Churrería Manolo's
A perennial favourite famous for its cream-filled churros (doughnut tubes), this place packs in the crowds in search of a sugar rush day or night (the churros are delectably hot and fresh around ). The second-floor balcony, with its view of the pedestrian mall below, is ideal for an afternoon of people-watching.

La Cocina de Leña
One of the best-known restaurants in town, 'the Wood Stove' has the endearing tradition of printing its menu on brown paper bags. Typical dishes include corn soup with pork, black-bean soup, tamales, stuffed peppers and oxtail served with yucca and fried plantain. It also serves local desserts and alcoholic concoctions, including guaro , which is the highly recommended local firewater. There's live marimba music on some nights.

Lukas
The Lukas has a good mid-priced selection of standard meat and seafood meals, as well as Italian dishes and sandwiches. It's locally recommended for good steaks and is a convenient location for carbo-loading before a night of drinking at the surrounding bars.

Nuestra Tierra
This country-style restaurant is nestled underneath a traditional thatched patio strung with bunches of onions and plantain bananas, and serves local food that is anything but typical. The menu features tasty casados and traditional favorites such as chorreadas (pan-grilled corn cake served with cheese or sour cream) and tamales. The ingredients are fresh, the sauces are thick, the service is friendly and the prices are right.
