I know this is a belated response to Anna's post but breakfast at the little stands by the bus station was a regular thing for me during the 3 months I spent in Playa this past winter. There is one in particular which I can only distinguish by a sign which said "Ricos Tamales" on the front. A really friendly couple ran it and they specialized in both chicken & beef tacos and tortas. Either was delicious and I obviously became addicted. It's a small thing but one of the things I miss most about Playa.
I'll never forget standing there on morning last February when a tourist couple was walking up from the ferry terminal (I think) and the woman said to her husband, "Oh look honey, this looks good" (referring to the food stands), to which he replied, "Awww honey, that stuff's the bottom of the food chain. We're goin to McDonalds!" as he pointed heroically up to the golden arches. I laughed in disbelief and only hoped that the locals standing around me didn't catch what he had said.
