4.6 / 5.0(338 reviews)

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant multiple times during my stay — and for good reason. The balcony view is absolutely stunning, offering the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and memorable evening. The food was consistently excellent, with prices comparable to other nearby restaurants. One standout dish was the Stuffed Chili Pepper, which was so good I ordered it more than once. What truly set the experience apart, though, was the exceptional service. Our server, Gabriel, brought a fantastic energy to the evening — friendly, engaging, and genuinely fun to be around. His service elevated the entire experience. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning guest, I highly recommend this place for dinner. Great food, beautiful views, and top-notch service — it’s a combination that’s hard to beat. Vista Verde is a must eat at restaurant if you're in the area. The atmosphere is very cool and comfortable indoors and in the patio. The coffee is good and we loved the patacones for appetizer. My shredded chicken tacos and sweet plantains was a portion bigger than I could finish and was an explosion of flavor. Every taco was stuffed to the brim. My husband's around con pollo was also delicious and a very big serving. The service was quick, helpful, and friendly and the prices were a bargain for the quality and amount of food you receive. Burger was amazing! Full of flavor, it was huge and I was not able to finish. We also had ribeye and was delicious. My kid got a kids quesadilla and couldn’t finish either. The strawberry with milk juice was on point! We definitely recommend this place. They have parking available, place very clean, staff super friendly

I'll begin with the idea that we would go again. The food was great, once properly cooked, but we ordered two whole fried fish and both were literally raw inside. They dropped them again in the oil and they were much better then, but by that time the rest of dinner was half gone and we were full. A small error that made a big difference. The shrimp accompaniments, garlic sauce, salad and patacones were all terrific, as was the three dip appetizer. They aren't used to making an Old Fashioned though, so you're probably better off sticking with a fruity drink or even water. Portions were very large and we could have really gotten one less meal. Maybe two for our party of four. The night time view isn't much, but service was fast and very friendly.

Fantastic! Awesome! 5 stars across the board. We took our kids and there was something for everyone. Smoothies, drinks, apps, main course - all of it. Service is so kind. They are master upsellers, so watch that, but it's a fun dining experience. Entirely recommend.
