CLOSED

This Restaurant is Closed, I was trying to book but the phone number didn't work, so I called a pizza place close by and they've told me that the restaurant has closed down.

Delicious food and wonderful staff!

We stopped by Aroma Tico on our way to the airport on our last day in Costa Rica. We are so glad we did. We were just about the only people there for breakfast, so maybe people eat a little later there. It is a...large restaurant and also has a gift shop located on the other end of the building. The food was so fresh and tasty! The waitress was so pleasant and couldn't have been nicer! Excellent price for breakfast, too! Would definitely go back there!More

Great Food , Friendly staff

We stopped here to eat on the recommendation of our driver, we were driving from LIH airport to Monteverde. The food was simple, good value, excellent dishes of everyday Costa Rican food. The staff was very friendly, allowing us to taste before we ordered. The...place was very clean and the decor tropical. Would go there again!More

Quick stop

Stopped here with a trip on the way to Arenal National Park. It's half way so a good place to stop but very average on food and drinks were expensive.

Very, very average - likely to better options around

We stopped for lunch on our way to the Pacific coast from Arenal. Admittedly we were being lazy as it was one of the first restaurants we came across but the reviews on google seemed to suggest the food was good. My wife and I...ordered the Casado and the kids had burger and chips. Our Casados were ok but not the best we've had in Costa Rica. The kids burgers however were awful. Thin, flat, dry beef patties in a massively oversized burger bun. Also the chips were soggy chunks of potato mash. Had all meals been of a higher quality, I would have said the price for the food was reasonable but as this was not the case, the food is overpriced for the quality you receive.More

Quick buffet style delicious food.

We made a quick stop here before heading back to Alajuela. Food was very good and staff was friendly. A bit overpriced but can't complain much.

Eat snacks, keep driving

Honestly it was waste. It was recommended to us as a good place to stop and we didn't enjoy our meals. The burger was undescribable and had ham and bacon on top which were not mentioned on the menu. I tried the vegetarian casado and...the beans, rice, plantains were dried out. I ate the salad and mash potatoes from the dish. Another two people got casados and also were left a bit disappointed. And my youngest got eggs and toast and the toast was covered with a pound of butter. Ugh Wish I had better news to report.More

Very Good!

The staff was super friendly and the food tasted great. They even accommodated our special requests at no additional cost. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was but I was pleasantly surprised and I would return again if I were in...this area and looking for a place to eat. You will have no regrets if you eat here.More

Solid lunch stop

Good place for lunch on the road between Monteverde and Arenal. Friendly service. Geared to tourists; not a cheap place, but not too expensive.
