Not to be confused with SC II, this classic cantina/bar is still the original and, some say, the best. Founded in 1928, the Salon is a popular hangout for local arty types and is decorated with huge photos showing the bar's 1970s clientele cheering during fútbol games. Pastor, steak, cod or octopus tacos are all on offer and are great for curing a hangover. The Salon also serves quesadillas for vegetarians and copious amounts of bottled or draught beer. You can eat and drink your fill here for an excellent value (about $9) and the cantina is ideally placed if you want to go on a pub crawl of the area.
