This place is true gem, we heard about this new place in the Naugatuck valley that had recently opened and had authentic Costa Rican food…and we knew we had to try it- so we took the drive out and I’m glad we did.

Our first time in a Costa Rican restaurant …..won’t be our last !!. We had a nice time here with great food and awesome hospitality .we had the chifrijo and the pork casado.the chifrijo had really nice crispy pork belly chicharones fresh pico de Gallo and amazing beans that were very flavorful and well seasoned . The casado was also good with a pan seared pork chop rice black beans and plantains topped with a fried egg. Again I can’t mention the beans enough they were that good .they also brought out a nice pickled vegetable medley with jalapenos for us to try which complimented our entrees very nicely .we picked up a rice pudding to go for dessert which was just made that today and was very decadent .nice family owned small restaurant that puts love and care into their cooking ……thanks again we will be back to try other entrees!!!!

I’m so happy I can say that my hometown has a fantastic Costa Rican restaurant now!! It was very clean and bright inside, and the young man that took care of us was friendly and attentive. The mango drink I had was very refreshing, and my best friend and I enjoyed our lunch of chips with fresh guac and salsa, a tamal, Costa Rican tacos, and empanadas. The pupusa was probably the star for me – it was so flavorful!! I can’t wait to come back and try more menu items!

Great service, food, and atmosphere. Gallo Pinto was delicious and as good as any you’d get in Costa Rica. Coffee and freshly made passion fruit juice were highlights as well. Please support this wonderful family owned business

Lovely little place, clean, with great food and helpful service. We had the pork Papusa (basically a thick griddled masa cake stuffed with pork belly and cheese. It was delicious! Also had the shedded chicken over plantains special, chips and guacamole (best fresh guac I’ve had!) wings (not overly sauced and crispy without breading). Great find!! Also once before had the bacon, egg and cheese Sando for breakfast and that was great too!

The tacos can’t be beat. So fresh and delicious. That slaw on top is a new favorite. Blackberry juice with milk was a savory and unique treat also.
