"Generally speaking a good restaurant to have lunch if you are visiting this part of the beach in Palomino. Nothing particularly amazing, but it was all good and the prices are reasonable. The most recommended thing would be the lemonada de coco, and the fish cooked in coconut sauce. Prices around 10-15$ per person for a full meal."
