Green Papaya Taco Bar

This is a really fun place to eat! They have swing chairs outside with bar tables, as well as regular tables. We all enjoyed the food and the portions were a good size. It was a little pricier than other places we ate on our trip, but that’s to be expected in Tamarindo. The service here was also excellent, they brought toy blocks out for our 2 year old to play with and they were very friendly.

Green Papaya was an absolute treat. The food, environment, and hospitality was second to none. Claudia our server went above and beyond to ensure my family (wife + two kids) enjoyed all aspects of the dining experience. The swings as a seating option are a hit for all ages. We will definitely be back

Cannot recommend this place enough! We ordered a chicken burrito and the Caribbean coconut curry with chicken. They were both so delicious. Portion sizes were great and the homemade spicy sauce was so tasty. I also had the watermelon jalapeño margarita and my boyfriend had the red sangria, both were great. Our waiter Carlos was really friendly and provided great service. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

The food was incredible - the tuna was the best I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked and great portions. Super cute place with great cocktails and great service! Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for a delicious dinner spot!

THE BEST food we had during our 8 day Costa Rica vacation. Our server Vicky was friendly and helpful. The spicy watermelon margaritas were super delicious and the food was 10/10 - we even bought the hot sauce to take home!! Absolutely recommend!

They have a separate and very good vegan menu. We had the vegan tacos with corn tortillas, vegan quesadillas and Buddha Bowl. Large serves, fast service and nice atmosphere.

Highly recommended for vegans visiting Tamarindo! They have a whole separate vegan menu. I ordered the Buddha bowl, which was delicious. They offered some of their homemade hot sauce, and it was the best thing I've eaten on our trip! The swing seating is super fun too.

We loved our tacos and the chips and salsa at Green Papaya. Everything was delicious. It was our most expensive meal in Costa Rica which was surprising but we did have a group of 8 and would still recommend. We spent $250 for the 8 of us and we each had two tacos, chips and salsa and soda.
