Lunch Quest

Fifteen lunches, one small town

Every week for four months, Christina went looking for the best lunch in San Juan del Sur and filmed what she found. This is the list. It is genuinely how you learn a town — and it is a fair picture of what living here looks like on a Wednesday.

Juanita's Kitchen

San Juan del Sur · 18 Feb 2026

Literally on Playa Majagual. A restaurant on the sand.

Christina's own series, on @christina_alty — the descriptions are hers, condensed. Five of the fifteen carry location data in the original post and are placed from it; the rest are placed by what she said in the caption, which is why most of them just read "San Juan del Sur" rather than a false precision. Places change hands and hours move — this is a starting list, not a guarantee.

Why this is on a property site

Because "what is there to do" is the second question every buyer asks, and the honest answer to it is a list of real places with names on them rather than an adjective. The houses are all within about fifteen minutes of this town.

Ask about any of them

Christina lives in San Juan del Sur and shows these herself. Tell her which one and she will send photographs, the deed position and what the closing actually costs.
