Greetings from the Delgado - Solano Family!  
    
         
  Welcome to
Pura Vida Restaurant of Estes Park
   
                                         ...Authentic Costa Rican Cuisine!
  
     
Pura Vida (POO-rah VEE-dah), used by Costa Ricans since 1956, literally translated means "Pure Life."  Contextually, it means "Full of Life," "Purified life," "This is living!" or "Going great!"  It is used mainly as a greeting, as a farewell, or to express satisfaction. 

I'm Carlos Delgado, Pura Vida Chef.  We're a family who've been in the food business over 30 years.  For nearly 20 years, I worked in Costa Rican restaurants, including one of our own in Monteverde, Costa Rica
 
In addition to operating our restaurant, I also worked for the Town of Monteverde, and as the town was searching for a "sister city," we discovered Estes Park.  So we traveled here at first as part of Monteverde Town Committee, officially beginning the partnership with Estes Park as "sister cities."
  
My family and I fell in love with this marvelous town, which is similar to Monteverde in that it's also a tourist destination.  We decided to make the move from Costa Rica in 2008, and opened Pura Vida to share our wonderful Costa Rican recipes with the people of Estes Park and its many visitors. 
 
Pura Vida is all of us — myself, my wife Elieth, and my kids (who are not so little any more) Rebecca, Josue, Karla, and Carlitos
 
We brought a taste of Costa Rica with us, and we invite you to enjoy authentic Costa Rican food, music and culture at Estes Park's own
Pura Vida Restaurant — THIS IS LIVING!
