El Navegante - OUT OF BUSINESS

El Navegante - OUT OF BUSINESS

The restaurant/bar, El Navegante, has a nautical theme and seems to be more popular as a bar than as a restaurant. It is across the street from the Pueblo Viejo Market and is a great place to kick back after a hard day shopping. The air conditioner is usually cranked up and the margaritas are supposedly the best in town, for 13 pesos (US$1.30)--they are definitely worth a try. You can also get into El Navegante through the Hotel Rio. The kitchen is open from 8am until 11pm and the bar stays open until 2am. Visa and MasterCard are accepted. There is live music, usually piano, from 10pm to 1am and sometimes there is also live music during the day but it is not scheduled. The food here is not good or bad enough to write home about, just your average uninspiring fare. The last time we ate here the enchiladas (40 pesos, US$4.00) were boring, the prosciutto pizza (50 pesos, US$5.00) was okay, the club sandwich (30 pesos, US$3.00) was pretty good and the tortilla soup (30 pesos, US$3.00) was very good. The service is friendly but sometimes slow. To sum it up, this place is okay for a bite to eat but really great for a cold drink on a hot day.
