I had previously read recommendations for this restaurant, and when we passed right by it, we had to stop. The restaurant is right on the main highway near the airport. We had a lot of stuff in the car, as we were coming from a hike, but we felt very safe leaving it in the car in the guarded parking... More

Our family met us at the airport and took us to LaChoza for drinks, appetizers, and to welcome us to Costa Rica. We've been back for lunch and dinner every trip since then. It is a great open air restaraunt, with picnic tables (no chairs/tables) and ample portions of wonderful Tico food. They roast their chickens on a wood fired... More

Our driver recommended La Choza for Costa Rican food, and we went on our last night in Arenal and wish we would've gone sooner. We had the Typical and Volcano Rice for our dinners..both so good! We finished our meal with traditional coffee and a massive banana split. All of that along with 2 beers, Don Julio on the rocks,... More

This is a large open air restaurant near the airport. They serve fresh, typical Costa Rican food. The portions were large and the food was very flavorful. The service was excellent and friendly. The restaurant is on a busy street and the traffic noise is not the best atmosphere.

We ate here last night. I had a couple cervesa, my wife had two mixed drinks, we shared an appetizer and both had a main dish, all for under $50.00 us. Food was great, presentation was wonderful and the service was prompt and friendly. Mains were the rice volcano and the typical Costa Rican meal. Both were very good and... More

Two locations, one just north of the Liberia airport and the second in the town of La Fortuna. They both provide great food and service. Very typical meals and the staff is dressed in typical garb. The prices are good and I have never had a bad meal. I operate a tour company and this is a must stop place.... More

Love this place in La Fortuna and at the airport. Great attention to detail, wonderful service and amazing, home cooked, local food at HUGE proportions. You shouldn't leave Costa Rica without eating at La Choza!

If you land at the airport hungry, you're in luck! About one Km toward Liberia you'll find a fairly large, open air restaurant on the right hand side, just past the American car rental offices. The restaurant has many antique decorations and colorful blooming bushes. The minute you open the car door you smell the wood-fired grill and your mouth... More

They charged us for 4 banana splits when we had only ordered 1. Way too much of a difference to be an honest mistake. They count on people not checking the bill as the place is in the middle of nowhere so after one eats it's time to hit the road. Most people would probably not bother to go back... More
