Zarabanda Restaurante
Zarabanda Restaurante Review
Not far from the main square, this unpretentious family-run restaurant is one of the oldest (and most affordable) eateries on the island, and it's still considered one of the best places to try island-style food. There are quite a few tasty seafood dishes, including a huge mariscada for two that includes a fish fillet, a whole fish, a lobster, and octopus on a bed of shredded lettuce. The delicious seafood soup includes the freshest seasonal seafood and is an island classic. People come here for the food and not the ambience, so grab a seat at a plastic table, listen to the Mexican music, and take your pick from the extensive menu.
