Where Caracol aims for refinement, Añejo delivers a more relaxed but equally accomplished experience centred on Mexican and coastal Latin American cooking. The setting is casual-elegant: open fire, hanging copper pans, and a mezcal bar that ranks among Central America's best.

The tacos are considered without being precious: soft corn tortillas made from heirloom masa, filled with smoked marlin or braised short rib. The guacamole is prepared tableside with a mortar and pestle, which sounds like theatre but produces a noticeably better texture.

Budget around USD 80-120 per person. No reservation is required for the bar, but the dining terrace books up quickly at weekends.
