• as cheap as it gets
For about 20 Pesos you can actually have a decent meal of roasted chicken (¼), rice, salad, tortillas & salsa in several main street BBQ places selling nothing but pollos asados al carbon.
In the evening, if you're not really hungry and just looking for a snack, you can get some tacos (7P/piece) or tamales (10P/pc) from street side vendors.
• for the budget minded traveler
On the south end of the main street, both Tacoqueto & Doña Tina cater to locals with a choice of home made dishes, of which you'll get a plateful for 30-40 Pesos. Add to that 10 Pesos for an agua de fruta or soft drink, or 15 Pesos for a cold beer.
Making your own cheese-tomato-cucumber-avocado sandwich with some halfway decent bread will cost you at least as much.
• tourist class
El Mariachi, Don Cafeto, Charlies, La Nave and various others offer Mexican & International cuisine for the more affluent, with dishes from 50 to 150 Pesos & more, drinks from 20 Pesos & upwards.
While not quite as overpriced as the beach side establishments, you still pay a premium for setting, arguably -if you know what to order where- slightly tastier food and often extremely slow service.
