Long Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a fully operating, highly profitable Mexican restaurant together with the commercial real estate it occupies — all in one transaction. Reparito House Mexican Food is a well-established local favorite located in Potrero, offering strong cash flow, proven branding, and exceptional visibility in one of Guanacaste’s fastest-growing coastal corridors.
Positioned as a prime corner unit within a commercial center, the restaurant benefits from outstanding exposure. It is just a short walk to Playa Penca — one of Potrero’s most beautiful white-sand beaches — and every car and pedestrian heading to the beach passes directly in front of the property. In addition, all traffic traveling to Las Catalinas and Discovery Land flows by the restaurant, creating constant, high-quality visibility from both locals and visitors.
Reparito House is known for its authentic Mexican cuisine, created by owners originally from Mexico City. The restaurant features a cohesive, professionally executed brand presence across all customer touchpoints, reinforced by more than 200 five-star Google reviews that reflect a loyal following and an exceptional reputation.
From an investment perspective, the business operates at approximately 40% net profit with an estimated ~12% cap rate and documented year-over-year growth. The restaurant is supported by a stable, well-trained team — including original staff members — allowing for minimal day-to-day owner involvement and a smooth transition to new ownership. The operation also includes an active liquor license, adding valuable revenue potential and operational flexibility.
The offering includes a titled commercial condominium comprising two combined units with access to an expansive terrace and outdoor dining area, a fully equipped and operational restaurant layout, and an active liquor license. Also included is The Reparito House restaurant business, complete with established operating systems and day-to-day operational frameworks, along with owner support during onboarding and transition to ensure continuity of operations and a smooth handover to new ownership. The layout is well suited for continued restaurant use, café concept, or other food-service operations.
This opportunity allows buyers to own both the business and the building — reducing long-term overhead while maintaining full operational control — an increasingly rare combination in coastal Costa Rica.
In a market where established restaurants with real estate ownership, licensing, trained staff, strong branding, and documented profitability are difficult to find, Reparito House stands out as a high-performing, lifestyle-friendly investment just steps from Playa Penca in the heart of Potrero.
An ideal opportunity to own a proven, turnkey business in a thriving Guanacaste community.
