## Let the meal fit the day.

A waterfront table, a taco stop in San Miguel, or lunch beside your beach lounger can all be the right choice. The important questions are where you will be, what you want to eat, and how much time you can spare.

### Stay near your next stop

On a short visit, a meal close to your return route is often more useful than a destination restaurant across the island. Check the street address rather than relying on “near the port.”

### Ask specific questions

For an allergy or dietary requirement, ask about ingredients, shared cooking surfaces and cross-contact directly. A menu label or third-party list cannot guarantee preparation.

### Check what is included

At beach venues, clarify whether admission, a minimum spend, food, drinks, service and transport are separate. Confirm currency and the total before ordering.
