Taco Bar | Jaco

In Jacó, Costa Rica our friends were excited to take us to the Taco Bar. Designed to feel like a jungle hut with lush green palms and rope swing seats, it apparently does not fly under the radar as evidenced by the tour bus that pulled up right behind us. However, there were definitely some local families filling the swings too. Fish tacos are their specialty, choose from snapper, dorado (mahi mahi) or tuna in addition to the traditional options of shrimp, chicken or beef. Prepared to order with the seasoning blends of your choice - choose spicy or mild and then pick from cilantro or shaved coconut, for example. Then, go to town at the unlimited toppings and salad bar! The pico de gallo, pesto rotini and fingerling potato salads were very fresh and flavorful. There is an array of rice, beans, local salsas, hot sauces, sautéed onions and whole jalapenos to name what feels like a few. Their fruit smoothies and and frozen lemongrass drinks are top notch. I had a refreshing and not-too-sweet papaya banana smoothie. You get a lot of food for not a lot of money, which is typical of anywhere we ate in Jacó. I was impressed.
