Budget
Chili's Pepper
Good atmosphere and often busy always a good sign.
La Bahia
Amazing seafood.
La Tromoya
Also on plaza machado and the best option next to pedro y lola's. indifferent service, but good food especially the tortilla soup.
Te Amo Lucy's
Great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. freshly squeezed oj, all homemade food lucy makes it in the kitchenand nothing from a can. tony, her husband, works out front and is a bit weird in a good way, but you really do have to love the place, and he adds character. (http://www.teamolucys.com/)
