El Jorón - Puntarenas

On this trip to Puntarenas we have selected the Restaurante y Marisquería El Joron (strategically located above the road of Paseo de los Turistas and the beach) after reading some reviews (thanks to the municipality) and also the recommendation of my uncle. We ordered the Patacones con Frijoles as an appetizer, patacones were crispy and tasty, as the main course we had the Arroz con Camarones, which was seasoned for perfection, to balance the seafood flavors, the baked chicken was tender and juicy on the inside, also delicious, the broken yarn was tasteful. Overall we all agreed that the food is good and also the waiter was friendly and helpful. Another good place to eat in Puntarenas.

What a pleasant surprise was El Jorón! The food was good, the beer was extra cold and the prices were very reasonable. What my experience disassembled was the service. This felt like a rare instance, experienced a day in the life of a Costa Rican. Relaxed meal overlooking families on the street spend a day on the beach, some football on TV, and no titled overweight pasty people (I am two of three). My Spanish is not great, but I think it is important to try (if in Rome). This was the only place throughout the journey where the server took the time and patience to gently correct me, but not to switch over in English. During our travels from Costa Rica, I fight that I am the only non-local in a restaurant. If you're close, please stop by. Calm down!

Big T-Bone Steak, friendly waiter, next to the ocean. Everything you need!

Great food, the service was good but they need to have more people in their staff. It was a long wait but worth it

Very good service and excellent food..very fresh fish of course. As are most people, we were reluctant to visit a restaurant during this pandemic, but everything was distanced and careful, lots of fresh air, and we felt very safe from exposure...Great Margarita, also!!!! (Wine a bit pricey)
