We’ll Steal Your Heart And Your Hunger
Carlito’s Restaurant & Bar is a Latin-fusion restaurant in Bahia Ballena. We specialize in Mexican food dishes and drinks with a touch of Costa Rican, Cuban, and American influence.
The owner is an experienced restaurant and catering chef who has worked in the industry for over 20 years in both the United States and Costa Rica.
Our goal at Carlito’s is to provide a quaint and cozy ambiance where you feel like you are having a relaxed evening in your own backyard – except this backyard has palm trees and a starry sky – with spectacular drinks and delectable food. We really do work to steal your heart and your hunger.
Vegan and vegetarian options available.
