If you've got a big appetite and a small wallet, go to Soda Taitos. It seats about a dozen people, which is the same number of Taito's family members you'll see chatting next door. This basic little café has charm and tasty, satisfying meals. Typical breakfast (rice and beans, two fried eggs and half a tomato), a portion of fried patacones and fresh fruit juice costs about $4. Open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and breakfast is served until 11 a.m.
