Not to be missed. Cash only, no reservations, plenty of bars nearby to get a drink while you wait for a table. Try the queso, the chicken tortilla soup and the los primos. Everything is good! Lively and always busy. 🍸

We love the tacos here, Cara gets rice, beans and cheese on corn and I get bacon, egg, beans and cheese on flour. We ALWAYS ask for the home made green avocado salsa, it’s the best!!!! They give you the normal salsa verde but you have to specifically ask for the avocado salsa. CALL AHEAD for pick up.l on weekends to avoid the wait. Great stop for breakfast, eat in or drive through. If there is a long line for the drive through and you already called in your order just go inside and ask at the cashiers desk for your pick up, you can pay inside and avoid the line of trucks.

Overpriced, greasy and touristy, BUT right on the water at the marina. You go for the view and the drinks, tuna dip is nice :)

Ask for your food to be made by Dave the sushi chef if he is still there. Nice modernized bar and restaurant, pretty views from the three levels of decks. Good for a drink before eating at la playa. The store next door has cute clothes and always has a sale rack.

Brown’s does everything, ice cream, golf cart rentals, and sometimes live music with fire dancers etc. Bron’s also rents beach set ups with chairs etc. Kind of touristy but hey it’s a tourist town 🤷🏼
