We went to the Cafe Costa Rica on a Friday night, and based on reviews here, expected a long wait. We were seated immediately. This place is tiny. I think it has a total of 8 tables at best. You can't expect to just walk in, but we were lucky. The service was attentive without being pushy. I ordered the ceviche appetizer, which was absolutely amazing. I could have used a few more crackers or some bread for it, but otherwise, this was my favorite dish. The empanadas were also good. For our dinners, I had a dish with pork, which was served on a large platter with a salad, rice and beans and preceded by a lovely little soup. Everything was quite tasty and flavorful. The only negatives about the Cafe are that it is small, and that the prices are fairly high for Madison. We had two drinks, 2 appetizers and two entrees for a total of about $60. For those on a budget, you might want to skip drinks and appetizers. However, we had a good time there, and even enjoyed talking to the table "next to" us. Even though some might have not liked the close proximity, it gives the restaurant a "family" feel, that isn't found at many places in Madison. I will definitely be visiting the Cafe Costa Rica again.
