Milk Bar

Progreso


The 'cow in a rowboat' indicates you've arrived at this laid-back Texan-run spot. Despite the name, it doesn't specialize in milk-based drinks, but is definitely the place to go for hefty sandwiches, burgers and salads. It's a popular hangout for expats who enjoy the eclectic decor and large servings. It's also a great breakfast and brunch spot.

The coffee is OK, but those obsessive about their brew shouldn't get too excited.
