On Rota Island, at “Puesto Grill” in Sonson village, it is the local style to enjoy chatting while drinking coffee at the bar counter.
Puesto Grill is a restaurant that opened in Sonson Village, Rota in December 2021. They have a wide variety of menu items such as pancakes, hamburgers, sandwiches, meat dishes, noodles, etc. It opens at 6 in the morning, so if you want to be active from the morning, it might be a good idea to have breakfast at Puesto Grill and then go out.

However, it is not open between 13:00 and 17:00, so please be careful when visiting for lunch. The interior of the store is bright and open, so it is also recommended for cafe use.
Don't forget US dollars when you go to Rota because you can't pay with cash or credit cards!
