Los Ranchitos
(Muelle, 3c E, ½c S; mains US$4-6)
One of the better-looking restaurants in town, with open
walls, thatched roofs and a pressed-dirt floor. The menu's your fairly standard range of
meat, chicken and seafood, with some good pizza and pasta options thrown in.

Pizzeria Buon Appetito
(Muelle, 100m E; mains US$6-12; )
Grab a table out front to watch the action on the main
drag at the island's best pizza-pie place. There's a wide menu featuring seafood dishes like
snapper in shellfish sauce or shrimp cocktails, but the standard assortment of pasta dishes.
Eggplant with pesto is a great veggie option.

Timbo al Tambo
(Muelle, 2½c E; 3pm-late Tue-Sat)
A cozy bar that's popular with locals and travelers alike
for a couple of drinks and some sports on the big screen. Judging by the school kids grind-
ing it out to reggaeton hits on the small dance floor, your chances of getting asked for ID
are slim.
