I will definitely check this place out during Superbowl week since I love good seafood and don't give a shit about atmosphere.

My amiga took me to this seafood restaraunt La Princessa. It was about a 10 minute, $5 ride from the SL. I had the best meal there. We both had a whole, deep fried, butterflied tilapia. They created a pocket in the middle of the fish and added shrimp, clams, scallops, octopus, squid. Great meal for $8. |

Great meal for $8. A long time favorite of mongers. Atmosphere "0" food "7 to 10" depending on how picky you are. La Princessa Marina a great value. Hard to beat the price for the quality of the food. |

La Princessa Marina is a favorite of mine as well. I go to the one in Sabana. I like the whole fried fish.

Squirrel, Tell any cab driver you want to go to La Princessa Marina in Sabana, and they'll know where to go. It's about a 15 minute cab ride from the gulch. Addresses don't mean much in Costa Rica.

Sabana location, nice place, super clean, packed at lunch with office worker type ticos which should tell u alot, atmosphere at least equal or better to the restaurant at the DelRey. Not a romantic type place, more like a very clean semi modern Centro Americano place. Only thing I don't like is tables are too close. Very reasonable. Order two drinks at the same time when they are busy because they are understaffed & you will wait. Seafood soup is tops; excellent civeche. Mandatory place for early or late lunch--12-1 too crowded. 4 stars. Never disappointed. |

The atmosphere at the Sabana and Zapote-Curridabat locations leave a lot to be desired, even though the food is great. I found the MORAVIA location BEST--- best atmosphere, great service and outstanding seafood. My first choice for family dinners on special occassions. A treat for 8 to 10 persons of cerviche or shrimp appetizers, langusta [lobster] in 5 different styles , great fresh seafood selection,, and desserts--- all for about $100   That includes soft drinks for the youngsters, beer , and usually a couple bottles of excellent Chilean Chardonay white wine.
Have not tried the Alajuela location yet--- Anybody comment??? Cygnus

A couple of years ago, I asked a taxi driver to take us to a good seafood restaurant, and he took us to La Princesa Marina. I’ve been going back every visit. Two orders of ceviche, two lobster dinners, and a whole bottle of Casillero del Diablo Chardonnay for 30 bucks. You can’t beat that. Irish Drifter, here is rough map that includes the Alajuela location. http://www.yapanqui.com/directions.html |

http://www.yapanqui.com/directions.html Many thanks DG. Will give it a try next time I am in the area. I can walk to the one in La Sabana so usually go there but while the food is great the atmosphere really leaves a lot to be desired

I haven't been to la Princessa in Alajuela but I have been to the ones in la Sabana and Moravia. A little out of the way but I agree with Cygnus the Moravia resturant is a big step up in atmosphere, worth the extra taxi fare. The quality of the food I can't tell the difference always fantastic. |
