Restaurante Los Jarrones
Staffed by solicitous bow-tied waiters and perennially popular, Los Jarrones provides welcome air-conditioning and a big choice of Mexican and international fare. Breakfasts are particularly good, though you may want to sit near the windows to escape the painfully hokey live dinner bands.
