Stopped in for a late lunch (kitchen closes at 2 pm on Sundays) and the team squeezed our order in. Extremely gluten free friendly and the food was amazing. I got the Tuna tartar and a passion fruit mango smoothie and I’ll be going back tomorrow.

We've been here twice now for breakfast. The dishes were delicious. The food is freshly prepared. The coffee is very good.
They also have a large selection of gluten-free options.
We sat outside because the air conditioning was on and it was quite cold.
The price/performance ratio is very good.
I can only recommend it.

I have been to Pico several times, the atmosphere is very nice, the guys are very friendly but the food always takes a long time to come out of the kitchen. They brought us the coffee and when the food arrived we had already finished the coffee for 5 minutes, when really I would have liked to have it with my breakfast. Last time I ordered some gluten free pancakes and it was the poorest dish I ate...it had 4 slices of strawberries and not even half a spoonful of chantilly.
It's not a cheap place so they could take more care of what they put on the plate from my point of view. I have been a chef for 20 years and I pay attention to these things.

Pretty good spot for brunch. My boyfriend loved the coffee, so much so that we bought some for home, Cafe Dota. They have gluten free options, and accommodated my allergiest o dairy, eggs and pineapples. Very friendly service and fresh food. It's a bit pricey, as it's 7000-8000 colones per entree.

Barumis is a must-try!
The staff was incredibly welcoming and professional.
The menu has something for everyone – from delicious waffles and chicken sandwiches to refreshing watermelon basil drinks and Sauvignon Blanc.
They even have amazing açaí bowls! As a celiac, my wife was thrilled with her gluten-free and vegan burger, and the kids loved their waffles.
My friend and I devoured the chicken burgers – some of the best we've had in Costa Rica!
The atmosphere was fantastic, and we had an amazing time. Plus, they offer a wide variety of smoothies, cocktails, sodas, and juices. Highly recommend!

If you are spending any time in Liberia Costa Rica do not miss out a quick meal at this place. Absolutely amazing food and the service is friendly and professional. We stopped here completely by accident and wow, just wow! I had the Mexican salad (I am one of those ‘gluten-free’ folk) and I have never had better. Don’t miss this place.

Came for lunch with my big family group of 12, ages 1 to more than 60, several with special dietary restrictions such as gluten free. Very well prepared Tico food. High quality ingredients. We enjoyed the Casado, chicken fingers, burritos, tacos, salads. We are staying one week in Playa Potrero and will come back.

The spicy vodka rigatoni was out of this world delicious. They were able to substitute the rigatoni for a gluten free penne pasta. I was so pleased. We also had someone in our party that is gluten and dairy intolerant and they worked with them to accommodate their allergies as well. I highly recommend Fabra.

Take-out: 3 errors prior to trying the food, losing one star each:
1) tried to charge us 10% for service, when we didn’t sit down. They quickly corrected and printed a new receipt.
2) Only gave us two sets of chopsticks for an order of three sushi rolls.
3) Asked for gluten free soy sauce and non-gluten free; they provided both, but didn’t label which one was which.

They served me the best latte I have ever had. It was rich and smooth, perfectly balanced. The service was friendly and accommodating. They have gluten-free options as well. I stayed several hours while doing some schoolwork and the atmosphere was great. There were periods of high traffic and service was very fast through the rushes. I will be back!
