Tiramisu - 5th Febrero y Prieto
For a fun time, street side people watching, buying bottle after bottle of vino at OXXO across the street and a great plate of handmade pasta,
fettucini, raviolis, or lasagna for just a couple of bucks nothing beats, or comes close to, Tiramisu.
Just up 5th de Febrero past the giant domed church, an easy walk from the marinas or malecon.
A plate of pasta, bread, salad for 5-6 bucks and an authentic Italian cook yelling and gesticulating like it's grandmas kitchen. Top it off with a
namesake tiramisu or 1,000 layer cake and an espresso that will put hair on your nethers....bring 6 friends, eat quality pasta, drink, laugh and eat
some more for under a hundred dollar bill. Can't think of another place you can do this, at this quality, in BCS or many places in the world.
It's an experience, crazy cheap, and silky smooth pasta like it should be.
My two cents.

We have always enjoyed a meal at Polermo's Italian Restaurant on the Malecon. Pricey but excellent food and atmosphere.

Newer Sushi Longer Malecon Restaurant at Bravo and on Malecon(old Applebees site), not just Sushi, Chile Rellenos appetizers were my favourite, others
liked the Japanese dishes. Nemi, NIM or MacFisher were recommended to us, but were never open when we wanted to eat. I personally liked the Jungle(new
name, used to be called Tribu and this is still shown on Google walkaround) upper level further up the Malecon past the ice cream places.

We ate at NIM in late Oct during our 3 week drive trip, and it was probably our favorite dinner of the entire journey. The black sea bass was
incredible, as was the beef carpaccio! Seafood tacos also excellent.

I'm surprised no one referred you to Starbucks and McDonalds.

NIM and its sister operation Azul Marino are probably the best and least pretentious restaurants in La Paz.
Constantly good.
The rest?
Lotsa mayo and slimy sauces
Sushi in La Paz?
Yikes!

Only the local Mexican relatives ordered the fast food American stuff John. I ordered Mexican, and they ordered burgers and fries every time i took
them out for dinner. Their constant favourite was Carls Jr. for takeout, while I was into shrimp Empanadas. There was this one really good fish Taco
place well off the Malecon, https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g150771-d88252...
but most of the time I just ate at the Mercados and never once was disappointed.

food is not only for your taste buds
it is definitely a social exercise
and many times people don't ask they taste buds - they ask what do I need to eat/drink to be cool
I forgot - the word cool is no longer cool
which word is used today?
help me!

Mexican?
Go to el Sarape at the very end of the boardwalk. Next to Tailhunter's.
Their chilaquiles are to die for and one order is easily enough for 4 or more people!
We always eat upstairs, right on the balcony.

Asadero Rancho Viejo on Marquez de Leon, block off Malecon, and there's one on the Malecon.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
