Soda La Negra Paso Canoas

3.9(199 reviews)

About

On Costa Rica, Soda La Negra Paso Canoas occupies Provincia de Puntarenas, Paso Canoas, a settlement in the country's south.

The name is known in the area for home-style Costa Rican cooking, the kind of food a soda serves to travellers passing through the border zone. First-time visitors should expect a plain, busy setting with local dishes rather than a tourist menu, and Spanish is the language used to order. An average of 3.9 out of 5 from 199 reviews reflects a steady flow of customers over the years. Paso Canoas lies far south of San José and the main resort towns, so Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all require a long bus or car journey from here.

San José is the hub for onward travel, and buses from the capital fan out to both coasts.

A casado, the set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, is the standard midday plate and the obvious order at a soda. Costa Rican Spanish leans on vos and the phrase pura vida in everyday speech.
