Outstanding little diner on the roadside in La Fortuna. We were able to grab a few beers from the shop a few feet away and had a very pleasant lunch. 100% recommend.Even has a good view of the volcano.

My second time at soda la Palma and as always, a wonderful meal and a million dollar view of Arenal! Typical breakfast that won't disappoint you. A MUST is their natural Cas fruit drint - the best!

Our breakfast stop on our way to Arenal National Park. Delicious food and perfect service at a fair price. AND… a gorgeous garden to enjoy after your meal with a visit to the sweet cow. Enjoy the view of the volcano while you eat. What a great place!

Good, homemade taste food. Affordable prices. Our meals were simple but delicious. Chifrijol with Carambola juice and Casado with meat and Cas juice. Good service. Beautiful garden on the back. Good parking in front. Other shops in the side.

Really good fresh empanadas (chicken, beef and pork). Reasonable prices and a very nice view of the volcano. They also have a garden in the back which attracts birds and lots of plant species.

It's a really nice local spot with a great variety of food, and the prices are very reasonable. We visited after touring the Arenal Volcano National Park. We tried the tostones de patacones and the casaditos con pollo guizado (chicken with rice). The portions were generous and satisfying.

Soda La Palma was great! We stopped here for lunch after hiking Arenal Volcano. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered Toston de Patacon (loaded fried plantains) and Quesadilla de Camarones (shrimp quesadillas); both were soooo good and savory! We ordered the Toston de Patacon with grilled chicken. They have a cute little garden that you can explore and meet their mascota. I would definitely eat here again and would recommend to others.
