La experiencia comienza cuando pasas por las puertas de Jaguar Negro y te transportarás a un oasis tropical mexicano con aires relajados y elegancia casual. Primero descubres un jardín secreto rodeado de agua y plantas nativas mexicanas y desde ahí emprendes un viaje sonoro, sensorial y visual que te transportará a México sin salir de Costa Rica.

Nuestro menú esta inspirado en la cocina de cantina, en los platillos de tradición y en las técnicas ancestrales que acompañan cada preparación. Todo se disfruta alrededor de una mesa pensada para ser compartida.

This is a fun place to dine, especially taking out of town guests. The food is pricey for what is offered. Avoid the atún, unless you are craving smoked ham. The drinks are creative and tasty. The staff is very friendly, but seem to be under pressure to turn the tables quickly.

Everything was great except for a surcharge on additional “salsa” which was both expensive and ridiculous. This details matter

El lugar está decorado de manera elegante, y todos los rincones evocan a México. El servicio es excelente. Probamos los tacos, excelente sabor, pero la porción es muy pequeña para el precio( 2 tacos no alcanzan para saciar). Probamos la quesadilla, una delicia. Recomendado. Si es un lugar para regresar.

Very cute place. Reminds me of NYC soho restaurants. Cobble stone roads and all… food was good and presented well. Service was amazing. Highly recommend for a dinner party or date night.

Excelente sabor de sus platillos complementado con atención de primera. Probamos los chilaquiles con salsa verde y Huevos rancheros con paqueques con nutela como postre. Delicioso todo. Súper recomendado.
