Tacos Don Felix
Wonderful soups, nachos, and entrees. Try the three meat enchiladas. Friendly service. Only open F-Sa 6PM to Midnight and Sunday, 2PM - 6PM. It is worth the trip!
La Grotta
A wonderful, multi-story restaurant owned by Daniel and son Dyami. La Grotta is located downhill, around the corner, just a block from the main cathedral. While true that the restaurant is casual and the main items are pizza, calzones, and Italian-related, don't let that fool you -- the food is very carefully and freshly prepared.
