Very good burritos and tacos! These are homemade and especially the spicy salsa is very tasty! Also good service (greetings to Mary). Thank you for having an extra gluten-free menu. Although they point out that it's not exclusively gluten-free cuisine, we didn't have any problems! Highly recommended!

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.

Was amazing experience at this coffee shop. The view is unmatched. It overseas the three roads that get together right in front of it and all the action is happening in front of it. Staff was super friendly and the options for coffees are almost indefinable. Wi-Fi sucks a little bit, but can go around. A lot of gluten-free options. Super chill place.

This was one of the very best Indian restaurants I have ever been to. The mango lassi was delicious, as was the vindaloo and the butter chicken. I have celiac so must eat gluten-free and they were very accommodating with clear markings on their menu regarding what is Gluten-free. Our waiter, Vikas was very helpful and provided excellent service!

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!

I love everything about this place. Great beer next door, the burritos are awesome along with the spiced yuca fries. My brother had the birria tacos which he loved. My wife is celiac and said the shrimp tacos were amazing, so good for gluten free needs too. Their homemade hot sauce is wonderful.
