About

La Cueva del Marisco, on Costa Rica, sits in Heredia, Puerto Viejo, Barrio La Guaria, 41001, a Caribbean-coast setting that first-time visitors reach after a straightforward drive or bus ride from San José. Expect a casual, locally run stop where the focus stays on the food and the setting rather than on formality.

Across 147 reviews the venue holds a 4.2 out of 5 average, a solid showing that reflects steady satisfaction among the people who eat here. Costa Rica draws travellers to Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, La Fortuna and Monteverde, and Puerto Viejo sits on the same well-trodden circuit, so the venue fits naturally into a wider island itinerary.

Intercity buses are the main form of public transport in Costa Rica, and they link the capital with the coastal towns, which makes reaching this part of the Caribbean side manageable without a car. Spanish is the official language, and the local phrase pura vida captures the relaxed pace visitors notice on arrival.

Costa Rica lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, with volcanic ranges running down its centre. Driving is on the right. For anyone based in San José, the trip to Puerto Viejo passes through the kind of green, humid landscape that defines this side of the country.
