About

Soda La Perla is the authentic local soda travelers keep ranking best in Sámara: generous casado con pollo for around 3,000 colones, homemade and fairly priced, with the grandmas in the kitchen as proof. You can reach it by walking the beach and turning up the road. One diner found a meal dry and salty, but most leave full and happy.

Best authentic local soda you can find in the area. Honestly the best one we had during our recent trip to Sámara. You know it’s good when all the grandmas are working in the kitchen. Fair prices for amazing homemade food. Loved it. Follow @cherie.travel for more travel adventures

The BEST local food in Sámara. Generous portions - delicious Casado con pollo for about 3000 colones. Can get to it by walking along the beach and then turning up the road.

Wow, best price for Casado and a very large portion. Best I’ve had so far in Costa Rica. Get your butt over here and tip them double!
