We were told how good the surf watching and food was at Tortilla Flats and it was all of that and more. Some of the best calamari we have had in Costa Rica. We also tried the nachos and a Philly Cheese Steak. Both of those were full of flavor and the servings very large. Coldest beer on the beach... More

Nice for some drinks at the beach or to grab a quick dinner. Nothing fancy but decent food and right at the beach. Laid back, alternative vibe, all sorts of people visit the place.

I have been here quite a few times. I will be honest, I have been here for Happy Hour and breakfast and dinner. The food is tasty. Even better it is only a few steps from the beach. Awesome to watch the sunset then grab some food and drinks at Tortilla Flats. I definitely would be visiting this place again.... More

We were hungry and hunting something good. Boy did we find it! My husband had the grilled mahi plate, and I had grilled mahi tacos -- sitting basically seaside with a bi-lingual waitress -- and it was just nice and funky and pleasant. The decor seemed fresh and open - with that great seabreeze blowing through. When we got ready... More

English-speaking server. Food was good, but not cheap for CR. Fun tourist place. I had grilled tuna steak. In the US, I'd order it rare, but here I ask for medium rare. Anyway, it was very good, but I should've ordered rare. It was a large tuna steak, but cost like $17-18 USD. Comparable to prices back home.

Tortilla Flats is a funky, fun beach bar where the food is good, the ocean is near and the people watching is great!! The menu has a wide variety of options and prices. We've eaten there before and would happily go back again. Truly an institution in Dominical.

This place has a great view of the ocean, interesting patronage, and wonderfully delicious food! We went for dinner one night and lunch another day. The fish dishes are very fresh and well worth their price. If they have tuna, order the tuna!!!

This was a fun place for lunch. Food isn't outstanding, but the restaurant is right by the beach and it's a fun place to sit and people watch. We'd go again.

Good place to people watch and very close to the beach, though overall nothing to write home about. The food is a mix of burgers chicken, fish and local food, though nothing surprising or too exciting. The service overall was okay, though very perfunctory.
