Almendros Cantina

Loved this place! Super friendly staff and great service. The menu is uncomplicated with a nice variety of options. Everything was fresh and delicious, generous portions and good quality. The prices are fair and it feels very local. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, with nice art, music and vibe, plus it's super clean and airy.

Several years ago, lunch with fam/friends. On approach, slow, as parking is non-existent, Rua National 160. *** Available on Sundays only our Olla de Carne. ***

The food was very good and tasty. They took some time but they did apologize and gave us a glass of water without asking for it which was a nice surprise. The Chirripo options were amazing and we also got the brownie with ice cream and they had the detail to ask if we were allergic to almonds. Very clean and we'll organized. The restaurant is almost open doors. For the price, quality and service is the best option around Nosara.

The arroz con pollo is the best in Costa Rica! But really all of their food is great!

We went to Almendros Cantina tonight at the recommendation of the B&B we were staying at & we were super pleased. This place is really great, we loved the candlelit tables, soft lighting, open kitchen & the food was amazing. The space is clean & we received good service. My margaritas were yummy & strong. My son ordered a burger which was made with high quality beef & I had the shrimp with rice. The shrimp were fresh & the dish was really yummy. We even decided to get their desert which was a warm, home made brownie served with vanilla ice cream. Another perk was this place is priced right, we have been shocked with the restaurant prices & food quality in No$ara but here you get incredible food & mixed drinks that won’t make you feel like you were just ripped off. We are going back tomorrow for lunch.

The food was great! Very friendly staff! I would definitely recommend!

This place is great. Owners and waiters are awesome! Drinks were great. Food was delicious I had the calamari. Great vibe felt at home.

My absolute favorite place in the area. The shrimp quesadilla was amazing and so was the ceviche!
