Hode's Place

San Ignacio


Locals love this rambling barn-sized place just north of the city center. A large terrace restaurant opening onto a citrus orchard and kids' playground, it's a popular spot with families or for an evening drink. Friendly service and satisfying food – from burritos and fajitas to steaks, seafood and rice and beans – complete the recipe.
