Marisquería Jiuberths

Top choice in Quepos


Run by a hardworking fisherman's family, this institution with brightly tiled floors serves the best seafood in town, yet is practically unknown to visitors because it's tucked away in the back streets of Quepos. Whether you have the catch of the day or the satisfying fish soup, ceviche or seafood mains, the portions are generous and the service attentive. Cash only.

Follow Ruta 235 out of town and it will be signposted on the left; it's a few minutes up an unpaved road. If in doubt, ask locals for directions as it's well known.
