Aisito
A bar-restaurant near Humahuaca's central square serving llama ribs, quinoa pies, and locro, with occasional folk music performances.
Located at Buenos Aires 435 in Humahuaca, a few steps from the central square. It ranks first locally on Restaurant Guru. The food is authentic valley home cooking, including quinoa pies, tamal, llama stew served in a clay pot, quinoa stew, and locro. Llama tenderloin and llama ribs are the most praised dishes, and vegetarian options are available. Some evenings feature small, unscheduled folk music shows with guitar, drums, and quena (Andean flute), and the restaurant fills up quickly when there is a performance. Credit cards are accepted, and reservations are possible. With drinks, the average cost is about 30,000 Argentine pesos per person. Opening hours are long, so it works well for dinner after visiting the Hill of Seven Colors.
