Soda Pura Vida
About
On Costa Rica, Soda Pura Vida sits in Santa Fe within the Provincia de Puntarenas, a spot whose reputation rests on a 4.5 out of 5 average from 527 reviews. A casado, the set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, is the kind of plate that defines eating in this part of the country. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward local meal rather than a polished tourist dining room, so arriving with an appetite and a little patience pays off. The volume of reviews suggests steady word of mouth among people who have eaten there. San José is among the nearby places that put the Santa Fe area within reach of travellers moving through the country. Spanish is the official language and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida, so a few words of it go a long way at the table. Whether the journey from the main towns feels easy depends largely on how visitors are travelling around Costa Rica.
