Dining Out
Diverse, fresh, organic, global & local…Santa Teresa hosts an impressive array of dining options to get excited about. Locals have relocated here from around the world, opening restaurants that present all variety of international cuisine. Traditional Costa Rican food can be found at small cafes called “sodas” to offer a more casual and inexpensive alternative.
