I always thought this place was a juice bar.
I happened to see menu and saw they have Costa Rican food so I have it a shot and it was great. The food was great, I got casasdo. The employees were great, I think it's family owned.

Our trip to Costa Rica was exactly what we were looking for. Some hiking, a mix of easy and difficult. A little relaxing. Some cultural experience including hanging out with locals; which was my favorite because it brought me back to my exchange experience (even made time in the trip to visit my host family). Lots of great food; he knows where to go! Best of all; willing to go with the flow of our family rhythms.

We went on a once in a life time trip to Costa Rica with Pura Vida , Kevin was our personal planner , driver and guide. Our family really enjoyed having someone who was calm and laid back - he fit right in. To say it was an amazing experience is an understatement. We picked what we wanted to do based on a general itinerary that is then custom made to what you want to do. We stayed for a week that we split between the beach and in the mountains. We brought our kids along so they could experience the Pura Vida life style and culture of CR. Some of our favorite things were obviously the beautiful waterfalls, volcanos , national parks and hikes but also getting to meet some of the locals. We milked goats and even got invited to a family celebration at the hotel managers home which was a huge honor. The food at the local sodas were amazing as well as riding horses on the beach at sunset , swimming in waterfalls, exploring national parks and volcanos , visiting the local coffee farm and hiking to amazing views . 10/10 for a real Costa Rica life experience

I did the trip to Costa Rica. Amazing trip Kevin was a great guide, very informative and covered the hikes in the mountains, the waterfalls, volcano and we eat with the locals. The sunsets on the beach. I loved the trip and highly recommend Pura Vida Hikes and adventures.

I heard this was the best Costa Rican restaurant in New England. I am no expert in Costa Rican food, but can attest that the food was fresh and full of heaven-in-your-mouth flavor. Everything was excellent! To top it off, we were greeted by warmth and genuine hospitality by the owner and her family. A new favorite authentic eatery found!

I loved it here so much!! A bilingual establishment with the sweetest most caring owners. Such classic flavors reminiscent of home for any central american person, and a new cuisine for anyone wanting to experience latín american food off the beaten path of the usual tacos, nachos etc. LGBTQ welcoming ?
