La Chakana

Reviewed By Johnnie L - Bartow, Florida

We picked this restaurant at random from the plaza and were not disappointed. The food was freshly prepared and super delicious. I personally recommend the silpancho.

La Vaca Loca

Reviewed By Geddy98 - Niceville, Florida

We ate lunch twice at La Vaca Loca in Samaipata Bolivia. Their new location, just outside of town, but within walking distance, is really a nice place, especially for outdoor dining. The Lomita Sandwich is the best in Bolivia! The restaurant is exceptionally clean, has excellent service, and beautiful views from their Terrace dining. The owners are a German/Bolivian couple, and are very warm and hospitable. I love La Vaca Loca for lunch and for their ice cream, all of which is very reasonably priced, even by Bolivian standards. We will definitely go back there the next time we are in Samaipata!

Latina Cafe

International, Bolivian and vegetarian food. Cozy athmosphere, friendly staff, great food. Eat a nice meal, or drink a beer and enjoy the marvelous view from the Terrace. We speak English, Spanish and German.

cafe 1900

Reviewed By GlynCarre - Guernsey, Channel Islands

So sad. They have a super location and could deliver so much.
The espresso was disappointing, just average. Watery not strong enough.
Ordered a Crepe which arrived worryingly fast - just 2mins. The filling was great however completely cold - obviously not cooked to order. Most disappointing.

La Luna Verde Resto Bar

Lively in the daytime, romantic at night with a spectacular view of the surrounding Mountains. Great music background and an everchanging chalkboard menu of international delights. Prices fit to suit a traveler's budget Located in La posada Del Sol Hotel with a full bar offering exotic drinks.

Stayed at the hotel and ate here. Catered well for vegetarians and appeared to have a good range of food available. Did run out of the sweet we wanted - should have eaten earlier perhaps.

La Cocina

Food for everyone! We are serving food from the world with hand-made breads, tortillas and yufkas. Enjoy it!

Reviewed By jillreindl - Frankfurt, Germany

the cheese tasted old, I got diarrhea, my brother I was with said his burger was way too greasy, they didn't offer about half of the menu that initially lured us in because they were "too busy"? (there were two other people in the shop) and they wouldn't accept a slightly torn bill (ALOT of the bills are torn in Bolivia and this was the only time a place didn't accept it) so we had to go to another place that happily gave us a newer bill and come back to pay. would not recomend this place at all. (the fries and the decor is nice though)

Manadala Barcelona

Reviewed By giulia_trevisan - Padua, Italy

Semplicemente fantastico. Cucina con prodotti di qualità e gustosissimi, a costo basso, come del resto in tutta la Bolivia. A Samaipata non ci sono molto altri locali, e anche se ce ne fossero di più credo che questo li supererebbe comunque! Il ristorante a settembre 2013 era appena stato inaugurato, gestito da una coppia di ragazzi giovani (lei spagnola, lui boliviano di Santa Cruz che ha vissuto per anni in Spagna). Il ristorante si trova appena entrati a Samaipata, sulla destra (arrivando da S. Cruz) di fronte al minimarket. Lasagne vegetariane, zuppa, torta al cioccolato e biscotti ai cereali eccezionali. Atmosfera accogliente e familiare.

Facing a relaxing garden in an inner courtyard, this small restaurant had excellent food. The Spanish owner does a great job with the cooking. Again, the selling point was the fabulous food!
