4.5 / 5.0(1,937 reviews)
The place is very appealing! We started with pina colada and the gorilla biz i believe it was called. They were super good. Then we ordered jalapeño poppers (order of 3) and focaccia mozzarella and garlic. They were very good, the poppers could have used some seasoning or salt but we added some and they were awesome 👌 then we ordered the beeflovers pizza 🍕 and I really enjoy thin crust pizza😀 it was very tasty! I highly recommend it 👌 the service in all Costa Rica has been great. But the restaurants of this chain have been the most welcoming I would say. They also speak very good English, I didn't have to translate to my partner at all their locations. Oh, they also havw costco hot dogs hehe I highly recommend you looking into their restaurants like anaconda, avión, chiquita cabaña and the other locations they own. Amazing food and great service! We came in with limited time and informed our waiter right away—he was very accommodating. Our check and our food came quickly. The food was excellent! I ordered the grilled chicken wrap as a salad and it was prefect! One of the best salads I’ve ever had! My brothers both got pizza and they loved it! Cool environment, amazing food, great service! Definitely a must-try in Manuel Antonio! Fantastic pizza in the jungle! 🌴 I had the Diavola pizza and it was everything I wanted – cheesy, meaty, spicy, and perfectly peppery. My wife’s pizza had pineapple and coconut, which surprised us with how delicious it was. The cheese pulls were beautiful, and the atmosphere was incredible – it honestly felt like enjoying pizza right in the middle of the jungle. A must-visit for pizza lovers in Quepos!

Great restaurant. They serve pizzas, burgers and other appetizers. The food is delicious and the portions very generous. The decor is beautiful, with trees in the middle of the restaurant, you feel like you’re in the jungle. The experience is very peaceful and calming, you just don’t want to leave ! Ronald is very nice and helpful. Ask for him if you get the chance to go !
