Pura Vida Grill was born from a dream: to create a place where Costa Ricans living in Orlando could reconnect with the flavors, traditions, and warmth of their homeland. Orlando is home to a large community of ticos, and we understood that when we're far from our country, we look for spaces that make us feel at home.
Our first steps began on Saturday, December 2, 2023, when we opened our doors for the first time. During that first month, we shared our passion for Costa Rican cuisine with the community and confirmed there was a real need for a corner of Costa Rica in Orlando.
With a clear vision of what we wanted to build, we made the decision to temporarily close in January and February 2024 to completely renovate the restaurant. On March 1, 2024, we reopened with a fully transformed space — the Pura Vida Grill our customers know today.
Since then, Pura Vida Grill has become much more than a restaurant. We are a gathering place for the Costa Rican community — a place where our customs, culture, and pride in our roots are celebrated. Every dish we serve carries the authentic flavor of Costa Rica and the desire to share a little piece of our homeland with every person who visits us.
We keep growing thanks to the support of our customers, friends, and families. To all of them, thank you for being part of this story and for making Pura Vida Grill the true home of ticos in Orlando. ¡Bienvenidos!

"Highly recommend if you're in the mood for Central American cuisine. The food is extra fresh with great taste. Especially love their hot sauce. Must go!"
"Nice little authentic CostaRican place. We'll definitely go back! Food was good, ceviche was amazing and the juice too."
"We loved the food and the service, we were looking for authentic Costa Rican food and oh boy we found it. It was beyond what we expected — fresh food, delicious flavors and even fresh juices! We loved that you can also find treats from Costa Rica to go (chips, candies, etc). My husband is from Costa Rica and it's hard to find a place like this, so we are definitely coming back! Our favorite was the empanada arreglada and the arroz con pollo."
"Pura Vida Grill was my first introduction to Costa Rican food. The chifrijoes are bursting with flavor from the first to the last bite — definitely my favorite. Love the ceviche de pescado, carne tacos ticos, and the refreshing drinks: limonada con hierba buena and limonada con fresa. The staff is superb — humble, kind and very professional. My family and I have visited three times in the past month. We will definitely keep coming back!"
"I'm from Costa Rica, and this is the best Costa Rican restaurant I've tried since I left my country. The food is super warm and fresh, they have Imperial and they sell a great variety of Costa Rican products that you can't find in regular supermarkets. Don't hesitate to come and try the delicious cuisine of Costa Rica. Pura vida!"
