The ceviche mixto was so good we grabbed another one to go. Bartender knows what they&#39;re doing with the cocktails too. Solid spot.

Ceviche was fresh, chicken from the fire oven had that smoky thing going on. Homemade hot sauces stole it though, really good. Staff friendly enough, no complaints. Place felt local, not touristy. Solid meal for what we paid.

Stopped in for lunch and grabbed a table near the open kitchen. Watching the ladies cook everything fresh is kinda nice, adds a homey vibe. Had the casado, plate was loaded, definitely not leaving hungry. That spicy pickled sauce on the table? Pour it on everything. Washed it down with a cold Imperial, went down smooth. Service was chill, no one rushing you out. Solid spot for a relaxed meal.

Been coming here for a while now. The volcano view still gets me every time, even after multiple visits. Had dinner again last week, food was solid and portions are still generous. Service was friendly too, nothing fancy but they take care of you. Place gets busy around sunset, so grab a seat early if you can.

The Tico chicken was the star&mdash;really flavorful and nicely plated. Beef dish looked a bit dull and small though. Still, the old lodge vibe made it a decent stop.

Stopped here for our last meal in Costa Rica and the arroz con pollo hit the spot. Patacones were solid too. Service was quick, and it&#39;s right by the main park so easy to walk around after.

The buffalo cauliflower tacos were so good&mdash;huge portions and that crunch was on point 🌮 spicy sauce had just the right kick. Would totally come back here with my friends for a casual bite.

Came for the food, stayed for the karaoke. The servers were friendly and helpful, especially with menu recommendations for us English speakers.

Came for the buffet night and honestly left full. Tried a bit of everything, flavors were on point. Staff kept checking if we needed anything, which was nice. Place got a little busy later but that didn&#39;t ruin it. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and hungry.

The casado with grilled chicken was solid&mdash;meat was juicy and seasoned just right. Sides were good too, especially the beans. Tamarind drink? Yeah, that&rsquo;s the one to get. Portion felt fair for the price, not huge but enough to fill you up. I&rsquo;d come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The grilled chicken salad and empanada sandwich were pretty good. Staff were patient even with my broken Spanish. Smoothies were decent too.

The breakfast buffet had a solid spread&mdash;fresh fruit, pastries, and the omelet bar was the highlight. Made my mornings easy, no complaints. The view while eating was a nice touch too.

Been coming here for months now. The food stays consistent every single time, which is hard to find. Cozy spot in San Ram&oacute;n, never disappoints.

Service was quick and the staff friendly. Owner came by to explain the menu, nice personal touch. Got my food fast, exactly what I needed for a lunch break.

Stopped here for breakfast on the way to Arenal. Big portions, fair price, and you get a view of the volcano while you eat. Coffee was solid too.

Stopped by for breakfast near the central park. Had the Gallo Pinto with eggs and coffee&mdash;solid portion for the price. Service was quick, no fuss. Place gets busy but they handle it fine. Good enough if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple before heading out.
