Food Scene
Barrio Bistro
305 C. EspañaVery good small bistro in out of the way place.
The fun of this place is the setting... is so peaceful and serene. You get there by a 30-45 min hike or when you make reservations, you can reserve a ride on their ponga to and fro and it's free. A must see! You must go to the bathroom...you'll understand once you use it. Check out the huge dog that lives there and the private beach you can use and grab a ponga later. Can be an all day event. Or hike to Las Animas for a leisurely time of beach.
