About
Known for their "cheeseburgers in paradise," this friendly, Colombian-owned roadside restaurant serves sandwiches and fresh seafood, and is open principally for breakfast and lunch. Jumbo shrimp, sea bass, and a mixed seafood platter (octopus and clams) can be prepared with lemon and basil, creole-style, or battered and fried. There is also fried chicken as well as snack platters with empanadas and fried patacones. Wash it all down with a fresh natural juice or a pipa, which is a hacked-open coconut with a straw.
