I’m a Costa Rican in SoCal and have been waiting to visit this place for a while with some local friends to get a taste of my beautiful country’s delicious cousin. It was the WORST PLACE, FOOD AND SERVICE.
This is not Costa Rica. It looks old, outdated, and they don’t have some of the most typical dishes of CR.
For the place, quality, food and service is overpriced.
I’m not trying to affect the business but make you aware of this issue.
For the owner PLS get a real Costa Rican to help you with the food and decorations, hope you take this as feedback and make the necessary improvements.

Having enthusiastically travelled almost an hour to this place which was highly recommended, and wanting to explore, for the first time, Costa Rican cuisine, I was extremely disappointed by the service, and the taste of the food in this place. I refuse to believe that Costa Rican cuisine is this bad; perhaps this is just a terrible restaurant.
The music and dancing that came afterwards was the only saving grace, however, with a $15 cover charge, it's the least one can expect.
I would never recommend the food at this place.
The music and dancing, maybe...

Nice Costa Rican food restaurant with live music dance on weekends. Unfortunately, the dance floor is not large enough for the crowd.

This visit was my second time coming to Costa Rica Restaurant. I've ordered Fish Taco plate for dinner and margarita on the rocks for drink. The fish tacos were big and filling. The margarita was stiff, just the way I like it. It was great experience. I'll be back for karaoke next time.

I went there for dance and drinks. My first time with two friends who frequent the night club. The mixed drinks where perfectly severed, not watered down, in perfect size glass, and just the right balance of ice to alcohol ratio. Priced reasonably.
The band played good music and the DJ kept the dancers on the floor between sets. The age group was bewteen 35 and 55. Plenty of seating and air conditioning. Enough room on the dance floor for all.

I love this place for a couple reasons.
one: I know some of the staff, manger, and customers and all of them are nice and welcoming.
Two: the food and drinks are good.
Three: this is also the place that i used to grow up b/c my mother works there as a chef and bar server (she still works there).
Four: they have their own band that plays on stage.
The only problem is the music, Its sooo loud that you can hear from outside.

This a small but bustling local Costa Rican restaurant and night club, my visit was on a Saturday, there is $10 entrance fee, if you get there early tables are available, there is plenty of room at the bar. There was a live band, and rythmic recorded music. Mainly, cumbia, merengue, salsa, bachata and such.
The atmosphere get's better with the crowd buildup and the dance floor full.
Good and friendly staff and dancing environment.

We were staying at the Tropicana suites a few doors down. I had read a few reviews for the Pizza Press & they were good so we gave it a try. We were not disappointed. We ended up eating here a few times during our Disney visit. Great food, great value.
