Tupiza

Restaurants in Tupiza

  1. Alamos

    A green light outside marks this popular saloon-style spot where locals and tourists mingle in the funky two-floor space with a Mexican vibe and lots of knick-knacks. The menu features mainly meat dishes, like pique macho (beef chunks and sausages over french fries with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and spicy locoto peppers), and comes in huge tasty portions.

  2. Tú Pizza

    This stylish little eatery on the main plaza has a rustic feel, high ceilings, nice artwork and good service. The food runs the usual gamut of pizzas, pastas and lasagna as well as mains with local goat cheese and quinoa. Try the sweet pizza with chocolate ( and dulce de leche).

  3. Italiana

    This is perhaps the best of several tourist places in Tupiza that all have an almost identical decor and menu. The food options are wide and varied, from thin-crusted pizzas and pastas to finger food, Chinese choices and breakfasts. Good for a glass of wine, cocktail or beer.

  4. Rinconcito Quilmes

    You’ll see few other gringos in this little spot known for cheap filling lunches served in a spacious dining room and a couple of outside tables. It’s popular on weekends for its asados (barbecues) with quality meat from Argentina.

  5. Confitería Los Helechos

    Attached to the Mitru Anexo, this spacious spot offers tasty breakfasts, a salad bar, sandwiches, burgers and vegetarian dishes, as well as refreshing juices. The atmosphere is sedate, apart from the TV blasting, and the service on the slow side.

  6. California

    On the main plaza, this pleasant spot clad in cactus wood is a popular choice for a drink, a game of cards or a meal. The vegetarian choices are decent but overpriced; there’s also llama steak, burgers, pizzas and beer.
