    This place is a hidden gem. The food was just fantastic. We shared a few appetisers and then main courses. Everything was super flavourful and delicious. I personally had some diet restrictions and the staff came up with a yummy solution to meet my needs which just yummy.. Loved this place, giving this restaurant 10/5 hands down.

    The atmosphere was fun, the service was friendly, and the food was fantastic. We loved the oyster shots, margaritas, and the Pura Vida Special with fish—fresh and full of flavour. The tres leches dessert was the perfect ending. Highly recommend for great vibes and delicious food!

    So happy to have found this Costa RIca gem on St Clair. Every meal there has been exceptional, with my fave being the. Pura Vida Special - a plate packed with fluffy rice, plantains, cole slaw, beans, potatoes (each delicious) and choice of protein. Tres Leches for desert: couldn't be happier.

    Everything was perfect! The Tuna Fusion was so fresh and tasty, and the Coronarita cocktail was super refreshing. The Shrimp Tacos were amazing, and the Tres Leches dessert was the best I’ve ever had—just the right amount of sweetness. Great food, great service. I’ll definitely be back!

    The catch of the day plate was incredible—never had fish like this before! The margarita was hands-down the best I’ve had. Service was super friendly too. Highly recommended!
