Las Vigas
The place was a bit hard to find, a bit secretive. It is on the second floor of a pink building with a small sign outside. Excellent treatment, great variety, quiet atmosphere. Full of locals. Their wings are very delicious.

Centro Cultural Olimpio
A cultural center where dance performances are staged most evenings. Information on upcoming performances is available in the entrance. These performances are very popular – it is best to arrive early. Shortly before the performance people without tickets gather in a queue stretching sometimes to over 100m, in the hopes that paying audience members leave the performance early and thus vacate a seat.

El Trapiche
Good and cheap Mexican food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The daily comida is an especially good value.
