If you want to try a few local dishes then El Trapiche is a good place to go. The restaurant offers tables outside on a terrace or inside in a large room with a mock-up straw hut at one side. Service is a little slow, but the menu makes up for the wait as normal fare is mixed with items like Surtido de Piscadas (assorted traditional fried starters, $1.60) and the very tasty Tamal de Olla (traditional stew-like Hungarian goulash, $4).
