Definitely reserve a spot at Pangas! I would highly recommend to walk in and make your reservation in person. Don't call, don't email....

Atmosphere is beautiful, wait staff are friendly and make honest recommendations.

We ordered lobster risotto to share. It was creamy and had amazing lobster flavour. My husband ordered the lamb and it was the best lamb we have tried anywhere! Cooked so perfectly that I wished I ordered it as well. I ordered whole snapper and unfortunately it was overcooked.

I would loved to have seen another gluten free dessert option besides ice cream but truly I was full anyway!

Wonderful food. Really exceptional. Location is also wonderful and the service was efficient and for freshly prepared food pretty quick. Our server Moses, was very pleasant and guided us through the menu. Will be revisiting next time we are in Tamarindo

Clear recommendation for amazing seafood on high level with super welcoming and helpful staff! Big portions for the money & incredible view - directly where ocean and river cross! Go there for lunch or dinner, you’ll be satisfied

Though it requires something of a walk from the bustling heart of Tamarindo, this restaurant based squarely on the Tamarindo Estuary provided nothing short of a great culinary experience. Though our reservations with them got lost, they were very accommodating, serving us an hour before we were anticipated. We ordered the rack of lamb over baby potatoes and asparagus, which were amazing, and the lobster with rice and Asian-style vegetables. Everything came promptly and the portions were large, with five lamb chops and three large lobster tails, all with an amazing view of the beach that was more secluded than the many beach clubs further towards the center of town. They even provided an easy solution when the outdoor flies started being an issue. Altogether a great experience.

Pangas is hands down the best restaurant in town! While soaking in Tamarindo's gentle breeze, you’ll find the owner going above and beyond to make everyone feel right at home.

The food is outstanding, the drinks are amazing, and the service is exceptional—the waitstaff are so attentive it’s like they can read your mind, all while being incredibly friendly and kind.

My personal favorite is the Tuna Tower, but my cousin tried the BBQ octopus and was absolutely blown away. They also offer vegetarian options and even chicken fingers for those times when you’re craving something simple.

It’s a must-visit dining experience in Tamarindo!
