Soda Garabito
A self-service soda favoured by Jacó locals. Casados start at CRC 4,000, with big portions at good value, and it's open from breakfast until evening.
A long-standing soda in a lane on the east side of the main street, popular mainly with locals. It has nearly 2,000 reviews and a rating of 4.6. It works like a canteen: choose from the day's dishes at the counter, or order items cooked to order. The signature is the casado: beef strips, pork chop or chicken for CRC 4,000, and tilapia or shrimp for CRC 4,500. Other options include beef vegetable soup, pork ribs, rice and beans and fresh juice, with breakfast from CRC 2,500. The place is clean, and you should wash your hands outside before going in. Prices are clearly posted; a meal with a drink costs about USD 5–8. Cash only, and no reservations. It's located 400 meters east of the POPS ice cream shop.
