About

Costa Rica visitors find Chacarita Restaurant, a restaurant, in the Puntarenas Province, in the town of Chacarita. The venue sits on the Pacific side of the country, where the dry season runs from December to April. Booking ahead is the sensible move for a table here, since the restaurant does not take walk-ins on busy evenings.

Chacarita Restaurant has drawn 74 reviews, and the average score across them is 4.6 out of 5. Diners come for Costa Rican cooking, with plates built around rice, beans, plantains and fresh fish landed along the Pacific coast. The restaurant lies in Chacarita, a short hop from San José, the capital, and within reach of beach towns such as Jacó and Manuel Antonio. Spanish is the everyday language here, and a few words of it smooth the way when ordering.

The restaurant opens daily, and the kitchen serves through lunch and dinner. Photographs of the dining room and the plates are available, and the restaurant maintains a website with its menu and contact details. Reservations can be made by phone or through the website before arrival.

The Pacific coast stays dry from December to April, which makes that window the easiest time to eat outdoors. Costa Rican cooking leans on rice, beans and tropical fruit, and fresh seafood is standard along this shore. Roads link Chacarita with the capital and the coastal towns, so a hire car or a bus covers the ground between meals. A few words of Spanish go a long way, and pura vida is the phrase locals use for hello, thanks and everything in between.
