We stopped here because we were in a traffic jam and decided to have some lunch. This place was delicious and relaxing and had great service! We made the effort to return on our way out of Quepos and the server remembered us. The food was just as good the second time. The price was also very reasonable. I can... More

But once you are inside, it's atmosphere takes over and you focus on the internal experience of the restaurant/bar itself. Staff are great, prices are great, and the... More

On the highway just outside of Quepos. Had a quick casado meal before going off on a Magrove Monkey cruise. Tasty but no time to form solid judgment. Pretty spot for a place on the highway.

We dined at Ranching Leon based on the recommendation of our fishing guide. The food was awesome. We took the catch (Mahi Mahi ) they cooked it up several ways. Both dinners were great! Good job Fernando!!!

During our first trip to CR in last April, a local tour guide (Thanks Johan Chaves!) recommended this place to have a typical tico dinner. With our tour guide, we had a really good dinner, nice service and friendly atmosphere. Would go back any time again!
