The Osa Peninsula Soda

Sodas are what Costa Ricans call their local Costa Rican restaurant and are normally small, ‘mom and pop’ open air restaurants. They serve only traditional Costa Rican food and it’s the best place to experience eating out like a local! Most of the Osa Sodas are name after the woman who run them. And this is often where you find the best casado.

The Casado

The casado is a Costa Rican meal using rice, black beans, plantains, salad, a tortilla, and an optional protein source such as chicken, beef, pork, fish and so on.

Read More about Casados

The term may have originated when restaurant customers asked to be treated as casados, since married men ate such meals at home. Restaurants on Osa Peninsula, as well as the sodas, all have something special when it comes to the casado. 

Bocas

Bocas or boquitas, are Costa Rican-style appetizers, usually consisting of a small snack item or portion of a dish typically served at a main meal.

Read More about Bocas

Bocas are a cultural item as much as a food item and an experience in and of themselves. The restaurants on tha Osa Peninsula often have a special boca depending on season.

Ceviche

Also know as  cebiche, seviche, or sebiche is a South American seafood dish that originated in Peru and has been adopted by Costa Rica.

Read More about Ceviche

Typically made from fresh raw fish cured in fresh citrus juices, most commonly lemon or lime, but historically made with the juice of bitter orange. Many of the restaurants on Osa Peninsula serve fresh ceviche as Puerto Jimenez lies on the Golfo Dulce with access to the Pacific Ocean and ‘ocean to plate’ seafood.

Plantains

Restaurants on Osa Peninsula serve local plantains as they are a stable food in the tropical regions of the world, ranking as the tenth most important staple food in the world.

Read More about Plantains

Mature, yellow plantains can be peeled like typical dessert bananas; the pulp is softer than in immature, green fruit and some of the starch has been converted to sugar. They can be eaten raw, but are not as flavourful as dessert bananas, so are usually cooked. When yellow plantains are fried, they tend to caramelize, turning a golden-brown color. They can also be boiled, baked, or grilled over charcoal, either peeled or unpeeled.

Gallo Pinto

Gallo Pinto has a literal meaning of “spotted rooster”, is the national dish of Costa Rica. It consists of rice and beans stir-fried together in a pan to create a speckled appearance.

Read More about Gallo Pinto

It is usually served for breakfast along with scrambled or fried eggs and sour cream or cheese.  Seasonings in the mixture of rice and red or black beans include cilantro, red pepper, onion, celery, and Salsa Lizano.
