Food scene
We have eaten at this local restaurant several times and enjoyed it. We were originally told to eat here due to the seafood options. Typical Costa Rican dining experience.

A number of small restaurants (think food trucks or outdoor food court) with shared seating for all the restaurants. Various types of food plus beverages. We tried Somos Cuatro Texas BBQ. It was delicious. The owner/chef was super nice. We saw a stage which led us to believe that they probably have live music. Very chill place to hang out. Plus check out the town of Uvita afterwards.
