Restaurants in Masaya

  1. Aeropuerto 79

    Just south of Masaya on the main road, this fairly spectacular spot - colorful tilework, beautiful gardens, sculptures of large-breasted women - has well-prepared typical food, and specializes in exotic meat, such as armadillo, rabbit or deer. It was a Sandinista military depot during the revolution, and a nearby plane crash in 1979 inspired the peacetime name.

    Right on the park, this impressive steam-table buffet serves huge portions of great food with a few solid vegetarian options.

    Los Farolitos

    This narrow restaurant/bar serves breakfasts with a backpacker-friendly gimmick: you pay for each item (toast, fried plantains, gallo pinto - blended rice and beans) separately. Creative salads (try the broccoli and chicken) and other snacks come all or nothing.

  4. Bar Restaurant Che-Gris

    This popular spot has a selection of meat, seafood and vegetarian meals; a comida corriente (mixed plate of different foods typical of the region) is available. It's considered one of the best restaurants in town, which may be true, but don't get all excited.

    La Jarochita

    Jarochita is well known throughout the region as one of the (if not the) best Mexican restaurants in Nicaragua. It is very good, with Vera Cruz-style tacos, spicy posole rich hominy stew) and good seafood; it doesn't skimp on the cheese.

  6. La Comedor Criolla
