Camarones Por Un Dollar $1

North Coast & Lowlands


Don't be fooled by its name – the only thing on the menu that costs $1 is a serving of rice. Nevertheless, this cozy seafood restaurant packs in the crowds. Its recipe for success? Big family plates that are piled high with fresh seafood, plus daily lunch specials and soups from just $2.
