El Alamo
El Álamo
A flamboyant diner with a retro American theme and Tupiza's most varied menu. Its spicy beef platter, pique macho, is the most praised dish.
One of Tupiza's liveliest local restaurants, located around Chichas street. The original location is on Avaroa street, and the map lists a newer address. The two-story space is filled with movie and retro music decor, including motorbikes and traffic lights, and reportedly an old Mini parked in the back room. The menu covers Bolivian dishes, sandwiches, steaks, Mexican food, and salads. Pique macho, a large platter of fries, beef, chili, tomato, and onion, gets the best reviews. Prices are low and food comes out quickly, but reviews are mixed, with a Tripadvisor rating of only 3.3. Some diners find the fried cutlets tough and portions inconsistent. It suits travelers who want cheap local food and a lively atmosphere.
