Best restuarant in town!


I will be in La Paz for a short fishing trip in 2 weeks. I will have some time for La Paz before I head to the beach.
If you only had time for one place, what would it be.
Ambiance and view will count but the food must be good and reasonably priced.
Okay Nomads, let's hear it!

Tres Virgennes is still my favorite overall but there so many that are excellent for other reasons.

Surely you're not going all the way there for just one night so consider these as well each for their own little niche of the market and remember this is just the tip of the iceburg

Since you posted this under the "Baja Fishing & Hunting" forum, should we assume you're looking for a fish taco stand?;)

There is a restaurant that serves the best darn Arrecharra (flank steak) but I am drawing a partzeimers blank on the name. Will come up with it later if possible.

C'mon La Paz, nomads, help with the name!

If you end up in La Ventana per your original plan, try the orange juice margies at Viento del Norte and then El Rincon for dinner on the water.

The Mexican locals like the "MI BARQUITO" on the south end of the malecon. I ate there a couple of months ago and was very good. & the margaritas were huge!
On weekends and m ost weekdays they have a live band or a singer that has his own music and belts out (the guy is good!) great spanish songs.

Thanks, ya that's my plan. But I'll be in La Paz for the 1st afternoon.
I'm thinking I might go out to Cortez Club and sit out there and order some food from the restuarant.
Might not be the best food or price but the view can't be beat.
Is the little bar out there also the Cortez Club or is that just the dive shop?

Mi Barquito is about 25 doors (or about 4 short blocks) south of the Applebees.
By the way, the Buger King is behind the Applebees...the probably share their chefs, or what ever. I know they share their trash containers and parking lots as well.

I guess you didn't notice that I mentioned fishing in my 1st sentence.
This diner is in preparation for the next days fishing.

Ya know, it's all about the fishing!

Is the MAR Y PEÑA restaurant still around? We ate there with Tucker and it was quite good!

I can't wait to get back to La Paz and eat at JESSE's TRES VIRGINES...

The Los Pelicanos bar at the Los Arcos has one of the nicest sunset views of the bay on the Malecon, besides being very comfortable and nice.
The dining room downstairs, Bermejo, serves decent food at reasonable fare in a nice atmosphere.
For years, their Chateaubriand for two, was one of our favorable meals in La Paz, till other folks discovered the bargain price and made them just about triple their price.:no:

I still think they are reasonable for a restaurant on the Malecon
