El Cabrito
A local tradition since 1963, this reader-recommended restaurant has some of the city’s finest traditional Mexican food, such as Oaxaca-style black mole made of 32 ingredients. For those who like a dare, the house specialty is cabecita de cabrito – broiled head of baby goat. The outdoor tables offer prime people-watching.

Restaurant La Perla
First-rate views of the death-defying clavadistas almost justify the high price of a meal at this restaurant-bar (minimum consumption is M$250 during performances); candlelit terraces and sea breezes are a bonus. The menu is heavy on meat and seafood, with a couple of chicken and pasta dishes thrown in for good measure.
