A MEGA VIC’S PICK’S!!! This is LITERALLY my #1 FAV “Soda” (a "soda" in Costa Rica is a little cheapo restaurant)!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!! MEGA CHEAP & AWESOME!! FLAME GRILLED CASADAS (rice & beans or fresh mashed potatoes and veges) - GRILLED beef, chicken, ribs, pork, fish (& sometimes tongue) & LOTS of DELISH CHIMICHURI SAUCE (parsley, olive oil, lemon, a tiny bit of vinegar, salt and LOTS of garlic!!) WITH a REALLY tasty salad PLUS a natural fresh fruit drink.
PRICES: Depending on what you get they NOW have 2 sizes - one is a smaller version for 2,500-c & the other the regular size seen in the pictures for 3,500-c (some days I can make 2 meals out of it!!!).
MY fav is Costillas (ribs), mashed potatoes, veges with MUCHO MUCHO Chimichuri sauce on EVERYTHING and Cass drink!!!!
