Restaurante Riquísimo — Restaurant in Cahuita

BEST Carribbean Soda restaurant in Puerto Viejo. If you're looking for a delicious and wallet-friendly spot - this is the place!

I've tried 3 dishes the various times I've been there:

Casado - Chuleta ahumada en salsa caribena Casado - Pollo en salsa caribena Casado - Filet de pescado a la plancha

There it is - in the order of my favorites. The chuleta ahumada is a little bit spicy but definitely edible (for those who can't eat spicy - me!). It was absolutely delicious, the chuleta was soft, sweet and spicy with the carribbean coconut flavor and of course the rice is cooked with coconut milk. Definitely my hands-down favorite here at Soda riquisimo.

My second favorite has to be the pollo en salsa caribena. Every time I come here, I can't decide which one i want - chuleta or pollo. It is a tough decision! The pollo en salsa caribena is sweet coconuty flavored. Both are just absolutely delicious and leaves you super full for the rest of the day. If you ask me where to go - I would definitely say Soda Riquisimo if you're in Puerto Viejo area - otherwise go to their sister restaurant Sol el Caribe just down the road in Cocles. You can't go wrong with either of these two places :)

Lastly, I have to mention that the pescado was ok - nothing to really write home about. Just your regular casado con pescado but it's not horrible and it's not epic . I just really wanted...

I was so consumed by my hunger I forgot to take a photo if my food (which I always try to do). We both got the dinner dish where you choose your meat and sides. I got the breaded chicken with plantains and salad, my girlfriend got the same but with rice and beans and salad. They were decently-sized portions and it all tasted very good.

I think I got about 5 plantain pieces, which is a lot and I couldn't have eaten them without hot sauce. Salad was tasty. The breaded chicken was extremely delicious but... I'm a big fried chicken fan so I'm definitely biased. I'd eat here again but we're only in Puerto Viejo for 3 nights so I'll probably end up trying somewhere else.

Update... after careful consideration, we went back here. Just as tasty. When you're ready to pay you just go up to...

We have had breakfast here quite a few times the cost and portion sizes were pretty decent. My son had eggs with Caribbean sauce huevos rancheros he wasn’t a fan especially of the cheese it was nasty 🤮 I agree but the fried bake was my fave. The bacon is not bacon like we are accustomed to so beware. And whatever the sauce is doesn’t need all the stuff they put in it especially cucumbers so strange. We love the hiel here however but the price tag doesn’t align with the amount you get imo. Should be less money or more drink...
