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.

El valor precio/comida no es positivo. La mariscada que sale en el menú para compartir es un total fracaso. 2 aros de calamar, 4 camarones y de los pequeños, 5 conchas de mejillón en una cama de fideos(mal hechos) por un valor de 27000 colones. Un rib eye con un mayor porcentaje de grasa que en parte no se pudo comer. En general, para el precio, los platos no reflejan calidad cualitativa ni cuantitativamente. Las bebidas, lo único que estuvo muy bien. Cuando llegamos a comentarle al mesero sobre la experiencia, nos dijo que hubiéramos pedido lo que el recomendó para asegurarnos la calidad de los platos; lo cual es totalmente inaceptable: todos los platos deberían ser recomendables.

I don't recommend it. The food was terrible and expensive:( We ordered tuna...it was tasteless and it wasn't fresh. The service was very, very slow. We had a reservation but we got a table in the front yard. The restaurant is nice and it has a good vibe but not in the front yard:( The margarita was good.

My husband and I went on a Friday night date night. The ambiance was perfect… from the music, the lighting, the decor and the water feature. The service was impeccable. There was so much attention given to detail. My spicy margarita was delicious. The food was beautifully presented and we enjoyed the flavors. The potions were nice. My only critique is that the chicken was a little dry in the mole. We will definitely be back!

El personal fue bastante amable, desde nuestra llegada a la recepción, hasta el momento de ubicarnos en nuestra mesa. Una vez sentadas, nuestro mesero se presentó y estuvo muy atento con los detalles de los ingredientes y recomendaciones. La comida estuvo deliciosa, los cócteles en su punto y el postre estuvo de 10. Por ser nuestra primera visita, nos ofrecieron un recorrido para conocer los diferentes espacios disponibles y fue el complemento de la experiencia en este restaurante. Muchas gracias por preocuparse por hacer al comensal sentirse cómodo y a gusto en todo momento!

Los precios demasiado elevados en este restaurante y muy pocas opciones para escoger en el menú. Los tacos que se suponían eran plato fuerte, eran de un tamaño muy pequeño. La atención no fue la mejor. No volveremos definitivamente

As soon we arrived the hostess was very welcoming. They assisted us in taking our photo to capture the memory. We were guided to our table and then provided a thorough breakdown of the menu. What I truly appreciated was that our server brought over a board that had all of the meats to show a visual of the portion size. That assisted us with our dinner selection. The drinks were aesthetically appealing & delicious. We stayed until they closed and didn’t even feel rushed to vacant the premises. Definitely recommend!!!
