The diet here consists largely of items in cream sauce, probably due to the large dairy industry. Several restaurants serve Cuy guinea pig for those feeling adventurous. Street vendors sell tamales and various other street food, especially around dinner time.

Is one of the top restaurants in town. the food is quite good, but the real attraction is the courtyard containing exotic birds and wildlife.
Not recommended: El Batan Gran Buffet. This fancy restaurant has very attentive service, but the food is mediocre at best.
