Very nice bar to drink craft beer and snacks, friendly staff and good quality food.
Best bar in town! The staff are great, the music even better and the food is delicious.
Prices are standard for the area but it seems more worthwhile at Chivo as it's such a great atmosphere.
The service was good and the food was okay. Visited on a Taco Tuesday, so there was a bit of a crowd. The tacos were just okay, but the guacamole was good.
Great food. We had a great evening, met fun people and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Definitely come by.
Loved this place. Amazing Margaritas and Tacos. Tacos Tuesday was tremendous. Great venue and well run.
Food is super tasty and fresh. Ceviche is specifically good. Staff incredibly friendly and the drinks are also great. Worth the side trip to go. There's a small playground for the kiddies as well if they get bored.
We went once on Tuesday and Monday nights. On Tuesday they have half price tacos and on Mondays half price chicken wings if you buy beer with that. Food was quite good, we loved double IPA draft beer and nice atmosphere.
The drinks were good, the food was good, the service can be non existent at times
In the moment I met Matt, the image of Sir Richard Branson came to mind. Like Sir Richard, Matt's Costa Rico journey started where it was supposed to end. Matt didn't have enough money to head home at the end of his first trip. He certainly made the best of the situation. His wife, his daugher and El Chivo each serve as a testimonial to his character and commitment to his adopted home.
During Hurricane Nate, he had a simple goal, "Keep the Lights on". Through torrential rain, with 3 days of no power, he succeeded.
The food was to die for, The drinks were "mighty tasty" and the staff, including Henry and Carlos, were top-notch.
Our time at El Chivo was by far our favorite memory of our week of living dangerously in Playa Pelada. Thanks for the hospitality mate!
My favorite place and my favorite people in Nosara!
I loved this place. Food was fresh and tasty. The live music was awesome
Boring-ish. Good live music and beer options.
Came here from Samara for a couple of nights. What a blast. The food was great with lots of choice. Joellen and Matt and all the staff were friendly and helpful and smiling all the time. The night time entertainment blew us away. Particularly enjoyed Laura & Dan on Thursday night. Dancing with the Goddesses was a blast! Lots of really nice people -
expats and visitors and locals. Fabulous Monster Margaritas! If you are anywhere near Playa Pelada, stop in and enjoy.
Friendly good menu fresh ingredients music
Excellent drinks, food, and service at a reasonable price (for tourists). What more could you ask for? I ate sooooo many tacos on taco tuesday!
Food is good, but they are so overpriced and give you the littlest portions I have ever seen. You walk away hungry after paying $25 just for yourself. I honestly will not be back just for that reason
I ate here three times when I was staying in town. The service was always fast and friendly no matter how busy it was and everything I ordered always tasted great. Plus it is reasonably priced here.
