Your best option for an authentic Costa Rican eating experience would be to eat at one of the many Sodas that line the streets in Jaco. Gallo pinto, rice with shrimp, casados…you really can’t go wrong at a Soda, and they are straightforward to find and very affordable. If you are looking for a sweet treat to cool off with, there are a few ice cream and gelato places in Jaco, or there are many small convenience stores where you can buy yummy single-serve cold treats such as Trits ice cream cups and much more.
