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!

The best Costa Rican restaurant in New Jersey! I love their chifrijo dish (with chicken), their seviche is heavenly, and their seafood soup is marvelous. Their strawberry banana smoothie juice is very tastey and refreshing as well. The atmosphere in the restaurant inside and out is simply beautiful. Pura Vida
