Cocolores

I usually don’t eat meat ever, but when I came to Cocolores I just had to have their steak. I got it in the cracked pepper sauce with mashed potatoes and it was just perfection. It genuinely was one of the best meals in Costa Rica. They also had delicious salads with the most amazing dressing, i wish I knew the recipe. I’d definitely recommend coming here and trying their food.

Cozy, authentic restaurant by the beach with good seafood. Overall a decent experience - food was good, seafood pasta was very delicious, fried squid and calamari more like average (especially considering the price of c. 24$). Still, a nice and cozy atmosphere and attentive service all the way. Would come back and can recommend the place.

A hidden gem tucked away in front of Montezuma beach, just a minutes walk away from the main shops and strip. We dined there for the evening and had a lovely experience. The server was attentive and showed care for what he was serving and making. The music and ambience was perfect with two cute cats lounging about the outdoor restaurant, seemingly the real owners of the place. They were friendly but watch out for the tabby one (Floyd) as he got a bit grumpy after too many stokes! The fajitas and the seafood pasta were both delicious!! Both very generous portions but no problem as it was so tasty! Definitely would recommend and I have a feeling it would be more scenic and prettier in the day due to the view of the white sand beach. Thank you! :)

This seaside shack serves an incredible seafood pasta. We tried the carbonara, too. It was equally flawless. Al dente with perfectly pitched flavours. I don't know who is in the kitchen, but they deserve a hug for making my life just a little bit better. The restaurant itself really leans into that beach-shack vibe. At night, the mishmash of wood and plastic furniture and coloured lights give it a real authentic feel, but in the stark afternoon sun it feels like a bit of a hygiene risk. Just keep reminding yourself why you are there. THE AMAZING FOOD.

Service was mixed. One waiter was really friendly, one was quite moody. Food was ok. I wouldn’t order the coconut curry again. It was very bland. The seafood cazuela was ok with the wine sauce. Some of the seafood was a little hard. The side dishes are mashed potato or rice. I wouldn’t chose to repeat either dish again if I’m honest. It was also pretty expensive for the meal. Think the other sodas around give food that’s much better value for money.

Beautiful, ocean front, outdoor dining! The food was spectacular, and service was outstanding and attentive. Their menu covers nearly anything you are craving: from pork tenderloin, steak, pasta, and the most amazing seafood! Wine was tasty despite having limited selection. However, my guests were very pleased with the choices of cocktails! A jewel in a very small village!

Charming location right on the beach with delicious food. We loved the heaping seafood on lovely garlicky pasta and the local craft beer. The shrimp fajitas were well cooked and came on the traditional sizzling platter with sour cream, beans, cheese, pico de gallo and little tortillas.

Another of those inevitable of Montezuma, what is there to say, service and atmosphere is 10/10, the lighting, the location, the staff, all is perfect in that domain, now food, and this is one of the place where they shine, portion are more than acceptable (worth noting the photo I posted as three squid, normal plate comes with two, it's an extra I ask for as they are sooooo good), also worth noting the delicious salad they serve before you meal, that dressing is exquisite, and that delicious bread, seriously, the cuisine restaurant of Montezuma, enjoy your stay, there is enough in this small village to satisfy your taste buds and this is definitely one of them
