About
A family-run soda-and-pizzería on a quiet residential street in Uvita, turning out food travelers call the best of their trip — one names its casado the best in eight days in Costa Rica. Empanadas, arroz con pollo, and gallo pinto are all made fresh to order, so expect a wait from a small kitchen. Generous portions, honest prices, and warm hosts; best to walk, as parking is tight.

✨ Unforgettable food, vibes, and heart in Uvita ✨ What a magical place! Just steps from the beach in Uvita, this spot is pure Pura Vida perfection. The food is on another level — professional chef Hayden Diamond creates dishes that are bold, soulful, and absolutely unforgettable. Every bite felt made with love, intention, and serious talent. We celebrated a birthday, and wow… the owner went above and beyond, organizing an amazing surprise cake and the warmest, most heartfelt birthday greetings. It felt personal, joyful, and full of good energy — like family, not just service. The owner is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuine, and the service is fast and attentive, even with that relaxed Pura Vida flow. Prices are very reasonable for the quality — honestly, the value is unbeatable. This place has it all: delicious food, beautiful vibes, kind people, and a soulful atmosphere you won’t forget. If you’re in Uvita, this is an absolute must. 🌺 Highly, highly recommend — we’ll be back for sure! 🌺
We had dinner here after a thorough search for some typical Soda food in Uvita. We ordered a vegetarian casado, a chicken empanada, and a bean empanada and they were all fresh, flavorful and excellent. In fact it was the best casado I've had in my 8 days in Costa Rica by far! Every element was flavorful, the food was fresh, and the service was great at this local family-run Soda. We loved it so much we came back the next night for dinner and got the arroz con pollo, which was great as well. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous but not too big. Best to walk here, not easy to park on this mostly residential street.
The food is spectacular and you can taste the authentic, homemade flavors of Costa Rica. Without a doubt, the best discovery in Uvita. I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there every day of my stay. I tried everything: gallo pinto (a must), casados, meat, fish, and empanadas that are on another level. Unbeatable value for money in the area. If you're looking for real food, made with love and at a good price, this is the place. Saludos Marta
