La experiencia comienza cuando pasas por las puertas de Jaguar Negro y te transportarás a un oasis tropical mexicano con aires relajados y elegancia casual. Primero descubres un jardín secreto rodeado de agua y plantas nativas mexicanas y desde ahí emprendes un viaje sonoro, sensorial y visual que te transportará a México sin salir de Costa Rica.

Nuestro menú esta inspirado en la cocina de cantina, en los platillos de tradición y en las técnicas ancestrales que acompañan cada preparación. Todo se disfruta alrededor de una mesa pensada para ser compartida.

Local people highly recommended the place, but it didn't meet our expectations. The cocktails were great, but the food was average at best, with one of the dishes - a picanha steak - chewy and inedible. Service was fast, and the waiters were nice, with one of them speaking good English.

Food and drinks were great. Our service started out really well but faded fast when a larger table was sat next to us, then our server moved on. We kept having to flag down someone for water, the bill, etc. Had he come back, we would have ordered more drinks!

El servicio y el ambiente espectaculares, pero la comida estuvo insípida, ni comparado a la real comida mexicana. Ni las micheladas tenían buen sabor. Relación precio comida fatal
