Ways to save
For lunch don't order a la carte. Look/ask for "almuerzos".
Almuerzos cost between $ 2 - 4 and offer often the same menu as the ones a la carte. Almuerzos consist of a soup, a main menu, a juice and often an entree and a small desert. Look for a place where there are many people eating.
