Really liked this place. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. We came during lunch hours and I had seen on the reviews that the dinner menu had salmon so I asked if we could get it and they said it was no problem. Also got a caesar salad and a lemon pie. Both were also great.

El Lagarto

El Lagarto

This place was delicious and the portions are huge. The meat is cooked on a hanging grill over a wood fire. All the meat was super juicy, and the vegetables were delicious. I prefer my steaks with a little more char, but the steak was perfectly medium rare. It is an open air restaurant, so if it’s really hot outside you may want to consider that. There was a torrential downpour before we got there, so the temperature was perfect. The handmade Adirondack chairs and wood tables were pretty cool. Overall it was a great experience. Be ready to eat. It was a lot of food. The meat came with a baked potato, grilled tomato with garlic butter, and a very smooth and creamy tasting baked potato.

Manuel Antonio Deli

Manuel Antonio Deli

Great place to eat a sandwich before the beach or grab it on the go. All of the meats are cured in-house, which is what makes the sandwiches so good. The bread is locally sourced from a nearby bakery. The owner herself makes you the sandwiches and it is evident she takes pride in her product.


You can add additional veggies to the sandwiches and change sauces based on your taste. I had the muffalatta sandwich with the Greek salad dressing and it was delicious. My husband had the pastrami sandwich with whole grain mustard on rye bread, perfectly made.


They will also sell the meat by the kilo if you want to make your own sandwiches at home. The meats are like nothing you’ll find in any grocery store in Costa Rica. We will be coming back!
