Antojitos Mimi
Try Antojitos Mimi, opposite Hotel Calakmul, for some pretty fine salbutes (tortillas fried until they puff up) and an ice-cold agua de jamaica (hibiscus tea).

Parador Gastrónomico de Cockteleros
Parador Gastrónomico de Cockteleros, on the north end of the malecón, 2.5km from the Plaza Principal, is the place to partake of the bountiful seafood netted daily from the Gulf. About 20 thatched-roof restaurants all serve pretty much the same thing: shellfish cocktails and fried fish. Ask to see the day's catch and make your selection; a medium-sized fish goes for about around $50. Most places give you free starters such as fried shrimp or crab legs.

Marganzo
This touristy spot is worth its mustard. Very sweet waitresses start you off with complimentary shredded manta ray, octopus salad, salsa, garlic cream and chips. From there, dig through the extensive menu, which offers everything from international fare to a regional tasting menu. There’s live music and dances at night, and a pretty decent wine list (this being the provinces and all).

Lonchería Las Mañanitas
At the Portales de San Martín, a block north of Avenida Circuito Baluartes Norte, this place serving regional snacks under the arcades of the plaza is a popular gathering place for families and friends. The festive mood is buoyed by a steady stream of panuchos (tortillas filled with mashed black beans), tamales and bowls of turkey soup.

Taquería Los Patitos
Chow down with the longshoremen at this friendly hole-in-the-wall, where overseer doña Hilaria fills tortas (sandwiches in rolls) and trancas (baguettes stuffed with roast pork) with a variety of scrumptious fillings, such as shark-and-egg salad and salpicón de res (shredded beef salad). Don’t miss the exotic fruit juices.

Chef Color
This Central American–style eatery serves up large platters of toothsome fare from a steam table. The list of guisados (main courses) might include potato croquettes and Cuban-inspired ropa vieja (‘old clothes, ’ shredded beef in salsa) accompanied by fried plantains, beans and rice.

Las Mañanitas
With great ocean views some 2km southwest of downtown, this place is perfect for sunset cocktails or a casual lunch or dinner. It serves basically the same menu as their city center location (Lonchería Las Mañanitas), but the atmosphere burns two degrees hotter.

Cenaduría Portales
A relaxed place outside the walls, alongside the delightful Plazuela de San Francisco in the barrio of the same name. It specializes in regional dishes. On warm evenings, an ice-cold goblet of coconut horchata (a rice-based drink) really hits the spot.
