1. Restaurant recommendations.

• The BBQ chicken lady (Asada Juanitas) who sets up her BBQ in the street at sunset. She is located on the cement road next to the central market, across the street from the Cerveseria (Brewery)
• G&G Gourmet (located one block north from the Remax office) Has been mentioned as the best restaurant in town.
• Pizza on the Beach. Located next to El Timon Restaurant but closed on Tuesdays
• Pelican Eyes Resort & Restaurant with their infinity edge pool and amazing views of SJDS. Great for sunsets and keeping kids busy.
