El Pozo Restaurant

We tried out the newest restaurant in San Juan del Sur, El Pozo. Located half a block to the market (two doors from the art gallery.) The food was very good (I had the pork chops and Dan had the steak). We are very excited for our friends, Christian, Claire and Shaun. The decor is trendy Europe-meets-Latin-America.

Lemon Cheesecake in San Juan del Sur

This lemon cheesecake was my dessert at El Jardin Garden Hotel & Restaurant. This is one of our favorite restaurants in San Juan del Sur. El Jardin's regular menu offers a blend of Thai/Asian and Mexican flavors fused together. Weekly specials include a sushi, shrimp tacos, Thai fish cakes and shrimp fritters. Despite the wonderful dishes, my favorite part of the dining experience is the dessert. Weekly cheese cakes include berry medley cheese cake, Bailey's cheesecake, white chocolate cheesecake and lemon mousse cheesecake. El Jardin is owned by very good friends, April Whann, her son Brandon Whann, and her mother Valerie Castillo. (April is known as the Cheesecake Queen or Dessert Queen of San Juan del Sur).

The restaurant is located 5km north of San Juan del Sur on La Cholocata Road. Operating hours: 5 pm to 10 pm, Thursday through Sunday. For reservation call (505) 880-4765 or (505) 896-2179 or email awhann@hotmail.com.
