Soda is the name given to small restaurants in Costa Rica that receive tax support from the state and do not have an alcohol 🍻 license.
This allows prices 💰 to be kept at a low level. You can find sodas everywhere in Costa Rica, just not in purely tourist towns. They are mainly visited by the local population, but also by tourists.
A soda usually serves typical Costa Rican dishes such as Gallo Pinto. There is an obligation to serve certain main dishes (Casados), most often these are dishes of rice and beans (Arroz con frijoles) with fried beef, chicken or fish and with fried plantains and salad. Sometimes the food in sodas is also offered as a buffet.
