Lonely Planet review for El Cristo
A popular locals’ hangout, the down-to-earth El Cristo has options from all over the Spanish-speaking world. Lots of locals say it’s as good as Calle Ocho gets. The menu has daily specials, but the standout is fish: try it fried for a local version of fish ’n’ chips, or take away some excellent fish empanadas and croquetas (deep-fried in breadcrumbs). The outdoor area is an excellent perch for enjoying 8th St eye candy.
