“Dinner on the Plaza”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

We have gone to the theater & dinner on the plaza for many years. The food and the people are really friendly and sincere.

“come on weekends”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

Weekends are always lively, the merchants are out with their wares, all the locals and their family's are having dinner, holding hands and enjoying an evening walk. Come on a week night if you want a quiet place to have dinner, relax and enjoy a great meal

“A cultural stop”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

This is a fun place to walk around, look at the crafts that are on display on the weekends. There is often a different cultural theme for each month. The theater had some very fine presentations

“Nice spot in the old town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 20, 2012

It is very clean, with lots of benches to sit down and enjoy the view of the colonial colors and architecture surrounding the plaza. It is walking distance from the market and there are some good restaurants.
