Soda La Fuente — Restaurant in Bagaces

Authentic Costa Rican Flavors at Soda La Fuente – A Must-Visit!

Soda La Fuente is a true hidden gem in Costa Rica! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

The food was absolutely delicious—authentic, homemade Costa Rican cuisine at its finest. Every dish was bursting with fresh flavors, and you could tell it was made with love. We especially enjoyed the casado, which was perfectly seasoned and came with generous portions. The gallo pinto was another highlight—simple yet incredibly flavorful, just the way it should be!

What truly sets Soda La Fuente apart is the genuine service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to share recommendations or a warm smile. It felt like dining with family, and that personal touch made our experience even more special.

I think we ate at a Soda everyday we were in Costa Rica... and this one was my favorite. I got the Casado with grilled chicken, rice and salad (it's the typical Costa Rican lunch). Their chicken was so good and so moist -- it had onions with it which I hadn't seen anywhere else. It was off the beaten path so there were no other tourists there, just locals. Highly recommend. I actually made my husband go back there a second time. It's a great stop if you're on your way from Liberia...
