Pura Vida Ticos - Manville

We just got back from Costa Rica and we were looking for good Costa Rican food. This place is a hidden gem with very delicious ceviche and tostones and a very kind owner! We will definitely be back.

This is my favorite place to go when I want a home made CR dish

Authentic Costa Rican food, for us ticos this will be our home away from home. Although... there's 1 girl server who's really rude.

The food was quite ordinary—nothing exceptional at all. The chiverre empanadas, bread pudding, and maicena tamal were quite disappointing. We're in the USA, so there's no need to serve dishes that feel like they're straight out of a coffee plantation. They were made so poorly that I ended up tossing them.

I always seem to encounter issues with my orders. In the past, I’ve received missing items, but today I was disappointed to find a really old salad included. I’d prefer if they simply let me know when there’s no salad available; I would totally understand. Just please don’t send out old, unpleasant salads.
