El Mesón del Ahorcado
It's hard to beat a name like El Mesón del Ahorcado, which means 'the hanged man's restaurant' or, as its called locally in English, the Hangman. And, indeed, the easiest way to spot the place is by the cowboy effigy dangling by its neck from the gallows out front. Even harder to beat than the name is the Hangman's food. This is the one restaurant in San José you shouldn't miss. The best part: it's cheap. Choices include quesadillas made with huitlacoche (a black fungus that grows on corn).

El Comal
Boasting some of the best patio seating in town, El Comal serves classic mainland Mexican dishes with a gourmet twist. Plates include beef medallions in mole (a rich sauce seasoned with chocolate and spices), cochinita pibil (a traditional pork dish from the Yucatán; around US$16) and arrachera en su jugo (flanksteak served in its juice). Prices are reasonable by San José standards, and locals say it's good.

Tequila
The big draws for this classy favorite are the beautiful patio and the 90 varieties of Tequila's namesake swill. The food has morphed from Mexican and Mediterranean-inspired over the years to more strictly Californian, prices have skyrocketed and quality has remained about the same (great, but astoundingly overpriced).

Taquería México
Open-air Taquería México has plastic tables and fabric tablecloths and serves up delicious tacos, stuffed potatoes and reasonably priced seafood to a mostly local clientele. The fish filets are particularly good. On Thursday and Sunday, try the pozole (pork and hominy stew). Full bar.

A romantic seafood restaurant in a restored 18th-century house. The abalone in garlic sauce is superb.
