There are a myriad of bars and restaurants to try, most of which line the main road on the southern and western sides of the island.
However, most locals skip the restaurants and choose to eat at what is known as “Las Mesitas”, a row of food tents set up nightly next to the lake on the west side.
The tables sell Guatemalan burritos, enchiladas, tamales, tostadas, salads, juices, and desserts. You can get a full meal for less than $2.50 USD. They’re always crowded with locals, which pretty much guarantees that the food is tasty and safe.
