    Simply put - Are you in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua ? Are you hungry ? … well, you have found the right place. Great food, great customer service, open court yard setting, street parking right up front …. Plenty of sitting…. Give these guys a try …. I did and came back twice in a day and half… Dale Pues !

    Waited for food 50 minutes. It was ok, staff appologized for it. Two drinks for 300C$ wasn't okay. Couldn't feel any alcohol in it - disappointment. Food was tasty but the payment? Waiter asked for tip and I agreed but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the receipt. There was already 10% included. So they made it double! What a shame for such a scam. Could be such a nice restaurant but the staff made it all wrong...

    One of the greatest and oldest SJDS’ gems. Now in a new and better location it’s a great place to chill, have really good food and enjoy the day.

    Absolutely a hidden gem and the best restaurant we tried so far in San Juan del Sur. We had falafel and hummus as starters, black bean burger and quinoa bowl as main dishes. Also a good choice for vegans or vegetarians. It was delicious. Very nice ambience, friendly staff and clean.

    Our to-go dinner was very delicious last night. We celebrated our 7 year marriage anniversary over our favorite burgers and it makes my heart so happy. Thank you for having the best most beautiful restaurant in town, the best service and the most flavorful food!! #DiakachembaDalePuess 💙💙

    Great burgers. Very yummy, service is a little slow. The burgers were great and the interior is lovely. Tho slightly on the pricier side, I recommend if you fancy a burger.

  • 4/5 Karolina D. 1 month ago on Google • 291 reviews New
    This restaurant is cozy and serves tasty food and cocktails. The vegetarian selection is great - I tried the black bean burger and it was very good. However, the chips could be improved by serving them hotter and with more flavor. Overall, a nice spot for a meal!

    Good place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Enjoyed a few drinks and a breakfast sandwich. The blue cheese burger is good but the blue cheese is a bit weak for my taste. Overall a good experience.

    Really enjoyed dinner out in Dale Pues. Definitely one of the more aesthically pleasing restaurants in San Juan del Sur. We stopped in on a quiet Monday night and had two Dale Burgers. The burgers and chips were fresh and tasty. Service was perfect as well. Would recommend for a dinner / lunch in San Juan.

    No location and love this place, only downfall is the view from the 2nd story is gone. But here at New location less noise, better airflow and still great service and food.

    Absolut zu empfehlen! Von der Straße aus unscheinbar, aber wenn man den Gang nach hinten geht, kommt man in ein richtig tolles Restaurant. Hier gibt es sehr leckeres Essen zu guten Preisen (wir empfanden die Preise als nicht überteuert). Entspanntes Ambiente und ein sehr netter Service (auch auf Englisch). Weil es uns so gut geschmeckt hat und wir uns so wohlgefühlt haben, waren wir 2x hintereinander hier essen. Es gibt glutenfreie Optionen und generell Angaben im Menü. Wir waren zwar immer abends essen, aber die Frühstückskarte liest sich auch gut. Kartenzahlung möglich. Auf den Bildern: Dale Burger, Nica Bowl mit Nica Käse & Vegan Chipotle Salad (beides gluten-free)

    Great place. Ignore the entrance and wander in, well worth it. Nice food. Lovely staff, very attentive and helpful…handsome lot too.

  • 5/5 John 4 months ago on Google • 100 reviews
    We ate here for a late lunch on a rainy day. The entrance looks a little shady, but once you get back to the actual restaurant it’s a little slice of heaven. The breakfast tacos were outstanding, and the Nica Breakfast was pretty good too! The boozy coffee was a little less flavorful than I would have hoped for. I’d definitely come here again. Street parking.

    This is a true 5-star experience. It is a very inviting and clean atmosphere with excellent garden seating. The staff is super friendly. I can not say enough about the food and drinks, but our breakfast was so delicious that we came back the same day for dinner!! We will absolutely be visiting again during our next trip SJDS.

  • 5/5 lynn s. 3 months ago on Google • 73 reviews New
    Very good quality of food with a decent range of veggie and non veggie options. Not the cheapest place in town but not too expensive for the quality of food. Service very friendly, prompt and efficient.

  • 5/5 Arram H. 2 weeks ago on Google • 66 reviews New
    Truly a hidden gem in SJDS. The lighting, the atmosphere, the service, the food, the drinks, all impeccable. Also, the prices are less than most of the 'nice' places in SJDS. Don't be scared by the corridor entrance. It opens up into a beautiful open garden!

  • 5/5 william c. 6 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Amazing service and really good food! The prices are also legit!

    Chill courtyard open a bit later than other cafés. Friendly service, good atmosphere and decent selection of food and drinks.

  • 5/5 Sabrina L. 8 months ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Oh my gosh, the french toast was so delicious. The perfect sweet that I was looking for. My son got the burger and really enjoyed it. The smoothies were very refreshing. We love local food and have enjoyed the nica breakfast, but we were looking for something different. This fit the bill and then some. I will be back before we leave town. Yummy. Go, you won't regret it.

    What happened to the Happy Hour menu (drinks and great food)? This was our favorite place to visit when we are in town, now, no bagels, slow service and no happy hour menu. what happened?

  • 5/5 honeygirl .. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    (2023) First, the place is beautiful. The fish burger and dale burger are amazing, the onion rings are another level (definitely must try), the michelada is so good and Allan is the best. He’s so friendly and fun!! We went back just for him and tried the coffee which was also really good. (2024) We came back and also really recommend the cocktails here. The espresso martini and jalapeño culantro margarita are SO good. It’s not hard to find cocktails in San Juan but it is hard to find really good ones. We love Allan!!!

