A popular Costa Rica spot, located just across from the beach, on the popular traffic circle near the center of town, Fiesta del Mar specializes in seafood, steaks and chicken cooked over a raging wood fire and coals.

Try the grilled steak or whole fish in garlic sauce. They also have typical Costa Rican-style roast chicken. The open-air dining area is edged with greenery and has thatch roof, so it feels very tropical. There's live music by a local marimba band most nights. This is also a good place for an inexpensive Costa Rican breakfast.
