Fodor's Expert Review L'Espresso Café

Cabana-shirted waiters scurry around, serving up a delicious selection of light café fare, the foundation of which is various pastas and crepes. Accompany your meal with gourmet coffees or smoothies topped off with vanilla, mango, chocolate, or pistachio gelato. The decor is minimalist chic; there are brick walls and an exposed high-beam ceiling, and you're seated at a glass table on a stool covered with a burlap coffee sack. The view out the front door is the stark Compañía de Jesús, the colonial ruins of the Jesuit church, bathed in a soft, mysterious light each evening.
