I recently visited Tucanes with high hopes, as my husband is Costa Rican and we were craving authentic cuisine. Unfortunately, our experience was quite disappointing.
To start, the food was clearly not fresh. The chicharrón was burnt and dark, indicating it was overcooked. When I mentioned this to one of the managers, she immediately agreed just by looking at it and brought us a new batch. Despite this effort, the replacement wasn’t much better.
Additionally, the waitress was not very attentive, which only added to our frustration. We hadn’t visited in a while and were looking forward to a good meal, but this visit fell far short of our expectations.
We will definitely not be returning. It’s a shame because we wanted to enjoy a taste of Costa Rica, but Tucanes did not deliver.

A place where we Ticos remember our country, because the atmosphere feels like our home and the meals remind us of popular Costa Rican cuisine.

The decor at this morsel of Costa Rican culture is aesthetically pleasing and if you’re in the area, this is one of the better Tico spots. We watched Costa Rica beat Paraguay in a Copa America game while eating pupusas, un Casado and Tacos Ticos and totally hit the spot. Especially since they served some salsa Lizano on the side.

I just returned from Costa Rica! Three days later I ran to Tucanes for Costa Rican food! They do not disappoint! Delicious, fresh, authentic and beautifully presented is exactly how to describe my meal! In addition to scrumptious food, TucanesHas a lovely, pristine atmosphere with excellent service. Restrooms are immaculate! I love this place. I went back a week later for another wonderful experience! I am now a regular!
