Casa Maxou - Playa Samara

Great burger, fries and ice cream at very reasonable prices. Great place inside a little food court close to the beach. Nice break from rice and beans, hamburger meat was very good. Service was very good during a busy afternoon.

Officially the worst burger I've had in Costa Rica. Raw beef, soggy bun, expensive and fries tasted like they were made yesterday and microwaved today. Very disappointing. I just don't understand how someone can ruin a burger so bad. It's time to get out of the kitchen! I know it sounds harsh, but come on, you're serving raw burger in the tropic climate it's inexcusable.

I ordered the Maxou burger with fries and lemonade which cost 6,600 Colones. The burger was raw in the middle, the bun extremely soggy from all the gross sauce on the burger, the fries were also soggy and the lemonade I'm not sure what it was. I threw out everything and will not go back. So disappointed, overpriced and I do not recommend at all.

The. Most. Superb. Gelato maracuja! The smoothie was divine! I had both twice. Also a tasty veggie burrito salad. Thumbs up!

Tucked away just steps from Playa Samara (a premiere beach and surfing destination Casa Maxou has a broad assortment of fresh, house made, hand made daily gelato, perfectly executed, flavourful, texturally flawless in a variety of classic (vanilla, pistachio, caramelo… and fresh and funky flavours (passion fruit, mango, ginger… . We had combinations of each of the above, and none disappointed. The extensive menu also extends to savoury fare, such as veggie burritos (served with an egg, pinto gallo, and salad flawless , hamburgers, chicken burgers, casados, etc., with lots of available nearby seating. I honestly can’t think of a better way to cap off a hot day at the beach. An absolute must visit.
