Biribá - Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

We should have heeded the universes signs, when we tried the first two times to eat here. First, there was no water and second they had just closed. On the third attempt, after we had chosen our meals from the menu, the waitress with a condescending attitude informed us that what we had chosen was no longer available. It would have been useful to know this upfront! After placing our orders, we had to wait approximately 40 minutes for the food. I suggested to my girlfriend during this period that we should leave but she really wanted to try the food. I had the avo on toast, which was literally some avo on one piece of very tough toast. I was hungry but couldnt finish the toast. My girlfriend had the fish tacos but could only eat one as they tasted terrible and gluey. They are three banana flowers in batter on shop bought corn tortillas. Very overpriced for what it was. We wont be going back. Updated from previous review on 2022-04-07

Beautiful atmosphere. they have cocktails, mock tails and smoothies. every article we got was delicious. the personal was friendly. they had kekse and oreo cheesecake and bananenpb cheesecake. I had the hardest time to choose, but the banana cheese cake was not disappointed.

Had the fish tacos, and they were excellent. Almost tasted like real white fish, but wasn’t too fishy. Also sampled the crab cakes and they were also excellent. Please note that currently they do not accept payment by credit card; they only except cash, paypal, or venmo.

Love this new spot! I’ve been vegan for a while and went here with my non vegan friend. We both loved the food and the staff were super friendly. Definitely going back!!

I have been vegan for nearly 8 years and this is by far one of the best vegan restaurants i have ever been to in my life. Not only is the location beautiful, right across the beach where all the local surfers surf- the presentation of the food is so detailed and beautiful. The cocktails are a tropical dream and the food is so creative and has found ways to make veg alternatives I have never heard of before! All of the food is locally sourced, freshly made and the staff were extremely kind, accommodating and had great suggestions of where to go for my time in Puerto: I hope I get the chance to go back soon.
