Restaurante Nuestra Tierra

After a long walk around downtown San José, we decided to have lunch at Restaurante Nuestra Tierra. We were welcomed with Caribbean music, and the manager even played maracas and invited us to join in, which created a fun and lively atmosphere from the start. The food was really good and we enjoyed it a lot, although I’m not very familiar with this type of cuisine, so there may be some personal bias. Still, it’s a place I would recommend if you’re looking for a Caribbean-style experience in the city. It’s also conveniently located in front of the National Museum, making it a great spot to rest after visiting the museum.

This place as too fun. There was live music and they played familiar stuff with Costa Rican flair. We had to get up and sing you are my sunshine with them lol. Food was very good. Recommend the pork belly and guacamole.

Servicio/gratuity is included in the bill, don't give more money if the waiter says you can include a tip on top of that, scammed. Some food was ok, some was not that great. It is a bit of a tourist trap considering it looks nice, food is only ok, and waiter tricked us, prices are really high. I'm American but also native Costa Rican, I won't go back.

What a fantastic restaurant. The service was beyond friendly. Food was tasty and cooked well. Menus available in English so that helps this Gringo. The Chicharrón was the best I’ve ever had, highly recommend.

The food was just, so incredibly good that no other word can describe, amazing. And the wait for the food was quick! The servers were super funny and awesome. The atmosphere felt like a big meet with your uncles and cousins. I loved this place very very much, definitely going back.

We went here for a group dinner. Amazing service and amazing food. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Great live music! I highly recommend.

Some of the most delicious fish in the country and Costa Rica has some of the best tasting food I've tried on the planet. Iceland and Costa Rica are my two top countries with the best tasting food so far! The staff is super friendly. They handed us a banner, a flag and dressed our heads with hats for a picture to remember our visit! They had a live band and brought the guests onto the dance floor with the band! If you want a unique experience, delicious authentic food with lively welcoming locals, then come visit Host Minor, our most gracious host for a memorable dining event! PURA VIDA!!! =D

The restaurant looks quite nice, and the dishes are presented appetizingly, but unfortunately, the taste leaves much to be desired. The meat was cooked with an excessive amount of fat, which ruined the experience. The only tasty dish was the salmon carpaccio, and the octopus, which unfortunately turned out to be rubbery. The chicken with rice was also tried, but it was overcooked, and the rice had no distinct flavor. As for the drinks, they were standard, without any special highlights. The espresso coffee was horrible — sour and unpleasant for coffee lovers. The service was good, but considering the price, I wouldn’t return to this restaurant. For this amount, you can find much better places with quality food and service. Recommendation: Time to change the chef! :)
