Fodor's Review:

El Loco Natural epitomizes Puerto Viejo: lively, organic, all the rage, but confident enough not to seek trendiness. Ordering is by sauces: Thai peanut, Indonesian-Caribbean curry, Mexican chipotle, Jamaican jerk-style, or Malaysian-guayaba curry. Then select vegetables, chicken, shrimp, or fish (marlin or tuna). Bar stools on the balcony face the street and let you survey the goings-on below. You'll be better able to converse with your fellow diners if you sit at the tables inside: live music gets going late on Thursday and Sunday evenings, and in high season (December-April) often on another weeknight, too. It's easy to miss its second-floor location above the Color Caribe souvenir shop; look up as you walk by.

Reviewed by Margayjaun from Spain on 10/20/09
I was at the Loco Natural this summer, the place is quite nice, but unfortunately very, very expensive.
Too spicy and pungent.
My husband did not like Caribbean food, I prefer Italian or Spanish restaurant.
not recommend it for high prices and service very slow
