Tucanes Restaurant offers a cozy and clean atmosphere, with a lovely ambiance and excellent service. The restaurant serves delicious and authentic Costa Rican cuisine, with dishes such as the chicken sou and tamales. The tamales are a highlight, with a good amount of flavor and a nice size. The Parrillero plate is another popular option, featuring a nicely seasoned and flavorful steak, along with tostones, shrimp, and rice. The restaurant is super clean, with immaculate restrooms, and the staff provides excellent service.
The decor at Tucanes is aesthetically pleasing, and the restaurant is known as a morsel of Costa Rican culture in the area. Customers have enjoyed the vigoron, with juicy fried pork that works beautifully with the tart cabbage, and the chifrijo, which encompasses rice, beans, fried pork, pico de gallo, and avocado, with a wonderful citrus vibe. The restaurant also offers a primavera pasta and a shrimp vodka pasta, which have been praised for their deliciousness. Tucanes provides a discount to Prospect Park residents, which is a great incentive for locals to support this establishment.
