My shuttle dropped me off near this intersection, and the restaurant was easy to find: a large sign that said Los Confrades hung over the street. I climbed up to the upstairs portion of the restaurant.

I ordered the Desayuno Nacional, which consisted of two fried eggs over warm corn tortillas, all covered in a simple salsa of diced fresh tomato and onion. This was accompanied by sausage, black beans, and slices of fried banana. It was delicious comfort food in a nice upper-scale atmosphere. I couldn't eat all that was on my plate, but I greedily gulped my mug of black-as-night, REAL coffee (included). The price for the meal was only Q27, or less than $3.50, and it geared me up for a full day of shopping! I didn't even have to, or want to, stop for lunch.

Eating upstairs was nice because a tiny deck goes around the restaurant from which you can watch the market-goers and take pictures without being offensive; it’s a good place to pause and consider a game plan for the chaotic marketplace below. I most definitely recommend a large and wholesome breakfast before setting off into the crowds.
