"Easier to get into than Contramar, but with the same menu. The tostadas con atún y erizo are wonderful. All of the crudos are excellent."

"If you go to one place in Mexico City, it should be El Cardenal. The breakfasts are legendary, especially the the hot chocolate and the"panes dulces" that put every other Mexican sweet bread to shame."

"If you're looking for sexy, haute cuisine, don't set foot inside, but if you want to eat where the locals go for superbly fresh seafood, just head upstairs for the corvina frita con patacones."

"Best burgers in Panama. It's also a great place to go on Sunday evenings when everywhere else is closed."