  • 5/5 L H. 1 month ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    We were recommended to come here based on their ability to understand the need to follow a gluten free diet. We passed over the coeliac card and they completely understood. They have gf options clearly marked but also went through other options. GF wise went for the GF bowl with added chicken and cheese. I went for the jalapeño chicken. Both were delicious. The setting is stunning and service great. We highly recommend and very glad that we visited.

    One of the best restaurants in San Juan, they have all kind of food and amazing fresh cookies every day 😍 אחת מהמסעדות הטובות בסן חואן, מקום כייפי לשבת בכל זמן ביום, פלוס יש להם עוגיות שוקולד ציפס שנאפות שם כל יום😍

    Staying in San Juan Del Sur for 5 weeks and read great reviews - even drove past it a couple of times ….! It is so true what another review said about the ‘shady’ entrance - the restaurant and huge inner courtyard is stunning with a magical atmosphere of lights and trees. Very clean, excellent food, wifi and attentive service. This is what you want to experience once you’ve had enough of the beach side overrated restaurants where you are constantly hassled by vendors. I do recommend this💜

  • 5/5 Lauren H. 8 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    I came here 3 times during my stay. I got the falafel burger and veggie burrito, both of which were fresh, sufficient portions, and healthy. Would definitely come back here again. I have an açaí bowl which is huge!!! Very delish

    Lovely place with delicious 🩵 ALL DAY BREAKFAST 🩵 The ambiance was peaceful, the service was quick, and the coffee was strong. Make sure to ask for a breakfast menu if you arrive any other time other than bfast! Try the cinnamon French toast and the breakfast sandwiches

  • 5/5 Casey C. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice location in town with a big menu. The chipotle chicken with mash potatoes was incredible. Good smoothies and variety, but $5-$9 so a bit pricier than local joints, but not by much.

  • 5/5 Miranda M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is hands down the best breakfast in SJDS. We had the Israeli breakfast and breakfast tacos, plus some sides. The spicy cilantro sauce and hummus are to die for. We see that they have real Caesars with Clamato (oh Canada) and will be back!

  • 5/5 Feÿa The P. 2 years ago on Google
    🌸Found here is a lovely spot with a variety of delicious dishes and beautiful garden🌟 My wife had a healthy abundant salad which was satiating and satisfying. She included a vegan black bean patty with a side of grilled mix veggies and honey mustard. The vegetarian burrito was my choice and can be made vegan. Added avocado and it was superb. Feÿa, our puppy enjoyed a clean cooked chicken and at another time a yummy fish fillet✨🎉✨

  • 5/5 K C. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great place to work. They have wall outlets for chargers everywhere, comfy seating, reasonable food and drinks. I lovvvvvved the double burger I had and their iced lattes are pretty good as well. Will be back!

  • 5/5 Brandon P. 2 years ago on Google
    AMAZING burgers, probably the freshest and best tasting hamburger I've had in my entire life! The Dale burger is something else, you have to try it if you're a fan of hamburguesas! Their fish n chips and burritos were also awesome and it's very affordable! Oh and the service has always been amazing, the best restaurant in terms of quality to price in SJDS for me!!

  • 5/5 Glynis E. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jacky D. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my absolute favourites in SJDS, and the cafe that always had terrific, friendly service too. I came several times and especially loved the shakshuka with pitta and tahini which I ate on two or three visits. The hummus was good on another occasion, as was the iced latte.

  • 5/5 Ian G. 1 year ago on Google
    We saw on Google reviews that this is the best breakfast in San Juan del Sur, now we have only eaten one breakfast here so far, but I'm willing to bet that this will be the best breakfast in town. The atmosphere is a quiet garden in the middle of the city with a lot of seating. Beautiful furniture. When we ate here there were only about eight customers and we were greeted and seated immediately. The breakfast menu has around 12 distinctly different items, everything for anybody. We had the huevos rancheros, and it was huge. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The gallo de pinto was ideal. The bacon was perfect flavored and crispy. The vegan avocado toast was wonderful, almost too much to finish. My overall favorite was the brecky bagel. And the coffees were absolutely to die for. And the service was perfect. If you eat only one breakfast in San Juan del Sur, you have to eat it here.

  • 3/5 Robert 1 year ago on Google
    That place looks super nice and the staff was very friendly. The food was unfortunately not good. The fries were soggy and the fish of the „drunk pescado“ very dry. Furthermore the portions are small and the price is in the higher range.

  • 4/5 mike p. 1 year ago on Google
    At first, I was not happy with my wife's restaurant choice - simply cause it was pretty dark and looked more like a club or bar. With kids, that didn't seem to be the right environment. But I admit, even though the service was just average, the ambiance pretty dark, the food was REALLY good, and after the first bite, I apologized and praised my wife's choice. Probably one of the best restaurants in San Juan del Sur.

  • 5/5 Michal S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant in a really cozy atmosphere. Varied menu with gluten free (and also vegetarian and vegan) options. Highly recommended if you are in the area!

  • 5/5 Abigail J. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a beautiful restaurant! The food is reasonably priced. The chipotle chicken with mash and veg was incredible if we were here for longer we would have had it again 😂 we also had Nutella doughnuts and they were tasty too
