Similar to the style of La Negrita, this place looks small from the outside, but as you walk in, you'll see it leads to an outdoor area with a small dance floor and a live band! Drinks are cheap here (e.g. 180 pesos for a bucket of beer). The place is adorable with tons of artwork and a wonderful open-air vibe.

I would recommend la Dona for the ladies, it's adorably decorated with a little candy on the side. Reasonable selection of mostly local fare but the tacos stood out, we had at least one of every one of them and were were impressed with both the quality and quantity. Maybe a bit pricy for the area but I consider it a good choice for casual dining, the outdoors seems to have a constant breeze due to the way the plaza is constructed.
