El Tiki Flamingo

Restaurant in Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

A restobar at Flamingo Beach

El Tiki Flamingo is a restobar in Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, in the Flamingo Beach area. It also uses the name El Tiki RestoBar. Food and drinks are offered together. You can plan a meal, a smoothie, or a drink rather than treating the place as a bar-only stop.

Flamingo, often called Playa Flamingo, is a small beach community on Costa Rica's northern Pacific coast. If you already live nearby or you are staying in town for the beach, this restobar is a local meal option across more than one part of the day. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks are all part of what you can come for.

Choose it for the sitting you need

The fastest way to decide is by meal period. Come for breakfast or brunch if your day starts on the sand. Come for lunch if you want a break without leaving town. Come for dinner if you want an evening plate. Drinks run with those sittings, so a lighter stop is possible too.

A published menu, a street number, and a clock-hour schedule are not available. In a town this size, that is common. The tradeoff is a same-day phone call instead of a printed timetable.

Residents can treat it as a nearby option on a weekday morning or an evening out. Visitors staying in Playa Flamingo can fold a meal into beach time without driving to Tamarindo or Playas del Coco. If you are coming from Liberia or another Guanacaste beach, leave extra time. Heat, rain, and slow coastal roads stretch short distances.

Healthy smoothies and artisanal food

Healthy smoothies and artisanal food are the named food offerings. In this climate, a smoothie is often the easiest order right after swimming. Artisanal food means prepared dishes, not only packaged snacks. Plate names and prices are not published.

Drinks sit with the meals. That can be a morning drink with breakfast or brunch, or something later with lunch or dinner. If beer, wine, coffee, or juice matters, sort that when you order.

Breakfast and brunch belong to the morning and can overlap. Lunch belongs to a midday pause. Dinner belongs to the evening. A smoothie or a drink works when you want something light. A full plate works when you have time to sit.

Diet needs are not mapped. Say so in plain language if you avoid dairy, nuts, shellfish, gluten, or meat. Blended tropical drinks often mix fruit with milk or other add-ins. Families can request a simpler plate. The kitchen's answer that day is the real menu.

Call 506 8787 7903 before you go

Clock hours are not posted. Beach restaurants in Guanacaste often shift with season, weather, and staffing. Dry-season weeks and quieter rainy months can look different. The meal periods still give you a frame. They still do not tell you whether the kitchen is open that day.

Reach El Tiki Flamingo at 506 8787 7903. The 506 prefix is Costa Rica's country code. From inside Costa Rica, dial 8787 7903. From another country, dial +506 8787 7903. An email address is not available, so the phone is the direct contact.

Keep the call short. Cover whether they are open, which meals are running, and when the kitchen stops taking orders. Add how to find the entrance in Flamingo, any allergy or diet you need handled, and whether a car space or step-free table is available. If no one answers, keep another meal option in town.

Mid-morning is the easy time to get confused. Breakfast and brunch can still both be in play at that hour. One question about which sitting is open tells you what you can order before you head into town.

Finding your way around Playa Flamingo

The address is Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. No street number or building name is included. The community is small. Once you are in town, local directions usually get you there faster than a missing street name.

Most visitors reach Flamingo from Liberia's airport or by road from Tamarindo or Playas del Coco. Plan that ride yourself, with extra time for heat, rain, or slow coastal traffic. Parking, sand access, and indoor versus outdoor tables are not described.

After dark or in a downpour, a map pin that looked fine at noon can dump you on the wrong side of town. Pair your ride with the same number you already called so you can get a landmark on the way.

Heat, rain, and how Flamingo meals actually work

Coastal Guanacaste is hot. A smoothie after the beach often feels better than a heavy plate at noon. A longer lunch or dinner makes more sense when you want shade and time to sit. Bring sun protection if you might wait outside. A cover-up over swimwear is often welcome at sit-down tables, even in an informal beach town.

Rainy months bring showers and more insects. Covered seating is worth wanting if clouds are building. Late December through Easter, and some dry-season weekends, get busier in Flamingo. Quieter weeks are usually easier for walk-ins.

Payment in this part of Costa Rica can be colones, U.S. dollars, or card. Smaller kitchens sometimes prefer cash or set a card minimum. Tipping customs vary. Look at the bill before you add more.

If you are pairing a meal with beach time, think about the access you will use and where bags can rest. Visitors often try to fit lunch between a tour and sunset. Residents more often want a weekday breakfast or a simple evening drink. Either way, lock the sitting before you leave, then enjoy the rest of the coast.

A simple plan for today

El Tiki Flamingo serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks at Flamingo Beach, with healthy smoothies and artisanal food as the named food focus. Dial 506 8787 7903, learn which sitting is open, and get a landmark for the entrance.

If you are already in Playa Flamingo, that call plus a short ride or walk is enough. If you are coming from Liberia or another Guanacaste beach, set the meal after you know they are serving. Keep a second kitchen in town in mind if the line does not connect. Then eat, get back to the sand, or continue along the coast.
