Tarija - Restaurant travel guide and discussion

Restaurant: El Churo Cangrejo Address: ex camino a, Coimata This is the only official address, but searching for "El Churo Cangrejo, Tarija" will bring up the correct map. 🕰️Opening Hours: 9:30-19:00 Mon-Sun 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Apparently used by tour companies, the garden is lovely and well-set up. You can also borrow hats, coats, and crab-shaped ornaments for commemorative photos. There was no menu, but you could choose between crab alone (misquichos) or a mix of crab and small fish (congregitos mix), with a choice of white corn or potatoes as a side dish. It was 30 Bs, and beer was 13 Bs. The small fish were a mix of about three types, large, medium, and small, and were surprisingly delicious, so even if you came specifically for the crab, I recommend ordering the mix. Since you eat the crab whole, I enjoyed the texture more than the meat. Perhaps the meat content varies depending on the season. I saw the crabs live on the counter, so I'm sure they were very fresh. I couldn't find any in the city of Tarija, and it seems like there are many crab shops in this area, but it was a weekday lunchtime and no other shops were open. They fry them only after the order is placed, so you can enjoy fresh, crispy crabs. Perfect with a beer! You won't find crabs like this anywhere else in South America, so it's definitely worth trying at least once to have as a souvenir to share with your friends. #unusual #cangrejo #tarija

#easytravelpost La Vieja sits on the eastern Yungas drop above Tarija, reached via Camino a la Concepción (colectivo Bs 10, then 6 km walk down the old mule road). At 2,600 m the forest is transitional Yungas—ferns, epiphytes, moss on every limb, and a 40 m limestone cliff behind the tarn where water threads down in July. No park fee, it’s municipal watershed, swimming forbidden (fine Bs 200, posted). I carried 2 L, bought a 5 BOB empanada in Concepción before descending. The moss here is Thuidium, bright yellow-green, thicker than anything in the altiplano. I slipped on a root and grabbed a fern—held. A beekeeper on the road gave me a taste of miel de yungas straight from the comb. Mistake: I wore jeans, they stayed wet to Tarija. Take zip-offs. Tarija card machines work in town, not at the trailhead. Is a Yungas forest “Bolivian” only when it’s on a postcard, or when the moss stains your socks?

While you can eat saice in other parts of Bolivia, the residents of Tarija tout it as a local specialty. Among them, this restaurant is highly recommended by locals! Doña Pastorita It was also recommended by our winery tour guide. This is the birthplace of a woman who dedicated her life to improving Tarija's fine cuisine, and her descendants have continued the tradition. Even though it's a famous restaurant, the menu items are all reasonably priced. The saise here is a must-try. Going through the small, slightly confusing entrance, you'll find a spacious courtyard, indoor dining area, and dining space. Inside, there are exhibits of kitchen utensils and family photos that Dona Pastorita used in the past. One thing to keep in mind is the opening hours. They're closed in the evenings. 🕰️Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday 　　　　　　 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM 📍Location: Daniel Campos 1248, Tarija Phone Number: +591 70227000 This popular restaurant is recommended for those arriving early. When it gets crowded, you may have to wait quite a while. However, the relaxed atmosphere makes it a good idea to order a drink and wait patiently with an empty stomach. If you do, be sure to order a larger portion. The Saice is a combination of ground beef seasoned with an exquisite sauce, rice, pasta, and salad. If you order a smaller portion, you may regret wanting more. After paying, you'll be given a slip with your order written on it. Don't lose it, as it may be checked later. The order-taking and delivery staff are separate, so it's possible to receive the wrong item. If you think you didn't order what you ordered, it's a good idea to show the slip to confirm. If you come to Tarija, don't just stop by for the wine; be sure to try some Saice too! 😆! #saice #donapaatorita
