Beach Bites & Tropical Vibes

Sano Banano Restaurant & Bar has been a staple and fixture in the town for many years. It has been our pleasure since our opening and continues to be to this day to serve you natural, tasty, and hygienically prepared foods. We use high-quality oils and the freshest ingredients possible.

We specialize in vegetarian dishes, but we also serve fresh local fish and hormone-free chicken. Additionally, we offer numerous vegan and gluten-free options to cater to various dietary preferences. We take pride in crafting homemade coconut milk and baking our own bread. A recent addition to our menu is our artisan guilt-free chocolates, made with local rainforest honey. Additionally, we continue to offer our signature dried fruit blends, known as Cocozuma, which blend local tropical fruits with coconut. Stop by and discover the rich variety of flavors we have to offer.

We found this place by accident. It is central, it has parking, good prices, to eat, the rooms are clean, there is one in particular that is for sleeping, and it always seems like night. Breakfasts are included. What it lacks is a swimming pool. Recommended. The girl who helped us was very helpful. Attentive to any request. The receptionists are a little slower.

You definitely need to be in a no hurry kind of mood when dining here. Montezuma is a sleepy yet bustling community. Everyone is always extremely nice. Though the service definitely takes some time to come around & that's one of the reasons I rate this 4 star, I wish we could give half stars because they're really 4.5/5. The food has always been decent to great, I'd recommend the curry, though I wouldn't say they are exactly consistent. All cocktails have a unique flare. 🙂 One of the top places to eat when in Montezuma. I recommend to dine here 🙂

It was very quiet in the restaurant. Not really a pleasant atmosphere. Food was okay, although the fish buritto was not very tasty. Especially a lot of lettuce.The waiter did his best and was very friendly.

Charming place, elegant and natural at the same time, excellent service with professionals and friendly people, delicious and healthy food at the same time, a historical place but always being renewed.

Wow, the food and service is top notch! That combined with the relaxing surround of the back patio, only completes the pleasant ambiance.Came here for breakfast on March 3, 2024, and was going to get everything a' la carte, because I wanted refried beans and sour cream with eggs. Well voila, there was the exact order I was looking for: Huevos Rancheros, complete with everything! Except the coffee which I ordered in the large size. Just right and soooo delicious! The service was excellent and very quick with the food!The only drawback regarding the place is, some of the tables are rickety, wobbly and some, chunks of stone missing or cracked. I guess it may be an authentic rugged, tough look they're aiming for maybe?When I first came in that Sunday am, the young lady waitress by the doorway was a bit annoyed and acted as if she had something wedged up her....ahhh, rear.... Very unfortunate, she was this frustrated and angry that morning.But the waiter (didn't get his name) was friendly and very excellent every step of the way! People like my waiter - along with the excellent food and drinks, keep you coming back for more! Thanks whatever your name was!

On Monday my family enjoyed 4 great meals with friendly service at this unique landmark restaurant, and as we left one of the servers invited us back the following night for live music. We returned Tuesday for dessert and drinks, and unfortunately the service and food didn’t match our experience the previous night. The mousse I ordered was a fraction of the size I had seen pass me the previous night, and my drink never arrived. I tried to catch the server’s eye to re-order the drink but she never looked my way and never returned to our table again.

The food is delicious especially the nachos with a generous amount of toppings and piping hot! Also had a rice bowl full of flavour. What stands out the most is how great the staff look after you — so attentive and good sense of humour and a warm inviting ambiance. Highly recommend
