Though right smack-dab in the middle of the market hubbub, this peaceful 2nd-floor restaurant, with its wrought-iron chairs and wood tables, offers a reasonably quiet respite from the activity below. These folks dish up their signature pollo estilo San Juan (a chicken breast in tomato sauce), with guacamole salad and rice on the side. The menu makes a big deal of specifying that the chile relleno is "not spicy." It's actually a beef and vegetable-filled bell pepper, a signature highland dish. Be sure to accompany your main dish, whatever it is, with the warm homemade tortillas. Sunday lunch gives way to a sumptuous buffet.
