A
Las Pichanchas
This courtyard restaurant specializes in Chiapas food with live marimba music and, from 9pm to 10pm every night, a show of colorful traditional Chiapas dances that whips up quite a party atmosphere. Try the tasty tamales or pechugajacuané (chicken breast stuffed with beans in a hierba santa sauce), and leave room for chimbos, a dessert made from egg yolks and cinnamon.

Restaurante La Casona
Beyond stately carved wooden doors, high ceilings, columns and interior arches frame a dramatic table-clothed dining room in a century-old building. Dine on regional dishes like pollo juchi (fried chicken with pickled vegetables and potatoes) or tasajo en salsa de chirmol (sliced beef in tomato sauce) and listen to marimba performances from 2pm to 6pm.

Naturalíssimo
Keeping thankful vegetarians afloat, Naturalíssimo offers healthy breakfasts, whole-wheat bread, tortas and veggie hamburgesas, as well as thirst-quenching fruit juices and licuados. The fake meat dishes aren’t super-inspiring, but do the trick if you need protein.

La Chat de la Nuit
Fancy French food meets Argentine steakhouse for a culinary collision of caracoles (snails) and prime bistek. It works delightfully, as does the elegant adjoining bar, with a speakeasy atmosphere and live trova, salsa and merengue from 21:30 till late.
