Mr. Pelicano

Wow! We had a great meal here tonight and price is reasonable. Food is excellent! Kudos to the chef- amazing presentation of food. It is located inside Samara food court, and the area is well-decorated. We had fish and chips, shrimp tacos and a coconut shrimp bowl and tasty. I like also that the vegetables sliced thinly- thats when I know chef is good. Highly recommend when in Samara

Fantastic food! Got take- away twice and loved it. In a food court. Counter service nice staff, great food. Not much ambiance but they did good for what it is. Would recommend. Ate for breakfast and lunch. Delicious! Took photos of menu but for some reason they won’t post for google maps. Hmmmmm.

Great experience! Service was awesome. The food was always fresh. I ordered a salad with Poke tuna. It was delicious. We will be back.

On our visit to Samara, we went to Mr. Pelicano almost every day. We loved the atmosphere, and every plate we tried. Our favorite was the lobster pasta. If you are looking for fresh delicious seafood at reasonable prices, this is the place for you!
Thank you Mr. Pelicano for feeding us delicious food during our stay in Samara. This is definitely our favorite place in town.😊

Great food. Such kind server. Good portions too.

My friends and I LOVED this place. Just thinking about the delicious Mahi Mahi with butter and almonds makes my mouth water.

All the food we got was very tasty and just as described. The restaurant is located in a sort of courtyard with other businesses around it but it has a very cool vibe and the staff was nice. We did have to wait a little for our food, but I have noticed that is pretty normal with the area and with how fresh the food is.

I would consider a place a must if you are in the playa Sámara area.

Great, casual spot to get a simple lunch! My wife and I stopped here for a quick lunch and was not disappointed. We each got bowls, which were good serving sizes. The location is great - located in a food market type of place with other great stores around. Would definitely go back again!

I had the best bowl of my life here , the spicy mahi bowl. The serving size was very generous for the price and packed with good and delicious vegetables and food.

The service was amazing too, we had our 18 month old with us and they made a nice butter noodle bowl for her off the menu. They were super friendly, welcoming and not pushy at all. Loved this place !

We ordered the fish tacos. They were absolutely delicious! Served with a great sauce and multiple fresh lemons. Absolutely fresh. And the tacos shells were fresh made and freshly fried. Best fish tacos I’ve ever had!

It’s one of many food stalls in the natural center. They had reasonable prices and large portions. The service was pleasant and surprisingly quick. I had the Mahi burger and my wife had the falafel burger. Both were delicious.

Best seafood in Samara. The raw fish was tasty, super fresh well presented for a decent price.

Highly recommend, especially the Tuna sashimi and the mai tai.

Located just steps away from the beautiful Playa Samara, Mr. Pelicano offers a wide ranging, perfectly executed menu inspired by the sea and the abundance of local, fresh organic ingredients. The grilled swordfish served with a light, flavourful salsa, chips and a salad is an absolute delight, replete with bold and complex flavours, while the Tuna Poké Bowl is a picturesquely presented gargantuan, fresh celebration of layered umami and textural counterpoints. A real crowd-pleaser is the over-the-top but flawlessly executed mixed fried seafood platter featuring house-made breaded fish and shrimp (outstanding!), calamari (exquisite) served with perfect chips, delightful sauces and fresh vegetables - a dish that can easily feed three!! With fast, friendly and informative service, very reasonable pricing, copious seating, an extensive beverage menu, jaunty decor and perfect ambiance, Mr. Pelicano is a must visit!

This spot is a casual eatery with a bigger sized menu than I was expecting. Nonetheless, everything we ordered over our four visits was fresh and delicious. Service was also friendly and efficient.

We ordered the tofu bowl and the veggie quesadilla. Although I like tofu baked, it’s too hot to run an oven in CR. Super friendly staff, great service and value. Lots of healthy food on the plate. Will return.

Beautiful little restaurant which is part of a nice food market but has its own space and terrace. Many vegan options. I had the vegan tofu bowl which was delicious, loaded with fresh ingredients, tasty hummus and creamy tofu. A friend had the falafel burger a day before and it was very good as well. Service was very friendly and everything was pretty quick for Costa Rica :)

you must try the fish & chips! so delicious! big portion, so reasonable priced. nice place to sit too.

Excellent, fresh food and friendly service. A cute little dinner spot in a sort of food hall area but still nice and tucked away. We had the shrimp tacos (amazing), shrimp ceviche (super fresh and good), and the fish and chips (not greasy at all, the best my husbands ever had). Would definitely recommend

Best tuna ever… came
2 Nights in a row… simply too good…. Staff is nice .. plates are big but the main thing… the taste is amaaaaazing!!

We went there twice during our 3-night stay in Samara as they serve good and healthy food. We tried the bowls and ceviches and everything was very tasty :)

A simple place in a little food market, was with excellent food. Great fresh fish dishes. Fish tacos were tasty and generous. Mahé Mahé curry was delicious. Service was friendly and helpful.
