As in other tourist towns in Costa Rica, head to the sodas frequented by locals for the cheapest meals -
Soda El Costo de Oro
, next to the Banco Popular, is the cheapest place in town, with fish
casados
for only US$2 and a busy lunchtime crowd of both locals and tourists. As a rule,
fish
is predictably good - order grilled
pargo
or
dorado
and you can't go far wrong.
CafAŠ Milagro
, on the sea wall has a real espresso machine and cakes - try the vanilla nut chill or iced raspberry mocha. The moderately priced
Restaurante Dos Locos
, just southwest of the mercado, is popular with travellers, with a cosmopolitan range of dishes - including large healthy sandwiches and Mexican cuisine - served up in a nice dining area open to the street.
D'Angolo
, across from
Dos Locos
, is a small Italian deli with a couple of tables and the place to come if you crave fettucini with real gorgonzola cheese (US$6) or if you're self-catering.
Isabel
, on the main street, has friendly, fast service and a menu of American and continental breakfasts, salads, pasta and rice dishes. Other useful information
