Surf Caribbean Food serves up terrific natural fruit shakes and a big variety of food from Tico to Mexican. The guacamole is outstanding. The pico de gallo memorable. The Spanish hostess is super accommodating and intuitive with kids. We visited here last October as well as again this April- our 4 year old remembered the shakes they were that yummy!... More

This place is a great spot for Cahuita. TOTALLY welcoming, friendly service treating you like a temporary member of the family. Great selection of well-prepared Caribbean food but also a great Mex selection to break it up from the daily casados (and pinto gallo). We were a family of 8 in Cahuita for 4 nights and we ate here 2... More

My boyfriend and I spent 5 nights in Cahuita and had our best meals here. At dinner, the pineapple juice was so good, we split 3 large ones between the 2 of us. I had the chicken casado at our waiter's recommendation and my boyfriend had the fish filet. Both dishes were delicious and plentiful. The next day, we stopped... More

As a regular visitor to Cahuita, we eat at this restaurant quite often during out month long stay. The food and service is fantastic. The atmosphere is intimate in comparison to some other locations where the music is too loud. The staff are friendly, courteous and very helpful with teaching us our Spanish! The prices are definitely reasonable for the... More

Had a great meal here and enjoyed the atmosphere and location, set along the "main"street of Cahuita. Their guacamole and large patacones were so good so good we ordered some" to go" for our beach picnic the following day. We also enjoyed delicious tropical cocktails and a pork rice dish and chicken fajitas.Great food,good value,good service.

There are a number of places to eat along that strip. This one is a little tucked in behind which gives it a nice feel. The food is reasonably good. The service is very good. I would like to have seen more spices in the jerk chicken but they may be catering to tourist tastes. This place is generally my... More

Great service, friendly people, good food, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere. My husband had a casado and thought it was excellent. My vegetarian nachos were more than adequate and the portion was huge. We didn't eat anywhere else in Cahuita and so can't compare this place to others but we were happy eating lunch there.

Tons of menu options, chill atmosphere, friendly service and really reasonably priced. They had typical Costa Rican fare, mexican dishes and some Caribbean flavor too. Portions were huge. We really could have shared one appetizer and one main dish and have been stuffed with yumminess.
