The burger was solid and the local craft beer hit the spot. Service took a while to get their attention, but once we did, they were friendly.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the tuna poke bowl. Big chunks of fresh fish, dressing was on point. Honestly still thinking about it. Price felt fair for what you get. Place was pretty busy but worth it.

Solid breakfast spot. Sort of Avo Toast was good, Huevos Vaqueros too. Lots of veggie options which I appreciate. Matcha latte was fine. Service was decent, nothing crazy. Place gets busy around noon, so go early if you can. 👍

Ceviche was fresh, big portion too. Good spot to grab a drink and watch the waves. Place gets busy around sunset, so you might wait a bit. But the food holds up. I&#39;ve been here a few times now, it&#39;s consistent. Not fancy, just solid.

Came for cocktails, left happy. Drinks were solid, and the live band made the vibe way better than expected. Nice spot to just chill for a bit. Didn&rsquo;t try the food though&mdash;menu looked kinda pricey for what it is. Maybe next time.

The ceviche roll caught my eye right away &mdash; sushi with a Costa Rican twist, why not. Fish was super fresh, like melt-in-your-mouth fresh. Kind of a small place but that didn&rsquo;t bother me. I&rsquo;d go back just for that roll again. Maybe next time I&rsquo;ll try something else on the menu too.

The eggs Benedict with salmon were spot on&mdash;brioche fresh, melted right in my mouth. Place has that relaxed vibe, so don&#39;t come starving and in a rush. I&#39;d ask how long the food takes if you&#39;re on a schedule. Took a bit to arrive, but honestly, the flavors made up for it.

The live music and karaoke give this place such a Pura Vida feel. Sweet pork chimichanga was solid, and the beer sampler let me try a few of their house brews without committing.

Stopped by for drinks and a bite&mdash;the cocktails were well made, not too sweet, which I appreciated. Place is green and cozy, lots of plants and warm lighting. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but the drink pairing made it work. Just note the bill comes with a 10% service charge already added, so it adds up quick.

The decor is really something&mdash;lots of unique art pieces to look at while you eat. I had the ginger shot and coconut cream bowl, both were good. Staff was friendly too. Place has a nice vibe, though it did feel a bit busy when I was there. Would come back for the atmosphere alone.

The barista actually remembered my usual order on the second visit, which caught me off guard in a good way. Coffee&#39;s solid and probably the cheapest bag of beans I&#39;ve found around town. Place gets a bit busy after 10am but that&#39;s fine. Just wish they had more seating by the window.

The orange chicken surprised me, not gonna lie. Crispy outside, juicy inside, sauce was sweet and tangy but not overloaded with sugar. Ate it all before my rice even arrived. Solid spot if you&#39;re craving that.

The ceviche here was seriously good, probably my favorite along the coast. Sat on the balcony and just watched people go by for way too long. Super chill spot to hang with friends.

Stopped in for lunch and ended up coming back almost every day. The owner Alex remembers everyone, which is nice. I had a cold local beer with the veggie burrito and it hit the spot. They have banana bread with vanilla ice cream sometimes &mdash; get it if they do. Only downside, it gets busy and you might wait a bit.

The vibe here is what pulls me in every time&mdash;lively but not chaotic. Pastries are decent, though I&#39;ve had better around town. Still, the atmosphere keeps me coming back.

Food came out quick and the staff actually checked on us a few times. Ceviche was solid, decent portion for the price. Beach bar vibe is casual, nothing fancy. Good spot if you&#39;re nearby and hungry.
