Sabor Español

This spot far exceeded my hopeful expectations. My dad’s family is from Madrid and i have grown up with Spanish food and know how incredible it can be and this was the best I’ve ever had. The Mediterranean influence is delicious and the chef came around to everyone to personally check in and introduce himself. It felt really special and intimate. An experience, not just a dinner. We got the last table without having a reservation and felt so lucky it worked out that way. Everything is super fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Our favorite Uvita restaurant so far.

Can’t recommend this place enough. The property where this restaurant is located is quite magical and pleasing to the eye. To make matter even better, the staff were very friendly to us: explaining some details about the food and making suggestions. We got tasty natural drinks and for starting we couldn’t choose better with a ‘Choricitos en vino’ it was perfect. For the main entree we got the ‘Seafood Paella’ for 2 (bigger than pictured. That was the first plate of it.) It took a while to cook like 30mins, as noted in the menu, so take that into consideration but it definitely pays off. It’s just simply delicious and the presentation + how they serve it was easily was one of the highlights of our trip. For dessert, we got the ‘Piña flameada con helado’; it was very good too. Last but not least, we got as a treat from the chef a shot of Baileys and Flor de Caña Rum. The chef talked to us a couple of times and we really enjoyed that. Amazing experience and I highly recommend this place.

This was, without a doubt, the best meal I had during my trip to Costa Rica. The dishes were beautifully presented, the quality of the ingredients was exceptional, and the flavors were bold and unforgettable. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The chef was not only skilled but also open and genuinely cared about each guest, ensuring everyone felt welcome and appreciated. An unforgettable dining experience that I highly recommend!

Ate here 2 days in a row, the food was amazing, but what makes this place special is the owner/chef you can tell he is passionate about food and it shows in his meals. Everything we ate was great, flavorful and nicely presented.

Amazing food! Authentic Spanish food, please do yourself a favour and have the paella or black rice, you won’t regret this. Also the service is very very good. Nice people, the chef comes to the table to talk to you personally. If I could give 10 stars, I would

A fantastic restaurant that is just a few minutes walk from the beach. Chef Heri really cares about his customers' experience and makes sure to connect with every table at least once during their meal. The staff are attentive and professional. I enjoyed a bottle of red that I didn't finish and was able to take home with me. The mixed paella is SO delicious and one of the best I've ever had (Chef Heri is from Ibiza Spain) and the dessert was lovely as well. I highly recommend this restaurant

best family own restaurant in Uvita!! the chef is the best chef i every had i wish he could be my abuelo🥲

Wow! We took our parents to Sabor Español for a special dinner on their last night in town and we were all blown away! The food was outstanding — every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. And the service was outstanding! You can tell that everyone working there has a passion for what they do. The mixed paelle and various tapas were absolutely fabulous, but I think everyone's favorite was the bacon wrapped bananas and chicken skewers. This dish was so flavorful and unique (to us) and incredibly delicious! We can't wait to go back!
