$ Atenas Café

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

A good place to get a bite and check your email (via a high-speed connection), this corner café in a papaya-colored 1900s house stands across from the town's palm-shaded central park. The Spanish owners serve a good selection of breakfast items, coffee drinks, pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, and salads, as well as meals such as sautéed shrimp and salmon in a wine sauce. Spanish culture influences menu items such as sangria and the tortilla española (Spanish omelet, with potatoes and onions). This is the only place we found in town with tourist information.
