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.

El Zaguán
The best restaurant in town does succulent fire-grilled meats, wonderfully prepared guapote (rainbow bass) from the lake or sea bass from the Pacific, all in a cozy dining room where dueling mariachi trios descend at sunset. Make reservations in the high season.

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.
