Dining in Samara

Our house here in Samara has a nice kitchen and it was our intention to cook a few nights but there are so many wonderful restaurants in town to try that idea went out the window.
 The town is a small beach community with lots of restaurants, shops, bars, and hotels all either on the beach or within a short walk from the beach.
Having dinner on the beach with some live music is just my speed and we found many places to do just that.
 Gusto beach restaurant  has everything from sushi to pizza. It is a great spot to enjoy a drink, listen to music, and watch what's happening on the beach.

El Ancla is another beach restaurant with some great prices and happy hour specials. I just love the fresh fish Casado - the typical meal and for $6000 colones ($12.00) how can you go wrong.

La Vela Latina is another good choice on the beach for  burgers, nacho's, and seafood. The happy hour has the best prices. They just move very slow, slower then the average tico time. Here is where we finally learned the secret to La Cuenta por favor.


El Lagarto is not right on the beach but a wonderful place to eat. They have a large selection of meat, seafood, and vegetable all grilled on cedar wood. The bake potatoes are cooked in the flame oven and are the best.


I even tried the fresh grilled squid and it was very tasty.
