The location is in an area just north of San Carlos called "La Manga", so almost all the restaurants in the area are called as such. Remember this one is specifically Doña Rosita and is the largest building in this really tiny dirt road town. We ordered Agua chile mixto, cocktail de camaron, tostada mixto and micheladas. Everything was great. The locals warn about the raw food in the heat of summer, and recommend something treated with lime like ceviche or agua chile, or something cooked. The young locals stomached the raw cocktails no problem, though. Service was as expected. They were able to accommodate our table of 14 without a reservation. We got a free dessert because it was someone's birthday soon. They play this really loud, traditional song and blow whistles and gave a choco flan cake with a firecracker candle. This restaurant is definitely not low stimulation in high season. We did have a 5 year old at our table who absolutely hated the loud song and whistles, but she stuck it out as she's also a local.

It was nice to be able to have a few drinks, chips, salsa and guacamole while the kids place at the beach. This place is the place to come to if you want to put your feet in the sand and have a drink. It is not the place to come to if you want speedy service and be in and out. We sat ourselves and had to wait a bit to get any service. This is a must while in San Carlos. Just be prepared to have to wait for service.

The weight staff was very attentive, and the bartender can really make a rockin' Margarita! The decor is very high-end in this town. There are clean, beautiful lines, a decorative lit up tree, modern art on the wall. I had a perfectly cooked medium rare ribeye with potatoes, onions and mushroom. It was delicious and tender. My wife had baked salmon over saffron and lime rice. Also delicious. Star appetizer was the flatbread with goat cheese. It was outstanding. Our waiter, Orlando, was attentive and spoke fluent English, in addition to Spanish. We have been in San Carlos for four days now and have eaten essentially every meal out. This was by far the best place we've been. At the end of the meal, they were asking if we wanted dessert. I asked if they had cake because it was my wife's birthday. A few minutes later, out came a piece of delicious strawberry cheesecake with an accompany meant of music over the stereo system singing happy birthday . Excellent attention to detail.

The seating area is located at a semi-open installment which serves also larger groups. The food is fantastic, northern style and authentic. My favorite of all the delicious plates is the chamorro, oven baked lamb shank which is so tender it just falls apart from the bone. It is juicy and decently spicy, and is my reference -- exactly here in this small village -- compared to any other I have tasted in the Americas continent. The menu includes a good variety of local food and drinks. You can enjoy also the cazuela cocktail, a generous serving of fruit-based luquids and tequila mix.

I really don't recall ever having such a meaty tasting broth before. The menu is pretty good, see pics. Am going back to try everything.Especially the barbacoa (barbecue).
