My sister is still talking about the Tal Burger! This place has a great atmosphere, amazing food, and a full bar. The menu is large and can easily satisfy everyone. We had pasta dishes, burgers, and an assortment of desserts. Everyone loved it all! More

This place is great value for money. We had the whole red snapper- super fresh and tasty- and the mediterranean salad- light and flavorfull- we really enjoyed it! The place itself is very cool. More

It was refreshing to have a good homemade burger, very tasty. I really enjoyed the location. It does sit on a busy street, but thats part of its character. We watched the the people walking & riding by. We also watched the howler monkeys in the trees across the street. They also have a pool table. More

Good, solid food. Great menu selection for the value. A little close to high-traffic road, but good ambiance overall. More

I had a tuna that was just excellent... The way the vegetables were prepared and the sauce that the tuna had was sooo good! The service was great and our host was super friendly. I really recommend it. More

Our bartender Sara was the coolest person we met here. She invited us to hang out with her and the other locals in town. Just a super laid back place, cool... More

Many restaurants on the main road suffer from the diesel and dust from the passing cars- Pasta Basta is set up on a hill just before a bridge and it really helps minimize this impact. That is what got me to go in and the service got me to return a couple of times during my trip. The staff were... More
