La Mona
Centro histã³rico. a great pizza place. always filled with locals a good sign, and they have salads that tourists can safely eat.
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/)
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.
Costanzas
Old maz., at serdan and 21 de marzo. comida corrida daily special, prices vary, always good.
There's also a restaurant in the middle of the Square located at Zaragoza and Nelson. Ham and eggs with tortillas, toast, and beansâ30 pesos. The iguanas in the square are fun to watch, too but terrible to eat.

Topolos
A really fancy restaurant-outside in a beautiful courtyard with red walls and oil paintings from local artists. the food is amazing, the service is amazing, but the atmosphere beats all. be prepared for a 5-star meal for 300-400 pesos per person with appetizer, wine, and a main course. their main dishes range from 90-150 pesos. try the cubos tementapec, or the shrimp.
