yourself the visit. This place is slow in service and overpriced. As there are so many great restaurants in Samara it's a waste of time and money in my opinion.

I'd read a lot about the great food and the fantastic location. Both of these I can't fault, but it came as a real surprise how unfriendly and uninterested the servers were, especially as everyone else in Samara is so open and friendly.

Just OK. We made reservations for NYE, having been here in years past. The new location is lovely on the beach. I found this to be overpriced for what it was - the salad was limp and the only dressing option was oil and vinegar....The sides served were a whole roasted tomato, zucchini, and potato. The NY strip was tough, but the tenderloin was good. The wait staff was having a hard time with the number of tables, and towards the end of our meal we were being stared down by a group waiting for a table, although there were plenty of available tables.More

Great service, great atmosphere and the best food we found in Samara (if you are American, hah). Fire roasted vegetables and meat and wondeful desserts!

Fabulous dinner! After reading good reviews we were a little hesitant when we walked in as it was eerily quiet with no music on for atmosphere. We sat anyway & ordered. Food was simple but amazing. Tenderloin, pork, mahi all great as was the service....A must stop in Samara.More

Delicious steaks! The surf & turf with grilled vegetables and a baked potato (about $30) was a treat but worth it :) Very friendly staff, my kids loved being able to run around on the beach right next to our table.

We actually ate there twice. This is our 4th visit to Samara but this is the first trip we actually ate here. It was so good we went back. It’s now located on the beach which is fantastic. Super special place. Great food a little...pricey but cheaper than what we would pay in the states. We will return next time we’re back to SamaraMore

Everything is cooked on the grill at El Lagarto and the steak is very good--it reminded us of a good filet back home. Service is good and the view of the bay is very nice. I recommend this restaurant to anyone craving a great steak....I have the stuffed calamari which was tasty but a tad chewy.More

Tucked on a side street this place can be hard to find- but it is well worth the effort for the potatoes alone. If you like steak- please try this place- you won't be disappointed.
