Pura Vida

"We used to love this place, until they changed their chef or something. The food is absolutely horrible, we tried ordering again today to give it one last chance, but it did not succeed, the food has no flavor, and things are either under cooked or over cooked. I hope you guys solve this problem"

"Simple service and superb attention. The waitressing staff was patient and very knowledgeable about the dishes. Although it is a costarican themed restaurant….the menus expands into more than just Spanish so you are not just limited to one style of cuisine. They must have an army in the kitchen or be super organized because waiting for food was no more than 10-15 minutes (I was there with a party of 20 people). The bar….very skilled bartender and not stingy. The drink portions were very good. (Ordered. Mojito and lime wasn’t powering anything…nor was the mint or the rum. It was just right). The bathrooms were clean…this is a very well organized restaurant."

"I've been stopping for lunch at quite a few spanish restaurants in Trenton and decided to try this one. The place is pretty big, with a decent sized off street parking lot. The customers are all friendly and they seem to get s nice day time crowd. If you are going here for a drink keep in mind the bar only seats 5. Very friendly staff but most of them seem to speak little English. The food is good but not quite at the level of Dubai or Sabor Latin. Still, a good place overall and I would come back."

"We came on a Monday to try the food and drinks while we were watching a game drinks were good food was amazing service was excellent definitely coming back we had ceviche and pork belly as appetizers it was good food"

"This was my first time eating at Pura Vida Restaurant. I go to Costa Rica once a year and really enjoy the tico dishes, well this place does not disappoint! The food was incredibly delicious and are large portions. The staff are extremely friendly I had a nice conversation with Andrew before we left. I cannot wait to go back."
