Soda la Hormiga

During my stay in La Fortuna, I tried several local restaurants offering traditional Costa Rican food, known as sodas. This particular one was by far the best value for money. A full meal (casado) cost around 3,500 CRC, and the best part—no additional taxes! The food was delicious and authentic, definitely a great way to experience local flavors. The only downside is that they close fairly early in the afternoon, so make sure to go for lunch rather than dinner.

Loved this place for casados and typical Costa Rican food! We came twice for casados, highly recommend the pork chop Casado. Great service, ambiance and food.

Tasty tasty food! I came here for breakfast and lunch and it was delicious! Staff is friendly, place is clean. It does get busy but waiting time is not too crazy. They have parking towards the back. Highly recommended!

Excellent fresh local food and friendly service. Highly recommended ❤️

Place was busy during lunch but there were plenty of seats during breakfast. this place soon became our go-to breakfast place during our stay in La Fortuna. Their tamal tasted yummy !

Authentic, local Costa Rican cuisine. Sodas are the way to go down here. Definitely leave the resort and check it out. Very good food, great vibe.

I came here because it was highly recommend to me by 3 people. The staff recommended the rice with chicken and fries platanos as their favorite. So I got them, the sause was ok, the chicken was ok, rice was undercooked and got stuck in my teeth multiple times (tough and sticky, almost crunchy) I didn't finish eating the rice. View was nice from the patio. The fried platanos was the best part, though it's easy to make at home. Pineapple juice was good also Not too expensive. I hope other people have a better experience

Delicious healthy Local food, served by lovely and kind employees, with Very nice authentic atmosphere, thank you for having us! ❤️ casado was DELICIOUS
