I am going to La Paz for Carnival is ther any suggestion's for good places to eat I will be staying at the La Perla?Diver - 2-13-2009 at 03:58 PM
The restaurant at La Perla is nothing to write home about but you should try their breakfast on a warm morning in the sidewalk cafe'. It's a great
place to watch the people, cars, beach, etc.
Your evening stroll could include a walk up the Malecon for ice cream at the "Polka Dot" place.

Yep, I agree - very good food at both places.
Mar y Pena has always been a favorite of mine, and they lived up to expectations when I ate there last may.
The restaurant on the beach at Tecolote has fresh delicious seafood, salad, potatoes/rice.
For a tasty on-the-go treat... buy some thin-sliced flank steak, a few green onions, peppers, and bolillos. Have the meat and vegies grilled at the
grill shack in the parking lot, wrap the bolillo around it all and enjoy.
Oh yeah - before you go in to the store, be sure to check to see if the grill stand is open.
Ooops.... forgot to tell you where to buy items and have them grilled. CCC on Abasolo - drive the Malecon towards the airport from downtown, when it
turns into Abosolo keep your eyes open for CCC on the left.

I lost track of the fact that you were going for Carnival. Street food there can't be beat. Have some of everything.... then move on to the
above-mentioned restaurants.

cafe Milano is just behind La Perla. Nice but not cheap
3 virgins is the best, but a bit harder to find. One or two bocks east of Cinque de Mayo and 2 or 3 blocks up from the malecon. Reservation would be
smart. The town is crowded with carnaval.
Another good one is Capri at the West end of the Malecon, overlooking the bay with the sun behind you.
Have a good time and bring earplugs since you're booked at La Perla.oxxo - 2-13-2009 at 06:44 PM
Cafe Milano, Tres Virgines, and Rancho Viejo! But the street food during Carnaval can't be beat. Try the hot dog guy next to Carlos and Charlies
establishment. His hot dogs will make you beg for more. His burritos are excellent and one burrito will feed two for 30 pesos (about $2).
See you at Carnaval!BMG - 2-13-2009 at 10:20 PM
La Fonda is one of our favorites for good, inexpensive meals. From the malecon, walk up N. Bravo 3 blocks. On your left at the corner of Bravo and
Rev. de 1910. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Buffalo BBQ for dinner. From the malecon, walk up 5 de Mayo 2-3 blocks, turn left on Madero. About 1/2 a block down on your right. If you like beef,
order a short rib. Another 1/2 block up Madero is Tres Virgines.
La Creperia for dinner. Also on Madero at about Victoria (not sure of the cross street but high, lighted sign on left side of street when walking from
5 de Mayo. Good dinner and desert crepes.
La Cocina de Maria is our favorite for breakfast. Abasolo between Sinaloa and Nayarit. I love their salsa but it is hot so a little goes a long way.
Rancho Viejo for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Walk 1 block up M. de Leon at the end of the malecon down by Papas & Beer. Try the arrachera tacos.
Captain Tony's for lunch or dinner. On Madero between Ocampo and Bravo. He makes a pretty good hamburger but haven't tried any of his other food yet.
Moyeyo's for lunch. Follow the malecon north out of town towards Marina Palmira. Just passed Hotel El Moro. Best campenchana I had in La Paz.BajaNuts - 2-13-2009 at 11:07 PM
Attilio's Turistico Villagio in El Comitan is a good place to visit, but it is "out of town" in the El Comitan community at the north end of El
Centenario. Fresh made Italian dishes in an outdoor cucina. The host, Attilio, is wonderful! (good vino also!!!) Won't work if you're trying to
stay in town, but if you want to go for a 20 minute drive, it's a great hidden treasure!
U2U me if you want more specific directions.BajaNuts - 2-13-2009 at 11:10 PM
ps- Attilio and Viviana also have 5 nice bungalows available to rent.805gregg - 2-16-2009 at 06:54 PM
Great tips, I'm not traveling till June but now I have a list of places to try. Thanks Nomads.The Gull - 2-16-2009 at 07:37 PM
La Fonda without question.gnukid - 2-16-2009 at 09:06 PM
Rancho Viejo was the best but recently they reduced quality. The best is to cook for yourself on the malecon! Bring your food in a back pac and cook
anywhere out! CCC is a great market down the street. Or you can eat at any of the taco stands on the malecon open every day and night. Carnaval is a
great chance to picnic too.BajaNomad - 2-16-2009 at 10:58 PM
BajaNomad "Jesse" 's Las Tres Virgenes seems to me to be the finest I've been to in town. This is a restaurant for early or late dinner. We were
there last on December 30th, 2008, and they had just reopened in a new location, near the Aramburo market (look for the cow over the entrance to
Aramburo).
Michelle and I sampled a number of items from the menu, and were pleased by all. The house wine was more than satisfactory - and that's saying a lot
coming from me.
The new location has - to me - an old-style hacienda-type of layout and was very comfortable. Service was quite good - and that evening Jesse was
visiting most of the diners at their tables.
Here's Ryland and Michelle out front of the new location...
