Palo Solo
( 2512-2735; Parque Palo Solo; dishes US$7.50-10.50; noon-10pm)
Set on a shady patio
beneath a beamed bamboo roof at the western edge of Parque Palo Solo, this restaurant
serves up tasty Nicaraguan mixed-grill plates. It might have been classy once, but the ci-
garette holes in the tablecloths and bubble-blowing waitresses limit its claim to fine-din-
ing status. Still it's lively, the food is good and the view is fantastic.
