About
Soda Mima is a family-run spot where Don Alvaro works the floor with real energy while his wife turns out homemade Costa Rican cooking in back. Regulars come back for the tender steak and carne con salsa, and the walls are covered with drawings left by customers from around the world — draw your own. Homey, friendly, and priced so you'd happily eat here every meal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Soda Mima is an absolute gem in La Fortuna. We’ve eaten here multiple times now, and every single visit has been outstanding. The food is consistently delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of place you come back to because you crave it. What truly sets Soda Mima apart, though, is the service. The gentleman who runs the floor works incredibly hard, attending to everyone with warmth, energy, and genuine attentiveness. His wife is in the kitchen putting together absolutely incredible homemade Costa Rican cuisine. You can feel the pride and dedication behind this family-run operation, and it shows in every detail. This is exactly what you hope to find in a local soda: amazing food, phenomenal service, and people who clearly put their heart into what they do. We sincerely hope the team is proud of this place — it’s something special. Highly, highly recommended.
This resto seemed very local. We were hungry and needed a quick bite, everything was made fresh and the service was good. The food was meh I kept adding salt and hot sauce for flavour.
Ordered the carne con salsa meal. Meat, rice, and beans were great. Didn't like the potatoes too much. Salad was 3/5. Piña bebida was fantastic, as was the plantain which like a dessert. $13US (6,500 Colones). I left satisfied 😊
