"El Novillo is a great upscale option with an impressive selection of grilled meats, including a taconazo—a cut of beef resembling a high heel—as well as traditional appetizers, like vigorón, a heap of tangy cabbage salad and boiled yucca topped with crunchy chicharrones. This place also prepares some hard-to-find, old school continental dishes like steak medallions in a marchand de vin sauce and lobster thermidor. However, one of the real draws here is its interior, which is made to resemble a traditional colonial plaza in Nicaragua, complete with a gurgling fountain in the middle of the main dining room." - carlos c olaechea
