We went to this soda twice to eat dinner. The food is very nice and so is the lady who runs the place. It feels like genuine Costarican food and the lady prepares the food almost in front of you. The prices are reasonable. We...definitely recommend this place!More

We had a fantastic lunch here with our kids. Everything was fresh and homemade and delicious, including the hot sauce, which is serious stuff. Very friendly too!

We chose this place for the simple reason that it was close and "No. 1" on Tripadvisor. The hostess was very friendly and the food was tasty. But I would not go as far as to say it was "excellent". It was simple, ordinary food...at a very good price. I would go back.More

There is a reason Soda Jimenez is rated number 1. She is serving food with love and that extra that shows a true love of cooking and great food. She had two excellent specials the day we went - perfect tender chicken in sauce and...ridiculously great shredded beef. Get her specials of the day. Also got to try juices that most places don’t bother with. Pineapple rice milk like a fresh less sugary horchata - a regional specialty! Even her coffee was better. And not priced for tourists. Even a our picky teen who is suspicious of unfamiliar food ate every bite for the first time in a week. We are already planning our next meal there. Best overall Costa Rican food experience!More
