This year they also have steaks - the best steaks I have had in Mexico. This lady knows how to cook! Prices are 60 to 120 pesos. They also offer New York style cheesecake and homemade brownies and trouffles. It is very good!!! They are open Wednesday through Sunday in the evenings and Sunday morning for brunch. It closes during the summer.

Wala Wala has moved to a new location. It down the street from the old location about a half block further from the plaza. The new place is bigger and better and I am looking forward to some good food and good concerts this winter. They are open from 7:30am until 10pm - closed Sundays.

Best Tacos The best tacos are served in a new place on the west side of the plaza - carne asada with grilled onions on corn tortillas with a good selection of sauces and condiments including beans. They also have tortas and quesadillas.

Prices are from 30 to 70 pesos (for shrimp). There are many tastety dishes in the 30 to 40 peso range.

Wakame Gourmet Chinese They have a good selection of Chinese and even some Japanese food.   Also they have an excellent buffet on Sundays for 60 pesos - go early for the buffet because Mexicans eat their big meal in the afternoon.

El Delphin at the Garza Canela It's hard to believe this place exists in San Blas - in fact you feel like you left San Blas when you enter the restaurant. El Delphin offers gourmet French food at reasonable prices - 100 to 150 pesos a plate. The chef who was born in San Blas attended the Cordon Blue chef's school in France.
