Nuestra Tierra
A taxidermied bull’s head greets you at this country restaurant, where the theme is Costa Rican spit and sawdust. Cheery waiters deliver wooden platters piled with heaping casados to hordes of hungry tourists and Tico families seated at rustic picnic-style tables. Portions are large, the food is good and the prices reasonable.

Monchados
Something of a Quepos institution, this long-standing Mex-Carib spot is always bustling with dinner-goers who line up to try traditional Limón-style dishes and Mexican standards. Food here is eclectic, innovative and never bland, a theme that is also reflected in the vibrant decorations and fairly regular live music.

Miss Edith's
This long-time local restaurant serves a laundry-list of Caribbean specialties, including jerk chicken, rice and beans, and potatoes stewed in garlic – in addition to a number of vegetarian options. It’s a famed spot that sometimes rests on its laurels, with cooking that is off-and-on and somewhat indifferent service.
