Soda Sabores

4.8(50 reviews)

About

Soda Sabores serves Costa Rica from Provincia de Alajuela, Carrillos Alto. Visitors have handed it a 4.8 out of 5 average across 50 reviews, a strong showing from a modest but consistent run of feedback.

Getting there from the main resorts and towns is manageable, since San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde are all linked by the country's road and bus network. Carrillos Alto sits in Alajuela province, inland from the Pacific coast, so arrivals from the capital or the beach towns can fold a stop here into a wider route.

Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast, and coffee has shaped the country's economy since the nineteenth century. That pairing of a working agricultural interior with a steady flow of travellers shapes what a stop in Alajuela province feels like.

Volcanic ranges run down the centre of the country between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws are common in Costa Rican forests and along the coasts, so a drive between towns often turns up wildlife. The 4.8 out of 5 average across 50 reviews suggests the stop is worth building into that drive.
