El Aguaje del Moro

Northern Central Highlands


Known for its exceptionally spicy enchiladas (though you'll have to request spice – gringos automatically seem to get a fairly tame order unless they insist), this pleasant place has a breezy balcony with views toward the mountains, as well as over the main road. It's a good-value and cozy place for a meal.
