This straightforward orange snack shack near the 4WD truck stop is run by one of Polonio's few year-round resident families. It's a welcoming, affordable spot for everything from homemade buñuelos de algas (seaweed fritters) to rabas (fried squid), to chivitos (steak sandwiches piled high with toppings).
