Original menu, great service and a good ambience. The menu was biased towards veggie/vegan. Whilst we are neither, I enjoyed an excellent cocoanut curry and my wife enjoyed well cooked and presented mahi mahi. The service was prompt and friendly. Even better had we gone on one of the days live music is on offer. Good value and recommended.

Final night after a week in Dominical and we decided on Maracatu. All 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the healthy choice of this restaurant is what our family is all about. I hope business is good for you as have a great spot here. Cheers...Pura Vida Bob Canada

My husband and I were American tourists visiting Costa Rica, and wanted a restaurant that would give us a delicious vegan meal. We found Maracatu and we were not disappointed. At Maracatu, we enjoyed a tasty appetizer of plantains with black beans, veggie fajitas, and a vegan chocolate cake. All were delicious (see photos). Our waitress was friendly and the... More

The food was great. Large portions and fresh ingredients. We actually went twice. The crowd is very young so older folks may consider taking food to go.. Picnic on the beach. We are early 30s and even felt a little old and out of place. It seemed like a cliquey group there and not entirely welcoming of outsiders. That bring... More

We were there mid-day on a quiet Saturday in January while on vacation from colder climes. We started with patacones and fried yucca, both with black bean dip. Wonderful. Chased those down with ice cold Imperial. Fabulous. Then we had fish tacos and a fish burger, which is really a slab of white fish on a bun with a great... More

I love the raw food diet when in this area of Costa Rica (lots of organic greens at markets around here) When it come to the best salad around, it's the Maracatu bowl - simply delicious. If you like to dance, Maracatu is the place to go at night, with electronica and reggae being the predominant music styles - live... More
