1900
Beyond-the-call service is the key to this highly enjoyable restaurant a block down from the plaza. It’s very popular, but it hates to turn people away, so a Tetris-like reshuffling of tables is a constant feature, bless ’em. Prices are more than fair, and there are a number of large platters designed to be shared. Well-mixed salads and juicy brochettes are highlights.

Museo Cóndor Huasi
Up some stairs at the end of a little shopping arcade, the Museo Cóndor Huasi has a well-presented archaeological collection, including some fine bronze axes, gold-leaf jewelry and an illustrated information panel (in Spanish) on hallucinogen use among the Diaguita people.
