LAPA'S COSTA RICAN BISTRO – Mexican
Pura vida in a Tamiami Trail storefront. Lapa's has been cooking Costa Rican food in Bonita Springs since 2014, family-owned and family-run, and the kitchen keeps it honest: arroz con pollo with sweet plantains, ropa vieja over rice and beans, shredded chicken tostadas, skirt steak, arroz con camarones, ceviche, and guacamole mashed to order. Lunch specials run midday and happy hour follows. Diners come back for how fresh it tastes, and mention the speed and warmth of the service almost as often as the food. Small room, big plates, no fuss.
