Five Maes Restaurant
FIVE MAES
In Uvita, right on the side of the costanera, you will find a perfect little burger and wings joint – whether you wish to dine in or pick up a takeaway bag, you know you will be getting a great quality meal, and quickly! Well known amongst the locals, Five Maes is a little restaurant with an amazing reputation.
THE SETTING, VIEW AND SURROUNDINGS
Five Maes sits along the costanera, in the ‘Plaza Pacific Pools’ building, just south of the Marino Ballena entrance road. There is more than enough parking in the gravel lot right in front of the restaurant.
The views extend towards the costanera, a perfect place to ‘car watch’ as large tanker trucks, stacked 4WDs, old pickup trucks stuffed with too many horses, massive cattle trucks and colorful buses come barreling through. Above the highway a green hill covered by lush tropical growth reminds you that, in Costa Ballena, you are just one step away from wilderness.
THE DECOR
The inside of Five Maes is reminiscent of a typical American diner – low and high seating is provided, and white, black, grey, red and orange – tiled splashback surrounds the space. A full menu is displayed over the ordering counter. AND a bonus – you can pay here using BITCOIN! You will see quite a few businesses (and roadside signs) in the area advising of Bitcoin friendliness.
THE FOOD
Five Maes Restaurant is famous for their variety of delicious burgers and chicken wings – but also offers sandwiches, chicken strips, poutine and milkshakes.
The burgers are made with high quality meats and are of a great consistency, even when full of ingredients and numerous extras. The fries and onion rings were cooked to perfection. Plenty of sides and special ingredients are available so that you can truly customize your burger to your liking – and ensure that no two visits are the same!
THE DRINKS
We only ordered the standard ‘cold beer while we wait for our order’ and ‘cold after-meal beer’ – the beers arrived promptly and sufficiently chilled.
