One of my favorites places to eat on Isla is Bally Hoo. I've always wondered where the place got the name, so I tried Wikipedia to see if ballyhoo really is the name of a small fish. I was able to quickly eliminate the song option because I doubt it's named after an Eddie Arnold tune! And yes, I found the Ballyhoo fish!
Anyway, Bally Hoo has the most comfortable dining chairs on the island, and the food's also pretty dang good. It's a great place to watch all the action at the marina and docks. On a hot day, it's also one of the best cool dining options. If it's a Norte day, take a sweater!
One of the best seats on Isla!
The marina.
All kinds of boats!
The Isla waterfront.
Simple panga below my chair.
And my favorite, the shrimp tacos with tamarindo sauce.
