The gentleman who runs the shop is extremely friendly. The restaurant is very clean and has seating inside/out. Although there is another adjacent restaurant with the same name as you can see from my menu photos - not sure if that is meant to separate restaurant from bar but both have areas with a power outlet to sit and work. I came by twice: first for classic Nica breakfast with deliciously fresh triple mixed juice and the jalapeño beef which was a bit salty but meant to balance off with the gallo pinto. It was cash only and they charge 10% auto-gratuity but for everything that came with the experience, it was worth it.

Gallo Pinto with Eggs Any Style
Authentic & tasty food. Vegetarian options are available. Family run business. Nice service. Good prices. We went there 3 times in 2 days. Twice for dinner and once for coffee. Dinners were huge portions - especially anything that comes with rice. Just skip the coffee though it is quite watery. Juices are delicious and cocktails nice & strong 💪
Amazing nica breakfast before catching the ferry. The juices were fantastic and the coffee too. Bright and sunny cafe, cozy place to eat.

Authentic local food for affordable prices! Service was fast and staff were kind. They made a mistake on our bill, but when we pointed it out, they cleared it up no problem & were super apologetic about the mix up :)

This place came highly recommended by virtually everyone in Myogalpa, and its a shame I never really got to properly experience the restaurant. I visited to take away some breakfast for the following morning before doing the Concepcion hike, and the owner was extremely helpful in recommending a good dish for the following day.
Rather than the usual desayuno options, he suggested the chicken fried rice for 215C. We agreed that it would probably not taste as good the next day but that it was a good choice for reheating.
However. I have had reheated fried rice before, and there was a big difference between that, and what I ate for breakfast that following morning. Was there chicken in there? Allegedly. Was there rice? Definitely. Anything else to flavour the fried rice? No, beyond some ketchup and mayo, and overall the portion sizing wasn't huge. It's lucky I had snacks on hand for the hike.
The fact is, that Ometepe island is a place where you can get some delicious meals for 180C, and some average breakfasts for 100C. I'm not sure why I ended up with a bad breakfast for more than both then as a result.
The owner was super nice and helpful, which is why this is getting 3 stars, but in any other circumstances I'd probably rate it lower.

Originally I wanted the „Cantoneso Rice, Potatoes, Lettuce Salad“ (Arroz Cantonos, Papas, Ensalada) it’s also with ham and chicken. Because I’m vegetarian I wanted to order that meal without the meat. Unfortunately it’s not possible, god knows why;), instead to do the cooking without meat. If you’re vegetarian you can order only this meal „Vegetarian Rice“ (Arroz con Vegetales y Huevos) which is unfortunately without potatoes. Food was eatable.
Buen desayuno, con mucha cantidad y los precios eran estupendos. El café estaba riquísimo. El sitio es muy agradable, con sus ventiladores, tienen wifi... No se puede pagar con tarjeta.
Buen desayuno local en Moyogalpa. El pueblo está lleno de restaurantes para turistas y esta soda local es la mejor para huir de los precios en dólares y comer un buen pinto.
Puedes pedir un buen plato de pinto con huevo y un ingrediente más a muy buen precio.
Tienen wifi que va bastante bien y la atención es muy buena.
