Immerse yourself in the heart of La Fortuna and discover the soul of Tiquicia, a place where tradition merges with innovation to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience. From its humble beginnings to its evolution as a culinary icon in the region, Tiquicia has been the fruit of the hard work and dedication of the Pérez Chaves family (Alberto and Mayela), who have turned their passion for cooking into a legacy for the entire community.

Inspired by Costa Rican cuisine and the richness of local culture, Tiquicia has been a beacon of authenticity and excellence for over seven years. Sonia Conejo, Mayela Chaves' mother, was the one who created this current menu. "She is a lady who, without any professional restaurant experience, was able to share with us a series of dishes that have carried with them love and care for many years." Mayela tells us that her mother has left her great things in her kitchen.

It is a tribute to our roots, a celebration of the diversity and richness of Costa Rican cuisine that goes back many years.

But beyond the food, Tiquicia is a symbol of community and family unity. From day one, the Pérez Chaves family has worked side by side to make this place a home away from home for all those who visit. From the grandmother who imparted her culinary wisdom to the children who proudly carry on her legacy, each member of the family has left their mark on this place, creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality not found anywhere else.

The launch of La Tabernita Tiquicia was the next step in this exciting journey, a tribute to the entrepreneurial spirit and passion for good food and good music. Here, the typical merges with the unexpected, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that invites you to stay and enjoy.
