Marea Baja

The most authentic restaurant I experienced in Costa Rica. The staff was extremely friendly and all had that motherly cooking love. Enjoy fresh food served by locals for locals. Just blend in. First place I ate and, on drive back from Uvita this was my last place too!! The atún was simply amazing!!

A must stop if you're driving you highway 34. Our driver recommended that place for lunch (on the way from Monteverde to Manuel Antonio). Our criteria was - fast, cheap, local and good quality. This place fit the bill nicely. We went for buffet - you choose your meat and sides, and you can go several times for the salad bar, fruits and soft drinks. The place was packed with locals. I loved their seafood choices (shrimp and fish). Highly recommend to stop there.

I think this is the best soda in Jaco. Great spot for typical Costa Rican food and everything always tastes good. It's cheap and you get a lot of food for what you pay. There's also lots of options, so there's something for everyone. We love to come here to recharge after surfing or hiking

Excellent! Best food we have had here in Costa Rica. Very authentic! I highly recommend eating here. Delicious food and great price

Great and fresh food for a nice price

Best soda in Jaco! Buffet-style with fixins and sweets. Super delicious. My 7-year olds ate more than I expected. Will be back

Best soda that we've visited on this trip. Glad that it wasn't touristy. Great value for money and the food was really good!

As far as a Costa Rican Soda (family restaurant) goes, this one is pretty good. Stopped here for lunch, and I don't think I will need supper now!

Great costa Rican food at a good price, if you understand spanish & the menu!! Somehow we ended up with just chicken and rice when we could have had veggies, beans & salad too!! Set dinners looked great, worth a revisit on our part.
Would recommend.

I have to say this is one of the most authentic restaurants I’ve ever been to! Juices are so natural and delicious

Great food and efficient buffet service at the right price! Varied specials with delicious typical foods like cheese tortillas. Absolutely recommended if you're into buying authentic local food. Would only wish the orange juice was from fresh orange, but it doesn't take anything from the place. Great space and sitting, enough fans to keep you cool in a hot day and mosquito-free. A must if you're traveling long distances with a large group. Pura Vida!

Great place for locals and foreigners

Very good restaurant , food is excellent the price is good, like buffet style,quick and very good rice pudding as desert include with the food, natural beverages refill free,I really like the place

Always great for a good fast bite of Costa Rican food

The food is very good!!!!

For authentic Costa Rican food

Friendly service and no frills. The focus is on the food which is comforting after a day on the beach. Highly recommend the fried shrimp and beans.

Excellent food selection with salad bar and a juice drink for 3900 CRC. The food was delicious and satisfying. This restaurant has well earned popularity!

As a local I love it... if you are from abroad the place is a must if you're starving without breaking the Bank. Amazingly good food, salad bar, refills available.

Usually busy but for good reason! Really great food! Don't miss the tuna filled avocado halves!
