Jalapas Restaurant

$$

Located at the end of a rocky road on top of a mountain, you'll be rewarded with incredible views and delicious dishes at this family-owned restaurant. Brimming with Costa Rican hospitality, the restaurant's reasonably priced and extensive menu features standouts like salmon and ceviche that are seasoned with fresh herbs from the garden or the Caribbean chicken paired with a refreshing Paloma. Get there before dark to enjoy the vista.
