Located along a dirt road, this hidden, cozy restaurant has a laid back surfer style with excellent food prepared by a great Chef. Normally open for breakfast & lunch, Mike will serve special dinners occasionally with local music night. Food is fresh and delicious. Had the best BLT ever with a mango smoothie for about $6.00. Prices are low too.... More

Great fish tacos, even better dinners. Beers are $2, and you may see yourself in the "surfing Nosara" video or pictures that are constantly running. Highly recommended!! More

we found this gem on the last day of our stay in Nosara. Probably the best food we had in the area. To be honest, I'm really jealous of the owner. Runs a chill as soda blocks from the beach, fine looking females all around, works until 3, cooks up some simple/great food, and great music played. More

The owner Mike rocks, and is so nice. I told myself I would not eat at the same establishment twice, but this one got me back. Great lunch...fish tacos were amazing. More

The sweet chili chicken sandwich here is AMAZING but also comes out to about $9! They managed to get our order wrong once and were very apologetic and offered to fix it but we were in a hurry so declined. Yummy food very close to the beach, fans blasting air on you while you eat, and surf videos on the... More

Think the title says it all. The food was average and their smoothies, while good, were inconsistent. The same drink two days in a row and completely different flavors. They've got wifi and will let you make free calls from their phone if you make a purchase. Super friendly staff and close to the beach! More

The Beach Dog Cafe has awesome food for a great price! I was so glad to see the food on the menu that had a latin feel with homemade flavor. The service was responsive, but laid back, with great smiles. The atmosphere was very relaxing. I highly recommend this place! More
