Soda Tita Rosa — Restaurant in La Fortuna

We ate at Soda Tita Rosa 3 times in 3 days during our visit to La Fortuna because it was that good! The women who run this little place were all so welcoming and friendly and, like other reviewers have said, will make you the perfect item off-menu if you ask (a cheese & bean empanada for my wife when she asked for vegetarian recommendations). We also had the chicharrones and batidos (smoothies), everything was made fresh to order on the spot and delicious, at a great price! The atmosphere was also perfect, with a clean & modern style but still having plenty roadside charm — we saw lots of locals stop by — and an amazing full view of Volcán Arenal to boot. ¡Gracias a todas en...

We are visiting from Roatan, and found the perfect Soda! Rosa and her daughters make the most delicious food. We ate here every day we were in town. Each dish was fantastic.

They also have a little heladeria attached to it (we may have dabbled in a banana split for good measure after dinner). Go here and you will not be disappointed!
