The steep driveway leading down to this open-air restaurant is within a few feet of the Barba Roja parking lot but is easily overlooked (watch closely when you're up at the top of the hill). The restaurant is across a footbridge from its parking lot and is set against a jungle-covered hillside. Far below, you can see the ocean if you're here during the day.

Grilled seafood is the specialty, but there's also a wide range of international treats including sashimi, fish burritos, and Caribbean chicken. I highly recommend starting things off with the Honduran tuna ceviche. Desserts are decadent, and you can order a variety of margaritas by the pitcher.
