There was a snack shop by the Yokahu Tower, and by now it was about 12:30. Marian wanted to know if we wanted to eat in the snack shop, but all of us said we'd rather have something more indigenous.

So we drove down and stopped at a little roadside stand 15 minutes south of the waterfall (this was the low season so a lot of things are closed). They had a sign in the window that they only had fried food. They had samples of the various items that were available in the window (photo 5), and the milkshake menu (photo 4) was painted on the wall

Favorite Dish: For $6, I got a cheese taco (photo 2) and a strawberry milk shake (photo 3). The milk shake was made in a blender with milk, ice and strawberries. It wasn't made with ice cream. (That's like the milk shakes in RI which are really made with milk - if you want one with actual ice cream in it, you ask for a frappe). I ate on the porch overlooking the rain forest.
