Mercado Central
At the northeast corner of the market, street vendors sell snacks and pastries unavailable in other parts of Bolivia, including delicious crêpe-like panqueques. Breakfast is served out the back, other cheap meals are upstairs, and you’ll find fresh juices are in the produce section. Don’t miss the huge bakery and sweets section off Bolívar.

La Floresta
A great place for pitchers of fresh lemonade and all-you-can-eat buffets of pork, chicken and salads, served in a lovely, leafy garden with a large swimming pool. Local families stream in on weekends when the atmosphere is particularly lively. It’s a bit out of town, so get a taxi here – the staff will call one for the return journey.

Chingo’s

Dive into the fabulous range of breads, cakes and pastries, including French-style baguettes, chocolate cake and cuñapes (cassava and cheese rolls). If you prefer to have yours to go, pop into the Palacio de las Masas next door, which is open in the morning.

La Vaca Loca
Sister cow to the Samaipata mad cow ('Vaca Loca' means 'Mad Cow'), this is a more stylish version with cow-skin chairs, pleasant low lighting and good food. Go for the juicy chicken sandwiches and superb salads, and finish with an ice cream.

Churrasquería El Rodeo
With Argentina so close, it’s not surprising that big slabs of red meat are popular in Tarija, and that is all that you get here. This sparkling and classy choice also has a salad bar.
