Soda el Coco

Reviewed By Mogeltoft

A soda is a cheapish Costarican type of restaurant. A good choice for locals and budget travellers. We always eat our breakfast at sodas instead of in the hotel - because the atmosphere is more local, and because it’s much cheaper.The soda next to Brasilito Hotel is Soda el Coco. Seemingly a nice place... But don’t go there - the food is not very good, and it’s totally overpriced.We had a modest breakfast (worst pinto for 2 weeks in Costa Rica) and payed 8000 colones - compared to the 6000 colones, we’re used to.To check if we were unfair we returned a little later and ordered two (lousy!) chicken sandwiches to go. Price: 5000 colones.For comparison: Soda Brasilito next to Soda el Coco charges 2400 colones for two much-much better chicken sandwiches. Less than half the price for a better product. Need I say more?

Soda Marcell

Casual, friendly and authentic restaurant serving classic Costa Rican food.

Reviewed By SDRyan

This place has excellent local cuisine and a selection of local fruit drinks. The price is reasonable and the quality of the food was good. You will feel like you are parking in someone's front yard but don't be afraid to stop in and give it a try.

Father Rooster Beachfront Bar & Grill

Father Rooster is the premier beachfront bar & restaurant on the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The location and scenery combined with top quality (yet very simple) food and our famous frozen drinks makes Father Rooster a must see on your next visi

Reviewed By Birdguy

Our family of six had a fun time finding this place, and were glad we did. It's a great place to relax by the beach, have some tropical drinks and good food. We stayed around to watch the sun set on a huge rock between two islands off shore. The team of servers was very attentive. Our only complaint would be the constant battle to keep pesky flies off of our drinks and food.Hello Birdguy: Thank you for your review and for your business! I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. I have watched many sunsets between the mountain and island in front of Father Rooster. It is quite a display. Glad you enjoyed the food and drinks. I wish that we had a better solution for the flies. They come on occasion and cover the entire region--generally when the winds are pushing out from the farmland over the ocean. It is pretty tough to keep them at bay. In any case, thanks again for your business and please come back again soon!

Perhaps the friendliest service we have had in CR...which is saying a lot since most locals are the NICEST people! You eat with the waves crashing and the boats bobbing in the bay and the food is excellent! Don't miss this one

Soda Brasilito

Reviewed By 45toddd

Several locals recommended this place. We ordered the beef and the fish however we received pork instead of fish....and yes I speak Spanish so it wasn’t a language issue. Regardless the food was tasty. Pork was over cooked but still tasted good. Steak was great. Will eat here again next time we are in town.

We walked up and had their "all day happy hour" (2 for 1 drinks) and dinner while watching the sunset on the beach. The staff was wonderful and food and drinks, delicious. They had live music as well. Highly recommend.

Soda Y Restaurante El Estero Azul

Restaurant Estero Azul is located near Flamingo on your way to Potrero. Before you turn right at the beach at Restaurant Plemar keep on going straight all way to the back of the road (about 100m). You'll find a fisherman's house with a small eating place

Reviewed By Greentrotter

Ate here twice with family. Food is very good and exceptionally well priced. Service is at a good pace and allows to watch the world go by via the beach or sun go down over a few drinks etc. The patacones and the cassada with fish are exceptionally good.

Ander's Restaurant

Reviewed By JohnD-eng-esp

During a visit to Playa Conchal, arose the desire to feel connected to the surrounding neighborhood, so why experience the area through one of its restaurants?After deciding to arrive at Ander's Restaurant, it was immediately clear that excellent service would definitely be the standard for the rest of the night. Javier, our very attentive host, provided a warm and sincere welcome, and proceeded to inquire about any food restrictions and preferences, as well as consulted with Chef Ander regarding some options (not on the menu) to cater to a vegetarian's regimen. By surprise, both were happy to offer a few different plates that delivered on every detail.In relatively short order, arrived the most delicious, well prepared and nicely presented meals one could find in Brasilito. Nice texture, fresh ingredients, savory taste - perfect way to end the day.Add to that the authentic beach vibe, clean and orderly tables (glasses, tableware and tablecloths) and more than accesible price - for me that's an EASY five out of five "Excellent rating"!
