El Fogón
Red-checked tablecloths, an airy dining room facing La Costera and neon lights blazing out the names of Mexican specialties all create a welcoming atmosphere at this eatery popular with local families. If you’re hungry, try the house special, molcajete acapulqueño : enough steak, pork, ranchero cheese, grilled nopales (cactus), avocado slices and freshly made tortillas to feed two people! There is another branch as the corner of La Costera and Alaminos ( [tel] 484-50-79; open 8am to midnight Sunday to Wednesday, 8am to 3am Thursday to Saturday).

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.
