Just off the Conde, across from Independence Park, is Dumbo's. It has a deli-type atmosphere and good service. It's also open 24 hours, but you'd better take your parka because they give you air-conditioning!
If you've ever been to, or passed by, Hotel Duque de Wellington then you've probably noticed one of my favorite places, Cafe Villar. You could order from a menu, but the buffet suits me just fine. They recently put glass on the Independence Avenue side, but the windows slide open which allows you to still have that open-air feel. I won't even mention the wait staff and servers! Okay, just one word....Gorgeous!
I was taken to a different buffet on my last trip. Man, it was beautiful!! El Conuco Restaurant has a carriage out front with all sorts of flowers. The interior is quite decorative also. Talk about "seleciones" on the buffet!! This place even has entertainment, including a lady that dances on a bottle!!! The price point is a bit higher, US $11-20, but well worth it. The address is Calle Casimiro de Moya #152 in the Gazcue area.
The American Restaurant in the colonial zone is pricier also, but has outstanding seafood. My friend had a steak that he's still raving about after TWO years!
I wouldn't dare overlook the experience of dining waterfront, at dusk, at any of the awesome places on the pavilion adjacent to Alcazar de Colon.

Thank Gawd!!! I have been trying to remember the name of the buffet restaurant so I could give it to my friends that were visiting. Thank Mr. Washington and hope to see you there when our vacations coincide. I love that buffet restaurant!!!!
Miss Micki is indeed a fine waitress! She is all smiles as she tends to her clients. Leave her a large tip next time she serves your table.
