Eat
There are two comedors in town, one on each side of the old airstrip. Don't expect anything of a food nature but beans and eggs unless you bring it yourself, and you will not be disappointed.
Drink
Thanks to solar energy, there are cold beers at the comedors and at some tiendas in town.
Sleep
The comedor nearest the Cooperativa has two basic dorm rooms with four double beds each right behind it. Make sure that a comfortable bed is available before paying. Make sure you know exacly where the outhouse is before dark.
Go next
There is presumably a cantina somewhere in town, but I didn't go looking for it.
