Bar

👍👍 This place is great. Our server Dante was perfect. He recommended the popcorn chicken Mac & Cheese & it was ‘sooo’ good. The chicken is crispy, covered in cheese with the macaroni underneath. Every bite was sensational. The quesadilla is a must. It has fried chicken, fries & some ‘flavorful’ sauce...

Photo Parador - Cinta Costera

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Very nice place to take a walk, ride a bike or just enjoy in the views of the skyscrapers and Pacific ocean. The whole area is maintained daily and looks nice and tidy. You can get a refreshing "rapsado" at every corner and later in the evening you can even grab something to eat. Recommended.
