Nothing to complain. Service is good, food is excellent and not too expensive. No need to drive to Jaco for dining, and though this restaurant is not in a tourist place, but frequented by locals, as well, you wouldn't expect such a fancy cuisine there. They even have a second hand book exchange. Not too many tables, so I assume... More

Off the beaten path, hidden on a side road in Esterillos Oeste beach town is the most exquisite restaurant! Asian-Thai fusion with a Costa Rican flair hardly does the amazing flavors and fresh fish and vegetables justice. This cozy, engaging restaurant complete with tiny gift area just entices you with it's blend of colors and seating. The food, from appetizer... More

I am on my 3rd trip to Costa Rica, this one being for 3 months, and I have to say, this was the best food I have had in Costa Rica! I am glad I will be in the area for the next 6 weeks as I intend to visit often. The red curry chicken beast was just spicy enough... More

We have visited Los Almendros at least once each of our last 12 trips to Costa Rica. It is consistently delicious, the service is wonderful, the fish so fresh you think it may still be breathing!! Karen the owner is almost always present and a gracious hostess! I'm sad to say I've never asked the waiter's name, but he is... More

We live in Jaco Beach and were recently turned on to Los Almendros about 20 minutes south in Esterillos Oeste. We gave it a shot and were suprised to find such quality food in sleepy Esterillos. It's on par with some of the best restaurants in Jaco (which are fantastic) yet the prices are more reasonable. The shrimp pad thai... More

I stayed in Esterillos Oeste in February/ March of 2013. For a minimum of once a week, usually twice, I dined at Los Almendros Restaurant. Atmosphere, service and most of all the food drew me into becoming a "regular." Although a bit more expensive than some of the other local restaurants, by North American or European standards the prices for... More

During our recent three week stay in Esterillos Oeste, the six of us ate at this restaurant 3 times. The owner Karen is an ex patriot from Canada. The restaurant is clean with beautiful coverings on the tables. The food is excellent and the service really good even on busy nights. They have daily specials . Karen was there all... More

We ate at Los Almendros 3 times while we were vacationing in Esterillos and I wish we would have had time to enjoy more meals there. I would have liked to have sampled everything on the menu. I have to say my favorite meal was the sesame encrusted tuna steak. I don't think I've ever had a meal where it... More

We had found the reviews before visiting this area so we knew we would try the restaurant but once in the area had a hard time finding it. I emailed the owner while at the hotel and she responded back immediately. Once we had directions and understood the layout of the area it was easy to find. We were able... More
