Los Braseros
With over 20 years in business and 140 dishes on the menu, this is a wonderful place to sample specialties from all over Mexico. Founder Leonel still works the grill on occasion to give his staff a day off. Whatever you do, don’t leave without trying one of the sensational tacos al pastor (M$6). Equally tempting are the trademark alambres, tasty mixes of grilled fish, meat, veggies and cheese.

Doña Licha
Licha is well known for its down-home Mexican cooking, casual atmosphere and excellent prices. There are always several comidas corridas from which to choose, including one delicious specialty, pollo en cacahuete (chicken in a peanut sauce); all come with rice, beans and handmade tortillas. Breakfasts are huge.

Puerta del Sol
This romantic restaurant perched on the cliffs between Playas Madera and La Ropa has spectacular bay and sunset views. And the international menu is on fire, literally. Start with a flambé steak, followed by flaming bananas in Kahlua and finish off with a fiery Irish or Spanish coffee. Reservations are a must in high season.
