On the long drive from Liberia to Cabo Blanco, El Paso was one of the few establishments open on a holiday.
I’m glad they were – great food, atmosphere, and service. Definitely recommend and very inviting.
The pollo casado and piña juice were excellent. Not much road noise at all.

El Paso del Diriá, Restaurante y Buffet offers a dependable Costa Rican dining experience with plenty of variety to choose from. The buffet is well-stocked, the food is fresh, and there’s something for everyone—from traditional casados and stews to grilled meats and salads. Portions are generous, flavors are straightforward, and service is friendly in that classic Guanacaste style.
It’s a comfortable place to stop whether you’re passing through Santa Cruz or looking for a hearty, no-fuss meal that feels familiar and local. A solid option when you want convenience, variety, and good value.

We stopped here on the way to Samara for an afternoon meal. This is not a fancy place, but it was clean and the menu is varied, the food was excellent. The girl who waited on us spoke good English and was very nice. We had tacos, chicken and beef, and a plate of fried bananas, yucca, and potatoes. All very tasty. No beer is the only drawback. Good prices, great place.

My husband and I stumbled into this cute establishment on our way south. This family owned and operated restaurant has good home cooked food with real ingredients. It’s delicious, simple and peaceful. The owner is very nice and speaks a fair amount of English (our Spanish is mediocre at best).

Had the chicken quesadilla, was amazing and fresh and the tacos. Corn tortillas were best we have had. Staff was helpful and very polite. Eat here!

Nous sommes venus déjeuner sur la route du retour vers Cartago. Nous y avons découvert une cuisine authentique et délicieuse, servie sous forme de buffet. Le service était incroyable : un personnel à l’écoute, chaleureux et souriant. Je vous recommande vivement de venir manger dans ce restaurant, une expérience plus qu’agréable !

El lugar es pequeño pero bonito. Tiene un árbol en el medio.
Me compré una hamburguesa con papas y fresco de la casa por 4500 aprox
Precio vs calidad está bien, podrían mejorar pero no esta mal.
También hacen postres y estaban ricos.
Cuentan con parqueo. En la noche pueden haber muchos bichos en el techo por lo que sugiero tener cuidado para que no les caigan cosas.
