Good typical soda, great value
Reviewed By Easylivingtravel
Good ole down home Caribbean cooking located on the main street in Puerto Viejo. You may walk right on by because you will think it is an old house but is Soda Isma, a privately owned house restaurant that offer service like visiting a friend or family. Mama will go into the kitchen and whip up a nice plate of food usually chicken or fish that comes with beans and rice with a salad. Pretty simple and you don't pay a high tourist price. The environment is Caribbean however, I do believe that is time for the house to take on renovations. I really loved the home-cooking and price more than anything else. I would recommend this to the traveler eating on a tight budget because I found it to be the most inexpensive place in Puerto Viejo. Happy Travels!!!!
9. Arepas y Empanadas Colombianas
Rustic traditional Space, facing the sea, 4 tables and two bars, offering delicious arepas and Colombian empanadas, in a cozy atmosphere.
Reviewed By Stewart F
We ate here in August of 2016 and again on August 4, 2017 during this vacation. The arepas and empanadas are outstanding and very authentic. It has an excellent flavor and is very filling. The portions are extremely generous and can be shared amongst family and friends if you order a few different items. The price is very affordable. The view of the beach is not only perfect but shaded by the tall trees. It allows for a cool and relaxing breeze to help you unwind and relax while you're eating. The coffee is very delicious and potent. It is definitely a great place for the entire family.

Hubby and I enjoyed dinner, and a take-out lunch, at Banana Azul in July when we rented a house nearby on Playa Negra Beach (reviewed separately) and it was recommended by the owners. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, great food, friendly service, free wifi, and reasonable prices. It also had a (free) locked and fenced parking area. We had sandwiches for lunch and for dinner, I had lasagna and hubby had mahi mahi. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed our meals. We also enjoyed the soup and salad buffet at dinner. The total bill for dinner was about $50 and they accepted credit cards. The gardens are lovely and we returned during the day to walk through and enjoy the grounds more fully in the daylight. We enjoyed the koi pond that stretches the length of the dining area with its many fish and turtles. The garden had beautiful paths, plants, and trees. The beach area also looked beautiful, although we didnât relax there. We recommend dining at Banana Azul and will return when we visit Puerto Viejo in the future!*Thank you for reading my review!

Traditional lay back restaurant in the city center of Puerto Viejo. The place offers mostly traditional dishes and very good drinks.The place is mostly visited by locals living in Costa Rica.The dishes size are quite impressive. For example, I've order pollo en salsa caribbean. I had mostly half of the chicken.I would recommend the place to a group of friends travelling.

Our lunch was excellent here at Soda Shekina! We ate the Chicken with Caribbean Sauce (about $7) and had the pineapple juice and watermelon juice. I loved the chicken and the Pineapple juice was unforgettable. Our friend gave us a taste of her dish, shrimp with coconut sauce (about $9). It was Amazing! I can't wait to return. Restaurant was located on the same block as grocery store and tattoo parlor.Soda means local restaurant so price was great for fabulous food! I recommend you have colones when going to Soda but lucky for us, Soda Shekina, accepted dollars.

Had a small dinner yesterday , waiter was polite and understanding. Had to return back the Mohito, because of misunderstanding, and the Mohito was replaced, No question asked.Ordered their special Budha Tikos, and vegetarian homous dish. Nice food.At the end they gave us free pinnacolada, on the house.Nice live music, while eating. Wish there was a nice table to sit.
