Soda La Amistad

We had to wait for a table, but it was absolutely worth it. The place was full and other people were waiting as well, which was already a good sign. The food was absolutely delicious, portions were large, and prices were very good. A great local experience. We also tried guanábana here for the first time, and it instantly became a favorite. Without a doubt, this place deserves five stars. Highly recommended.

This place is colourful, aesthetically pleasing, and clean. We ordered the pork casado and garlic shrimp with rice. The pork casado was satisfying and saucy but the garlic shrimp was a bit too salty for my liking. We also had horchata drinks, which were very tasty (just the right level of sweetness)!

Fantastic dishes. I really enjoyed the Casado carne y salsa. The Bistec and onions was very good too. The French fries were yummy. Cozy family style restaurant. The table hot sauce is very hot. The pinnacle peppermint Hugo was very good.

Fantastic food. Not many vegan choices here other than the casada and luckily the patacones, which were on the specials, but the food was super tasty and the price was very reasonable. Great food and great service. Came here 2 days in a row! 100% recommend.

After a tumultuous drive from La fortuna to monteverde we were so glad to come upon this soda nearby to where we were staying. Glad they were open late. Service was very kind. The natural jugo was amazing. I could drink an entire jug of that! Bae and I had a wonderful meal together after what seemed to be a crazy day prior. So glad we came here. Stray dog pictured :)

This was 100000% the best Costa Rican food I’ve had since being here. I’ve visited Costa Rica twice now and this place exceeds them all!! I love trying new eats when I travel but I may have to sneak this one in a second time. 1000/10

It's just off the main road around the corner from all the tourist spots with flashy signs ahs fancy menus. Take the extra couple minutes and go here instead, the atmosphere is very laid back, the service is warm and friendly, and the food is delicious! This is the best horchata I've had. We had 2 casados, a steak and fish. Fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, a nice sized portion. The fried plantain was so good. Everything we ate was top notch delicious.

It was wonderful. The Creamy tomato soup was everyone’s favorite. my daughter loved her chicken quesadilla - said it was the best she’s ever had. My son loved the ham and cheese sandwich. We also had chicken and rice and the chiffrijo. All were good. I don’t think you can go wrong.
