Las Olas - Puntarenas

Honestly this was the worst meal I have had in the 6 years I have been coming to CR (no exaggeration). We had a group of 7 people and arrived at around 8:30pm. Our waitress was really friendly and chatty, taking our our order. It took about 40 minutes for our drinks to arrive and the food more than 90 minutes for the food to arrive! While waiting we kept asking where our food was and the manager unapologetically told us they were busy and this was normal. I had ordered the Mariscada (seafood platter) and my wife the fried whole fish. My Mariscada, when it eventually came, was inedible full of tough foul tasting shellfish and literally RAW lobster. My wife's whole fish was terrible, not crispy or tasty at all, we think it was probably reheated. The patacones we ordered were overcooked and soggy. The rest of the dishes people reported as ranging from mediocre to bad. The ceviche we ordered never arrived and we eventually cancelled it. How long does it take to put premade ceviche on a dish and add some chips or patacones. That should have come out with the drinks. At the end, they did agree to take Mariscada off the bill but only if they replaced it with the ceviche we never received. We will not go back which is a shame because we now have a house here in Jacó and are always on the lookout for gems. This is not one. Avoid this place!

I really enjoy this place, the food is good with great prices. Love her chap. The servers are super nice and even try to help me with my Spanish!

Love this place 2 years we have eaten there. Strong drinks.

Recently discover this restaurant I think it's age to say it's my favorite Costa Rica cuisine in the country! All I've tried is amazing and great price! You cannot come to Jacó beach without trying this amazing food. At night there is also karaoke! A must try

Great luck drinking. The food was amazing, large portion sizes and very reasonable prices. The grilled tuna was some of the best we ever had. Also the vegetarian nachos tried, which were excellent.
