This is the only significant non-beach resaurant on the Island, located not on the shore but over in the village. You'll see it if you arrive from the embarcadero boats--and if you leave the island after about 5 PM, when the village dock is the only way off. It's just a thatch roof with tables a few hammocks, and a TV where everybody watches their favorite telenovela.
If you're overdosed on seafood, or just wnat to eat a little cheaper, slip into Osuna's, grab a pop out of the frig, and get tacos, quesadillas or whatever. But the best bet are the tortas, meaning a sandwich on a sourdough roll. I really recommend going all out here--the "especial" is the whole nine yards, pork, cheese, ham, mayo and whatever sort of hot sauce you slap on. Of course, it's also the most expensive torta, around a dollar.
There is no atmosphere here at all. It's not scenic or restful (though the waitresses are pretty cute). It's just a place to sit down, grab a great sandwich, maybe watch a little TV if you like soccer and Mexican soap opera hysteria.
