Rancho de Ceci

We went to the Rancho de Ceci after a year, and the service was even better than we remembered. Our waiter went beyond to make sure he provided an efficient service and we enjoyed our dishes. The menu has an extended variety of Costa Rican typical dishes. The prices are very affordable, generous portions a nice presentation. The owner walked around the tables to welcome everybody with a warm smile. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming in addition the restaurant has ample private parking.
We highly recommend this restaurant!

This place is amazing. The food never fails, they have daily specials. The owner Ceci is here helping every day and greets everyone as they come in. I had a ham and cheese sandwich along with sweet plantains with melted cheese on top. Delicious, absolutely delicious. The drink selection is really good as well. I had the soursop mixed with water (guanabana en agua).

During our trip to San Carlos, we stopped at this place, indeed a very delightful experience. Managed by its owner (Doña Ceci), we had breakfast and lunch at her place. Superb flavor, great portions, reasonable prices, and excellent service by all staff including Doña Ceci... Will definitely come back again!

Great food service and environment.

We had phenomenal service and amazing food. You can tell they know how to cook local dishes to perfection. Simple food that speaks for itself and brings out the true flavors of the ingredients. We had the casado pollo, gallo pinto pescado, and carne empanadas. Would recommend all.

I've known this place for almost 30 years. Every trip to La Fortuna had a must-stop breakfast on Ceci's. Service is superb, food is just great.

This was my favorite restaurant during my entire trip in CR. I had both the cheese and the bean empanadas as well as a cocoa drink that had coffee liqueur in it. Absolutely amazing food!!

Café con Flan “Chiricaya”. ¡Lo mejor!
Coffee time with “Chiricaya” puddin. Top of Best!

The food was magnificent and the service was awesome! Can’t wait to my next return visit.

Good Costa Rican fare, as well as a few international dishes, often with a local twist

Great food, good service! Loved it. I was looking forward to meeting Cici. She is a legend!

Delicious food, gorgeous view, excellent service

Went here because of the reviews. Well worth it, we had Yucca Fries, beef tenderloin and sirloin. The food felt clean and had quality. The staff was very friendly and accommodating even though we spoke poor Spanish.

A local Classic. Great local dishes and service. Consistently good for decades.

We have been coming to this restaurant for manny years. Great food

Delicious food! Highly recommend the empanadas. Coffee service was great as well.

Best Costa Rica food! No other words. Just visit and eat. I hope to visit again

De parada obligada en Zarcero! Friday's soup is the best!

Great hot chocolate and well prepared food, one of my favorite places up in Zarcero.

A must stop on the way to ciudad quesada! Clean bathrooms and good local food!
