10/10 absolutely loved our experience at Soda Mina! Such a truly hidden gem; the atmosphere, food, and staff were all premium at a price that makes you wanna eat here every meal. Don Alvaro is a sweetheart of a man, and the remaining staff were singing and laughing the whole night which made for some wholesome entertainment. Couldn’t recommend any other place more :)))

We took a taxi specifically to this restaurant because it has very good prices and big portions. The food is amazing and the staff are very kind and pleasant.

The staff were kind and accommodating with our kids, which we appreciated. But that’s where the positives end. The prices were EXTREMELY high for a local soda, especially compared to others we’ve enjoyed across Costa Rica... The food took about 40 minutes to arrive, even though we were the only family there, and when it did, it was overly salty and just not good. Definitely not worth the wait or the price. Would not recommend.

Great value and the service was excellent! Awesome owners and I loved having a home cooked meal after a long travel day, thank you.

Best soda I tried in Fortuna! So fun that you can draw a picture to hang on the wall while you eat too :) great food, service, price, and atmosphere

This is a shady restaurant. The owner slammed the money on the counter and walked away unhappily after I discovered he overcharged me. We waited nearly an hour for one of the dishes to be served. Oh, and they charge a 10% service fee even though there’s no service at all, and no one speaks English. By far the worst experience I’ve had in Costa Rica!

I was recommended here by a local, I was a little worried when I was the only person in the restaurant (at lunch time). Ordered the chicken fajitas and it was so good! Juicy chicken and veggies - very home cooked (a bit oily).
