I still do sounds like a Cantina, and with those prices it won't be out of range.
In some Cantinas they have special dishes depending on the day of the week, others change depending on the specialty of the house or the time of day. In general we would say "antojitos" or most commonly "botana" (snack) as they are not intended to be a "real" meal, just some very tasty food to make company to your drinks.

Mmmh, sorry, can't help in this one, I live in Mexico city and in my first and only visit I didn't went around town too much (my breakfast was at the tacos by the bus station, lunch and dinner close to my hotel ). Next time I'm in Playa I will give a try at some of the sites mentioned in this forum to give a "local" report. Meanwhile we need to send James and Anna in this errand.
And also, if you voluntaire in your next trip, I would recomend bringing a small English-Spanish dictionary, so the waiter can write the specialties available for you to translate.
