Lonely Planet review

Opened in 1950, Modelo is one of the city's oldest cafés, and a great spot to try traditional snacks such as empanadas de verde (plantain empanadas filled with cheese), quimbolitos (a sweet cake steamed in a leaf), tamales (cornmeal stuffed with meat and steamed in a banana leaf) and humitas (similar to Mexican tamales).
