Will be at the Cocal October 15 through the 19th. Have stayed there once before but never ate at the Cocal! Was wondering if anyone has eaten there and if so there opinion on the food and the prices!!
Depending on your length of stay, I would say eat there once or twice and change it up a little. Lunch is filling an moderately priced. Yes the breakfast is free, but not much to it. In my opinion, Maria Alta (south side of town across, from the gym) has the best breakfast in town. Lots of fruit, American, Tico or just about anything you want and cheap. I find myself eating at Dan's Sunrise breakfast more than anywhere. Food is good, not as cheap as Maria Alta but there are a lot of Gringo's there that fill me in on what's going on in Jaco.
Good place for lunch or basic dinner is Los Amigo's across the street from Pops Ice cream. Great place to cool off and have a beer or 2. A/c inside. Great hamburgers and chicken wings. Chris, who owns and manages the place is a good guy from West Palm Beach, Fl. Tell him I sent ya.
