  2. Restaurante El Campesino

    You’ll find good ol’ country cooking at this wholesome family spot (no alcohol sold) across the highway from the Burger King. Dip into tasty chorreadas (savory fresh-corn pancakes), arroz con pollo (chicken and rice) and torta de queso (a pile of cubed beef or chicken doused in melted cheese and served with corn tortillas).

  4. El Rubio

    The clutter of pick-up trucks out front is a clue that you have stumbled onto this popular family eatery. It offers a wide selection of grilled fish and roasted meats. And there is a good selection of bocas (savory bar snacks), including our favorite: chifrijo, a pile of rice and pinto beans studded with fried pork and capped with fresh tomato salsa and corn chips. On the road east of Burger King, go 100m north, then 100m east on the dirt road.

  5. Deleites

    This attractive, well-stocked bakery sells cookies, cakes, bread and even cappuccino. You'll find it along the main north–south road in the center of town, 100m west of Hotel y Cabinas Wilson.
