Tacobar Jaco Walk: Menu & Drinks

Every dish is a homage to the richness of Costa Rican cuisine, blended with international influences to create something unique.

First on the must-try list is the Catch of the Day Taco. It is a delightful creation showcasing local fish that's lightly seasoned and grilled to perfection. This deliciousness comes in a handmade corn tortilla with a zesty slaw, a smear of guacamole, and a splash of lime.

The Caribbean Coconut Curry Bowl is an aromatic blend of spices, coconut milk, and chicken or tofu. It comes with jasmine rice, making it a bowl of comfort and warmth.

Not to be overlooked is the Classic Costa Rican Casado. This dish offers a taste of local tradition with beans, rice, plantains, salad, and your choice of meat or fish. It's a hearty and satisfying plate that will replenish after a day with the Tortuga Island Tour.

On the beverage side, the Mango Tango Margarita is a refreshing choice for sunny days or balmy evenings. This drink combines ripe mangoes with the tang of lime and heat of tequila.

Wrapping up a meal at Tacobar Jaco Walk with any of these choices doesn't just satiate your hunger; it immerses you in the essence of Costa Rica, making it an indispensable part of any Costa Rican vacation adventure.
