The Costa Rican Soda

Welcome to the colorful and (very) flavorful world of Costa Rican sodas! Now, you might be wondering, “What in the world is a soda?” No, we're not talking about your typical carbonated drinks. In Costa Rica, "sodas" are small, family-owned places where you get the real taste of the country's food. They're the best places to discover Costa Rica's food culture and learn how locals really eat.

Every soda has its own personality, but they all give you that "insider" feeling you won't get at fancy restaurants. If you want to truly experience Costa Rica, you gotta eat at a soda! These are the spots where you'll discover amazing flavors and the warm, friendly spirit of the country, in a simple (and affordable) setting.
