El Parián
Great enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos, agua de jamaica (hibiscus water) and friendly service make this perfect for anyone watching their pesos. Flat-screen televisions at every corner mean you (or the wait staff) never have to miss a moment of that cheesy Mexican soap.

Restaurant Ricardo’s

La Fonda
Superb Mexican cuisine that’s worlds away from the typical antojitos – try the cream of poblano soup with pumpkin flowers or the huitlacoche (corn mushroom) stuffed chicken. The Don Julio margarita vies for the best in Baja.

La Casa Antigua Café
Vintage photos and clapboards separate this place from the coffee mega-chains. Delicate pastries, good bagels and sandwiches and rich coffee are all worth ducking away from the strip for.

Tacos Yubby
Clean and quick and served with flair, Yubby’s pork, chicken or beef tacos are as good as cheap food gets. If you’re lucky, there’ll be a drunken mariachi or two blaring out a tune.
