Trujillo
Overlooking pleasant Parque California, this welcoming modern place is billed as a gastrobar, but while the food is pretty good, it's more of an upmarket bar/disco hybrid. Get there early to grab one of the tables on the mezzanine, overlooking the stage where live bands belt out varied Latin music.
It's a good one-stop destination: you can eat, drink and dance here with a fun-loving, mostly local crowd.
