They're super yummy with the spicy orange sauce provided. Also, the spinach and mushroom omelet can get some tasty veggies into your diet. This is definitely a worthwhile breakfast/brunch stop!

The standouts were definitely the marlin fish taco, the Oleas garlic shrimp taco, and the breaded fish taco. I really liked that all the specialty tacos came with melted cheese, though the poblano had a bit too much heat for me. The fresh ceviche completely won us over, it was served with these giant, thin, super-crispy tortilla chips I couldn't stop eating these addictive chips! The hibiscus drink was also a perfect refresher for a hot, humid day. If you visit, I'd recommend grabbing a table outside since the inside is quite dark. Note that it's cash only, though they do accept U.S. dollars with a slightly lower exchange rate.

Hmmm...I'm torn on this one. I liked the chill atmosphere of Northside Cafe. We had a pleasant breakfast there. Each of us had sadnwhiches, and enjoyed trying the unique Golden Latte. Unfortunately, both my wife and I were immediately in the bathroom afterwards. It was only then did I realize that turmeric (the special ingredient in the Golden Latte) is a diarrhetic. Adding that to coffee, which is also a know diarrhetic didn't really seem to be a great combo. Too bad. It tasted pretty good... read more

I ended up eating here 3 times during my stay at the hotel (see separate review). I was the only one eating late afternoon lunch while waiting for my room to be ready. The Mahi-Mahi Fish & Chips was breaded differently than any I've had before, but it was good and the fish was not overdone. They didn't have malt vinegar but the vinegar provided was ok. Corona beer at about 80 pesos was cheap compared to US. Intrigued, I tried the vegetarian Green Omelet for breakfast. Green olives, zucchini, avocado, you get the picture. It tasted better than it looked. For dinner, Tortilla soup was good but a bit too salty for me. I'm not sure what "Artisan Pasta" means, but the Artisan Fungi pasta was excellent; along with the cream sauce, it was probably the best tasting I've ever had! Loaded with mushrooms! The martinis were also pretty cheap at about 79 pesos. So cheap I had 2. The wait staff was very attentive. Food took a bit longer to arrive than I expected, especially since I was one of two guests eating there during my meals; however, the next time I'm in the area, even if not staying at the hotel, I'd definitely stop by for more Artisan Pasta.
