Dining
Spend a little or a lot for great value and high-quality meals. Menus vary as much as the choices. Just about every street has extraordinary and fine-dining options. May we suggest for starters:
- Burritos along Santa Clara Street
- Burgers, steaks and seafood along Paseo de San Antonio and Park Avenue
- An eclectic mix of superb restaurants along San Fernando Street between First and Fourth streets.
- Something for every taste and budget in and around San Pedro Square
- Ravioli and pasta in every district of downtown
- Explore on your own to find that hidden gem of crepes, pad thai, pizza, sushi, bratwurst, jambalaya, garlic fries, tandoori, satay, falafel, veggie fare or barbecue ribs.
