About
Soda Maricela is a seafood soda where the standout is the seafood soup — several guests call it very good, with generous whole-fish plates too. Reviews are genuinely mixed on consistency and on billing: a service charge and prices aren't always stated up front, so it's worth confirming the total before you order. Come for the soup, and go in clear-eyed.

We were in a hurry looks like chose wrong place. This Soda adds price on top after you eat saying tax etc though they dont mention upfront. Even that is not an issue in the Shrimp special we ordered which was highly priced but we counted only 7 small shrimps. Seafood soup was very good that won't add star as the other item pulled overall rating down. Not at all recommended. Just to make sure I'm writing the correct place review adding a snapshot of the bill too. Not at all recommended.
we wanted Olle de carne from the restaurant next store, and they were out. The waiter flagged down and recommended their fried fish and seafood soup. The Fried fish was not completely cooked. The center was still raw. It was so so place. I would definitely recommend the restaurants next to it. We went to this area for food 2 days in a row and locals seem to avoid this place. They do charge 10% service charge.
Pricier than other and they add 10% tips. The waitress is friendly but the owner is very NOT. Nice seafood soup with rice 5000crc, whole fish 9000crc, good portion and taste but could be better.
