I attended a job fair at Pura Vida for hosted by Marahall Industrial Technologies. The carne en salasa was the best I've ever tasted! I enjoyed every bit of the authentic food and drinks! The host and hostesses catered to our every need and were super friendly. I can't wait to return!

Great food, drinks and service! Reasonable prices. As appetizers we had the Platano Maduro and the Chorreadas. Delish!!!! We had the Patrulla with Steak n onions and Casado Tradicional as our entrees. Awesome!!!! For drinks, hubby had the agua dulce and I tried the Spicy Pepino cocktail. Refreshing and great flavor! Kimberly was our server and she was a sweetheart! Oh and hubby is Tico and he approved! 😆

Simple service and superb attention. The waitressing staff was patient and very knowledgeable about the dishes. Although it is a costarican themed restaurant….the menus expands into more than just Spanish so you are not just limited to one style of cuisine. They must have an army in the kitchen or be super organized because waiting for food was no more than 10-15 minutes (I was there with a party of 20 people). The bar….very skilled bartender and not stingy. The drink portions were very good. (Ordered. Mojito and lime wasn’t powering anything…nor was the mint or the rum. It was just right). The bathrooms were clean…this is a very well organized restaurant.

This was my first time eating at Pura Vida Restaurant. I go to Costa Rica once a year and really enjoy the tico dishes, well this place does not disappoint! The food was incredibly delicious and are large portions. The staff are extremely friendly I had a nice conversation with Andrew before we left. I cannot wait to go back.
