Awesome place to stay for one night, with a guarded parking space! the owner is super friendly and let us stay there for free! there are bathrooms all night open but no showers.
the gate is closed all night long, so we had to wait until 7.30 that the guard opened the gate!

Very nice place, near Braulio Carrillo. The owner Diego is fastastic, explain a lot of things about Costa Rica. Stay here for free, though we had a very nice juice and a plate evening. Very quite at night and with a guard. We staid here with our three dogs.
Hemos estado una noche aquí gratis. Diego, el dueño, es muy amable y nos explicó muchas cosas sobre la zona y Costa Rica. Está muy cerca de Braulio Carrillo. Tomamos unos zumos buenísimos y un plato de patatas con queso y bacon muy bueno también. Muy bien situado y muy bonito el restaurante. Estuvimos con nuestros tres perros.

We arrived on a Saturday night. We didn’t WhatsApp beforehand and we received a very warm welcome. There was enough space at the back for two rigs, internet from the restaurant reached our campers.

Very nice quiet place to stay just outside of San Jose area. The owner Diego is very friendly and is planning to accommodate Overlanders more. You can stay for free and optional eat in their restaurant (which we did, delicious food and beers). Best to send message in WhatsApp before you go (see number below).

Very nice people here and a very nice location. We contacted Diego via WhatsApp and he said we are welcome and can sleep here in our van. Diego even invited us for great pizza and sangria in the Restaurant. It‘s a great place with lots of friendly people!!

They had a big music event at the restaurant when we stayed here with limited parking space available but they still offered us a parking spot and even the most quiet place at the area.

We were able to use the WiFi and the bathrooms.

This is a very pretty and good restaurant where we could stay with our Unimog in the backyard, well protected from the main road and save. The owner Diego is very nice, he offered us to stay here while visiting San Jose which is about 20 km from here. He supported us with lots of information, we could use the toilets of the restaurant, you get electricity, water and very good WIFI. The meals are outstanding and worth their prices. Diego welcomes overlanders and likes traveling himself.
