There are plenty of bakeries around the main square from which you can get yourself a snack and then people-watch resting on one of the benches in the plaza. The town center is full of your typical Guatemalan comedor, so as you wander around you will find quite a few, all more or less the same. La Casona, a new restaurant in town, is worth a try (8a Calle and 4a Avenida, Cell: 502-4015-3360). For a really authentic Nebaj culinary experience guests staying at the Hotel Santa Maria are invited to eat in the family dining room where the mother of the house rustles up boxboles, pepián and traditional sauces from age-old family recipes.
