La Langosta is a small but extremely popular restaurant right on the beach, situated close to the left end before you reach the rocks and thick foliage that close off the shore. If you want to be guaranteed a spot it’s best to go around noon because the place gets packed every day from about 1 to 4 pm. The food is good and fresh, but the menu is limited, and options tend to run out as the day goes on. Lunch plates, which include your main plus rice and patacones, are a standard $5 each – expensive for Mompiche. La Langosta is known for its langostinos, but you may have trouble finding them in stock if you don´t get there early enough.
