About the neighborhood

Residential neighborhood climbing the hill north of Centro. Walkable to the Malecón, quieter than Romántica, and gentrifying fast — expat apartments, third-wave coffee, and boutique guesthouses alongside long-time local families. Cheaper than the tourist core, but no longer cheap.

How are they ranked?

By rating and review count together (a Bayesian average), never by who pays us. Data comes from Google Maps and is refreshed regularly.

How we rank

Google Maps rating and review count combined in a Bayesian average, so a 5.0 from 3 reviews does not beat a 4.8 from 800. Chains and tour agencies are left out of food lists. No placement is for sale: affiliate links, where they exist, are labelled and never change the order.
