Salad lovers will delight in the Ensalada Verde con Camarones, a refreshing mix of greens and succulent shrimp, or the classic Caesar Salad with Chicken. If you're in the mood for something warm and comforting, the Olla de Carne Costarricense, a rich and hearty beef stew, or the flavorful Sopa de Mariscos are perfect options.

Moving on to main courses, the Casado Tradicional embodies the essence of Costa Rican home cooking, with a generous plate of rice, beans, plantains, salad, and your choice of protein. Seafood lovers can indulge in fresh Ceviche con Chips or perfectly grilled Salmon and Camarones. For those craving something more substantial, the Steaks a la Parrilla are cooked to perfection, while pasta enthusiasts will enjoy the creamy Fettuccine Alfredo or the bold Vodka Rigatoni.

Complement your meal with delicious sides like Maduros (sweet plantains) or Queso Frito (fried cheese), and finish on a sweet note with a heavenly Tres Leches or a classic Tiramisu.

Pair your meal with a refreshing Limonada or a tropical Batido en Leche, and for coffee lovers, a smooth Capuchino or bold Expreso is the perfect way to end your dining experience.
