El Jorón - Puntarenas

On this trip to Puntarenas we selected the Restaurante y Marisquería El Joron (strategic above the road of Paseo de los Turistas and the beach) according to some reviews (thanks to the municipality) and also the recommendation of my uncle. We ordered the Patacones con Frijoles as an appetizer, Patacones were crispy and tasty, as the main course we had the Arroz con Camarones, which was seasoned for perfection to balance the seafood flavors, the baked chicken was tender and juicy on the inside, also delicious, the broken yarn was tasteful. Overall we all agreed that the food is good and also the waiter was friendly and helpful. Another good place to eat in Puntarenas.

The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and accommodating for English-speaking customers. If you are in the area and hungry, consider a nice meal!

Suitable food and good service from staff. The menu wording about additional taxes is ambiguous, says 'precios impuestos' we read this to mean, but it actually means excluded. This type of pricing is always frustrating to say only the price of food. Automatic service fees are also not really how it should work.

What a pleasant surprise was El Jorón! The food was good, the beer was extra cold and the prices were very reasonable. What my experience disassembled was the service. This felt like a rare instance, experienced a day in the life of a Costa Rican. Relaxed meal overlooking families on the street spend a day on the beach, some football on TV, and no titled overweight pasty people (I am two of three). My Spanish is not great, but I think it is important to try (if in Rome). This was the only place throughout the journey where the server took the time and patience to gently correct me, but not to switch over in English. During our travels from Costa Rica, I fight that I am the only non-local in a restaurant. If you're close, please stop by. Calm down!
