Cafetería Cobel
Always jam packed with regulars, the Cobel is an institution in La Ceiba. And for good reason - típica is served hot and fast and it's a steal. Try the hearty pollo con arroz (chicken with rice), crispy enchiladas, or if you're feeling adventurous, the sopa de mondongo (tripe soup), which is popular enough to make it a regular daily special. Service is decent but prepare to flag someone down at the height of the lunch hour.

Mango Tango
This breezy restaurant-café-bar is a good place to start any Zona Viva outing - for many, it's the main destination. Its claim to fame is the well-stocked salad bar, one of the few in Honduras. The rest of the menu it typical north coast and Ceibeño fare - lots of seafood - served fresh at palapa -shaded tables. The bar stays open late, with sports playing on large TVs.

Mixers
Cafeteria-style eating is what you'll get at this locale. Every day a new variety of típica is served up - there's always beans, rice and a vegetable dish though - so you won't get bored if you eat here more than once. It's on the 2nd floor of a peach-colored shopping center.

Pupusería Universitaria
Honduras and El Salvador don't agree on much but they do agree on the merits of corn-dough patties stuffed with cheese and chicharrón (fried pork rind) and grilled to piping-hot perfection. Honduran pupusas tend to be larger (and more expensive) than the Salvadoran originals, but no less tasty.

Ricardo's
Reputed to be one of the finest restaurants in northern Honduras, Ricardo's offers a quiet and classy respite from the hubbub outside. Choose between eating in a comfortable air-conditioned dining room or a leafy garden courtyard. Seafood is the specialty but steak and pasta dishes also are very good. If you like spicy food, the Pescado Ricardo's - broiled fish topped with jalapeño sauce and Parmesan - is divine.
