We enjoyed sitting outside and having lunch at this cute little soda. It is located on the main street in Coco, almost to the beach.We both ordered casado con pescado, fresh fruit shakes (try the mora con leche), & bottles of water. It was inexpensive - definitely under $10 each - and the food was fresh and delicious. One recommendation,... More

This was one of the best meals we had on our trip throughout CR. The food was authentic, delicious, and inexpensive. Our meals came served with a beet/potato/egg salad, a garden salad, plantains, chicken, and of course rice and beans. The servings were big. Great place for an authentic Tico meal.

This is a nice and tasty Costa Rican restaurant, with the local dishes nicely prepared. Prices are OK for the location. You can get a "Casado" (which is the most common type of lunch for local people) for $6, which is a good deal compared with the prices in some other locations. The food feels fresh, and the drinks are... More

Although we love our food next door at Soda Teresita, we really like our food and drinks here at Soda Jardin Tropical, too! The blended drinks are so good! I love my kiwi, watermelon, pineapple ice drinks and my friend love her milk drinks. The food is really yummy too. Very reasonable prices and right on the main strip and... More

This has been my favorite soda (family owned restaurant that serves typical Costa Rican food) since I moved to Playa del Coco five and a half years ago. I prefer this soda over other local eats because they are fast, fresh, consistent, very friendly family owned business, and less expensive. In the mornings the typical Costa Rican breakfast is Gallo... More

This is the second time we have eaten at Jardin Tropical "Typical Food" restaurant in Playas del Coco. It is tucked down a side street right across from the beach and you can dine inside or outside. The first time there we had beef and chicken casados. They were very flavourful and large portion sizes -- plenty of rice and... More

We've been back to this restaurant a few times. The food has been consistently good, and the service very friendly. It has been spotlessly clean the times we have been - you seem to see the staff of this restaurant cleaning more often than any other restaurant. It is a little soda on a dusty village street in Costa Rica,... More
