El Pelicano

Top choice in Central Pacific Coast


Right on Playa Herradura's pretty oceanfront, this simple Tico restaurant with white tablecloths and fairy lights holds its own in comparison to the polished eateries of the marina. The menu is all about fish, and it's as fresh as they come. The yellowfin tuna poke is exceptional. Most dishes are served with a side and warm soup, plus free salad from the salad bar.

Fishers can bring their catch of the day and the chef will prepare and cook it. There are also steak and chicken dishes.
