What customers say?

“ My cousin and I had the pleasure of experiencing Cocina Ecléctica while vacationing in Costa Rica. This hidden gem was recommended to me by Star, a beautiful soul who attended my very first yoga retreat hosted in Costa Rica back in 2018. She insisted I couldn’t leave Costa Rica without dining here and now I see why. Joanna’s home is truly an oasis of lush tropical plants, vibrant art, and yes, a few friendly cats and dogs roaming about (don’t worry, they won’t disturb you). We were in awe from the moment we walked through the door. There was no menu, no expectations you simply sit down and dishes begin to appear. I honestly couldn’t even name everything we ate, but every bite was fresh, authentic, and absolutely exquisite. It felt like being welcomed into someone’s home and gifted with their culinary brilliance. And the best part? The price was about half of what we would’ve paid for a meal of this caliber in the States. Thank you, Joanna, for blessing our vacation with such a memorable dining experience. I’d tell anyone visiting Costa Rica: don’t board the plane without trying Cocina Ecléctica! PS Be sure to make a reservation! ”

“ Interesting concept. I asked Joana if she prepped the meals beforehand. She said she goes out the day of to buy some groceries. Then it’s all inspiration from there. Definitely a form of art where the meal is a blank canvas and she paints it with intention and love. ”

“ I came across Cocina Ecléctica randomly in an article on “what to do for one night in San Jose”. This was such a cool experience and I wish my families flights hadn’t been delayed so they could have joined. Very unsuspecting on a regular residential street, no signs in sight for the place (kind makes it more exciting though). Contact Joanna on WhatsApp for a reservation, preferably 1 day in advance. The staff and Joanna herself, will serve you food until you cannot eat anymore, dessert included. No menu, you get the experience of eating whatever they are cooking that day. I asked no questions. All incredibly delicious. See pictures. The vibes are 15/10. *chefs kiss* When you find it, ring the doorbell and you walk in to an “eclectically” decorated home turned restaurant. Her cats and dogs are running around but don’t bother unless you want to be :) Highly recommend trying this place. ”
