El Paraíso

El Paraíso—"Paradise" in English—may be an aspirational name for a restaurant where diners eat under a thatched roof, but no one seems inclined to argue about the quality of the food here. The menu is meat-heavy, and a favorite of repeat patrons is churrasco, a traditional Nicaraguan steak.
