Camino al Cerro Catering & Pícnic Service

I don’t know what this previous poster was talking about but this restaurent is excellent if you are visiting the Rincon de la Vieja park or staying at Hacienda Guachipelin but don’t want to eat anymore at the restaurant as there isn’t anything for almost 20 km.

Came at 1800 since we stopped earlier and they said they close at 1900 on Sundays. Service was friendly, the waitress was a bit shy! We ordered the beef casado (4800 colones/$8, same price as the one down the road, cheaper than the hotel, but more expensive than in town... if you want to drive another 20 minutes to save 2000 colones) and the gallo con pollo. They came out very quickly after a free bowl of carrot soup (excellent!!) They were more refined than your normal soda and tastes great. good sized portions. Excellent plaintains!!

We were offered free cake at the end at no charge.

Should have eaten here for lunch and other dinners instead of the hotel (however the steak is very good at hacienda!) #costarica #puravida #rincondelavieja

Local soda in Curubande. If you are staying in the area or passing through on your way to or from the national park, Rincon de la Vieja, this a great place for a meal. Food is freshly prepared, flavors are great. The people who own and run the restaurant are very warm and welcoming. They also care about making their business environmentally friendly. Try the traditional cansado or tasty pasta. They don't disappoint!

I am so glad we found this place. We decided to venture out after eating at the Hacienda Guachipelin's overpriced dinner one night. We had a car so drove out 10 minutes and found this place. It's such an authentic restaurant with great food. The Owner was very friendly and he explained the menu very well. The best part if the neighborhood. Even though just few miles away from the tourist place it gives a very small town feeling. Do try!

My wife and I came here after an excursion for a bite to eat. So friendly and welcoming, had some great soup and an amazing lunch. Very authentic, simple, and generous. I will never forget that meal.

Looking for authentic local cuisine? This is the place to go. After a full morning of hiking near Rincon de la Vieja volcano this stop for a lunch was an excellent choice. The food was outstanding and the service was great. Eric is a gracious and personable host. My wife and I are here for two months escaping the harsh Chicago winter and rest assured we will be frequenting this great establishment several times in the weeks to come. Well done, Eric!

We loved this place - all 11 of us, ages 73 to 3. Food was delicious and the staff was very accommodating. They were serving for a wedding (Dec. 2018) and yet still were willing to have us. We even danced with the owner on the way out. Wonderful home cooked food.

Really delicious, very friendly and low prices! Great!!

Food was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the portions are good sized and you get the feeling of homemade food.

Sooo delicious, had a great big appetite after a hike at volcano and this lunch was more than satisfying.

Nice restaurant with good food on way down from the national park, worth a stop if you are hungry.

I very much recommend this place! Great food, good service and not expensive at all!

Best food around Rincon de la Vieja National Park

The food was delicious and you could see that the owner was passionate about it.

Kleines familiäres landestypisches Restaurant. Echtes costa-ricanisches Essen, frisch gekocht.
Umfangreiche Speisekarte auch mit vegetarischen Speisen. Wir bekamen ein typisches Cassado, vorweg gab es eine Gemüsesuppe und zum Nachtisch Milchreis mit Zimt - praktisch ein kleines Menü. Vor- und Nachspeise gab es einfach dazu, ebenso wie je einen leckeren Fruchtsaft.
Der Chef hat uns noch liebevoll in Heimatkunde fortgebildet- anhand der im Restaurant ausgestellten Töpfereien.
Kosten: für drei Personen umgerechnet 25€. Total ok. Visa und andere KK möglich. WLAN frei.
Fazit: Viel besseres Essen als in der Hascienda Guachipelin - einer riesigen Ferienanlage 5,5 km entfernt, in der wir gewohnt haben. Unbedingt ausprobieren!

El lugar es muy acogedor y muy lindo decorado. La comida deliciosa, La foto es de un casado con pescado y el jugo de melón con limón delicioso. El dueño muy amable nos asesoró para ir a las termas y fue muy atento con nosotros.

Après 3h de route nous sommes tombés sur cet excellent petit soda. Le propriétaire est super, aux petits soins avec les clients et la nourriture savoureuse. Il y'a un parking derrière.

Excelente lugar y la atención fue increible. 100% recomendado para los que visitan Hacienda Guachipelin pero no quieren comer ahí.

Trotz der guten Bewertungen wurden wir nochmals positiv überrascht. Die kostenlose Suppe vorweg gab es auch beim Mittagessen, auch einen Smoothie aufs Haus, da die gewünschte Speise nicht mehr verfügbar war. Hervorragendes Essen zu sehr kleinem Preis.
Insgesamt ist alles sehr einfach gehalten aber sehr sauber und freundlich.

Sehr gutes frisches Essen, begleitet von klassischer Musik.

Propriétaire très gentil, accueil chaleureux. Les repas sont délicieux aux prix réconfortants lorsque l'on sort de l'hôtel hacienda guachipelin qui n'hésitent pas à jouer sur notre statut de touristes.
