We ate breakfast here right before leaving the city. They offered a buffet style with many options. There was a lady who made you quesadillas fresh and your choice of filling.

Tasty meals, nice portions, accesible prices, friendly staff and overall nice stay and location. I recommend sitting inside to reduce exposure to street sellers.
