Lapa's Costa Rican Bistro In Bonita Spr

Overall nice restaurant. Friendly staff and fresh, tasty food.

We tried their lunch specials—carne en salsa and arroz con pollo (vegetarian). The shredded meat was a bit bland; perhaps I anticipated more spiciness. Overall, the dishes were fair, and the portion sizes were adequate. The service and ambiance were good.

The decor is very nice and the service was great but the food was on a whole different level. I cannot emphasize enough how bland and tasteless this food was. Seasoning and flavor were just not wxistent. I tried to addlime and salt and other stuff but it just wasnt working. Maybe the locals here areused to it and enjoy it but being a cuban from miami and eating flaverful food al lthe time, this is just no comparison and doesnt ac urately represent latin or cuban food in any way. Parking is not too bad. But im sure it gets difficult on a busy night.

Great little place for a delightful Spanish meal. I had the Chifrijo appetizer as my main course. The rice, black beans, chimichurri with shredded chicken and sliced avocado on top, was delicious! The empanadas were great, we got to try beef, chicken and cheese. My husband had the arroz con pollo and it was very good. Our favorite part of the meal were the amazing churros!!! I would love to go back tomorrow morning just to have them with coffee.

It's not so great, with a limited menu, not so authentic Costa Rican food. They need to improve in quality wine and service. Tilapia ceviche is NOT a good option. They have the potential, but good quality food willalways be the key to success.
