Fodor's Review:

Kick off your day with breakfast at this emerald-green restaurant. Mornings are the perfect time to snag one of the precious tables in the back garden, an unexpected refuge from the noise and traffic of the city. Choose from the americano, with pancakes and toast; the tico, with bread, fried bananas, and natilla (sour cream); or the huge criollita, with ham or pork chops; all have eggs on the side. Workers from nearby government office buildings begin to pour in late in the morning, and the lunchtime decibel level increases appreciably. (This is the one time of day we recommend avoiding the place.) They filter out about 2 PM and once again you have a quiet place for coffee and dessert.
