La experiencia comienza cuando pasas por las puertas de Jaguar Negro y te transportarás a un oasis tropical mexicano con aires relajados y elegancia casual. Primero descubres un jardín secreto rodeado de agua y plantas nativas mexicanas y desde ahí emprendes un viaje sonoro, sensorial y visual que te transportará a México sin salir de Costa Rica.

Nuestro menú esta inspirado en la cocina de cantina, en los platillos de tradición y en las técnicas ancestrales que acompañan cada preparación. Todo se disfruta alrededor de una mesa pensada para ser compartida.

Estamos visitando desde Nueva York y vinimos a celebrar el cumpleaños de una amiga y decidimos venir a comer a este lugar tan hermoso desde el momento q entras hasta que te sientan son tan amables. Nuestro mesero creo que fue Daniel se portó de maravilla y excelente servicio que nos dio. Les recomiendo este lugar a todos. Espero volver aquí cuando regrese a costa rica

El servicio y el ambiente espectaculares, pero la comida estuvo insípida, ni comparado a la real comida mexicana. Ni las micheladas tenían buen sabor. Relación precio comida fatal

This is a fun place to dine, especially taking out of town guests. The food is pricey for what is offered. Avoid the atún, unless you are craving smoked ham. The drinks are creative and tasty. The staff is very friendly, but seem to be under pressure to turn the tables quickly.
