Soda El Gustico
About
Among Costa Rica's local businesses, Soda El Gustico serves casado, a set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish. Its address at 3R8W+RJJ, Heredia, Santa Bárbara, San Bosco, Costa Rica puts it in the San Bosco area of Santa Bárbara, within Heredia province.
Soda El Gustico is known for that traditional plate rather than a wide menu. First-time visitors can expect a modest, no-frills setting where the cooking follows the casado format. A 4 out of 5 average from 10 reviews reflects a small but positive set of responses.
Getting there from San José or the other main towns on the tourist circuit, including Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde, usually means intercity bus or hire car, since Costa Rica drives on the right and buses form the backbone of public transport.
Costa Rica's Pacific coast has a marked dry season while the Caribbean side stays wet for much of the year, so the timing of a visit shapes the weather considerably. The country abolished its army in 1948 and has had no standing military since.
