Description:
This hip cafe/bar puts its claim to insider coolness on the door -- the name is a reference to the town that is the setting for García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. Macondo looks more like an artsy coffeehouse than a restaurant, and the soundtrack is generally trendy tropical rhythms. The cooking is nearly as funky and imaginative as the decor. Dishes, such as the alpaca mignon with bacon in mushroom and white-wine sauce, are very well presented and served in generous portions. Much of the menu echoes the laid-back tropical theme. Juanes are chicken, rice, and salsa wrapped in a Bijao leaf, and chicken kabobs are accompanied by peanut sauce, like a satay. Well suited for the bohemian neighborhood of San Blas, this friendly cafe serves a variety of splashy cocktails (with two daily happy hours) and is gay-friendly. Its owners operate the kitschy bar-restaurant Fallen Angel on Plaza Nazarenas.
