La Leda - Puerto Caldera

We got a great lunch at this restaurant today. It is located in my beautiful province of Puntarenas, right by the water. It was actually pretty cool to see several fish swimming right by us. When getting ready to order, the waiter brought us some raw fish for us to choose the size we wanted fried. I ordered a mixed fish, chucheca and shrimp cocktail. It was phenomenal . Prices are reasonable between 8.000 to 13000 colones a dish $20 to $28) Pretty worth trying . recommended.

Everything I had was excellent including the clam appetizers, patacones, vegetables and shrimp. We had a very pleasant experience. Prices are in line with prices in the U.S., maybe a little less. View was great and lunch is was relaxed. As good as the shrimp were, the sauces were the star of the show in my opinion. They went great with both the patacones and shrimp. While it wasn't an amazing value, the price are fair and support the quality of food, service and experience you would expect.

This is my favorite on the road between San José and Guanacaste. This is simple food done right. Nothing fancy, but the ingredients are fresh and everything is tasty. The octopus was cooked perfectly. The clams are a real treat (piangua) and the fruit juices are delicious.

This was such a treat to find. Great view, awesome food, fantastic staff!! The best birthday lunch in 58 years! The staff will come to the table with a small cake and light a candle while they sing happy birthday. I highly recommend going here!!
