El Cacique is a local restaurant near the centre of San Vito serving solid Costa Rican cooking to a mostly local crowd. The menu covers the familiar ground of casados, grilled meats, rice dishes, and fresh juices made from whatever fruit is in season. The atmosphere is relaxed and the prices are firmly in local rather than tourist territory.
A reliable choice for dinner when the day has run long — the kitchen stays open later than many places in town, and the portions are substantial enough to fuel a full day's birding or hiking.
