El Hicaco Seafood

“This is a very cozy and romantic place. The food is delicious with beautiful presentation. The cocktails arrive very quickly, and the kitchen works fast as well. The waiters are very friendly ☺️Highly recommend!” *****

So many delicious sounding options. Our choices for our first visit are as follows Lobster w/ garlic sauce mash potatoes with veggies. The veggies alone were seasoned to perfection. Imagine remarking about onion and zucchini and there’s lobster on your plate! The shrimp with rice sounds simple but it’s thoroughly satisfying. We got sat right away without a reservation but to get the best tables over looking the water. It rained while we were there and our seats were covered unlike the best seats in the house lol. So be prepare to move if you do get those ocean view seats and bad weather. Jacob our server was great and didn’t steer us wrong. We will be back to see him.

The food wasn’t bad but I’ve notice when you’re with bigger groups in this part of Costa Rica, that try to bring everyone’s orders out at once instead of them bringing it as they are ready. My New York steak was not hot, it was barely warm. Outside of that, everyone enjoyed their food. I did NOT like their calamari. The flavor was good but it was too chewy. The lobster bisque was really good. I didn’t care for the drinks. I’m not much of a drinker but could tell they barely put liquor. The food alone was good enough for me to be willing to come back with a small group so my food is hot 😉 Also! The oysters were good and it was my first time trying them.

We enjoyed watching the sunset and having dinner here! The ceviche and calamari were some of the best we’ve ever had. My husband enjoyed his fried red snapper. And I liked my octopus but it was too chewy. Overall really good and highly recommend!

Nice al fresco dining, excellent seafood, however check your bill carefully, we were charged $66 US for 2 margarita’s that looked gorgeous but did not taste very good. We complained about the ridiculous price and they reduced the price 20%, still grossly overcharged.

Beautiful dining experience at El Hicaco, a beach side restaurant in Jaco, CR. The service was phenomenal. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. The cocktails were lovely and tasty. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

We stumbled upon this resturant on my boyfriend’s birthday and it was the best decision! I still think about the garlic lobster and the creamy mash potato. We were craving some champagne and they had some excellent options. They made us feel really special and the location is perfect for eating fresh seafood while looking out to sea. Would recommend for any special occasion & definitely child friendly and spacious as well.

Service was excellent, so was the atmosphere, food was good but wasn't worth the price tag. I got the surf & turf. My shrimps were very cold, lobster was over-cooked, but steak was good. The chocolate mousse dessert was excellent.... If I went back I'd try something different...
