Restaurante La Parada

My wife and I ordered the mega angus burger (came with fries/wedges), small supreme pizza (ground beef/ham/sweet peppers) and chicken tacos (came with guac, salsa, and refried beans and 3 chips. The food was served quickly and accurately. My burger was cooked medium as I had ordered and tasted great. The tacos were filling and flavorful, especially with the house spicy sauce and salsa. The pizza was hefty with toppings but the dough was light enough to balance it out. We honestly came here without the highest expectations but left satisfied with the food, service and ambiance. With a coke zero, the total was about 21,000colones or about $42 USD.

Came in super tired after a long day tour. Hawaiian pizza was good and nice outdoor seating seeing the park with all the Christmas lights still up and shining. Service was great too!

The burger was great, the sizzling Churrasco was magnificent! Best food I had in Costa Rica so far. Christian our waiter was very friendly and polite. I love this place. I'm going back here tom :)

The food was outstanding. They even went above and beyond and cooked extra eggs for our two year old son. The fruit juices were delicious! Nice location! Highly recommended!

The food here was authentic and absolutely delicious! Wonderful atmosphere with even better service…special shout out to Ramon for the fire show he gave us table side with the steak! Will definitely be coming back next time we’re here💯

We ordered the soups (was a cold rainy day for us locals) and they were so filling and flavourful. Would recommend the ranchera soup- comes with chicken and lots of vegetables with a side of rice. The ceviche served with plantains is also really great! We also ordered two seafood platters and they were very filling with perfectly cooked steamed vegetables. Gin & tonics are awesome and the espresso martinis 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

The food wasn’t very authentic and the tacos and casados have been options for cheaper in walking distance. This place is aimed at tourists for sure. the service was good, and Christian was friendly and spoke great english.

Had a great meal and drinks at Restaurante La Parada in February 2025. It's a really nicely decorated restaurant with friendly, polite staff. We had a couple of cocktails while choosing our food (Caiparinhas - they were goooood), then chose the chicken tacos and shrimp tacos (with a glass of wine each). The food was delicious - I think the chicken tacos were marginally better than the shrimp tacos (but it's a very close thing). If we'd had longer in La Fortuna, we would definitely have gone back to this place....would recommend it 100%.
