Breakfast and coffee
ARCANA restaurante
It's vegan and it's delicious. Get the smoothies and the waffles, in a shady garden with good coffee.
Chez Céline
French bread and pastries, breakfast, and an easy coffee stop on 5th Avenue at Calle 34.
Dinner
Los Sánchez
Some of the best tacos in town. A little pricey, but worth it, and the place is buzzing at night.
