Del Mar Taco Shop

Quepos to Uvita


On the approach to the beach this casual surfer hangout serves some of the area's best tacos (fresh fish, shrimp, beef, chicken or veggie). The chips are mixed with handmade nachos – pair them with the superb guacamole. There's a variety of hot sauces to slather over your order. On Taco Tuesday (April to November) all tacos cost just US$2.
