1. El Hornito
$ | |This tiny, hole-in-the-wall spot with a few mismatched blue tables promises only one thing: salteñas (Bolivian empanadas). And it delivers! Few will disagree that these are the best in town, and plenty may agree that they are among Bolivia's best. They come out in massive batches between 9 and noon, piping hot, spicy, juicy, and tomato rich. If there aren't any in sight, wait for the next batch—it's worth it. These salteñas may be the best thing to eat in Potosí. There is no name outside, so just ask around, or keep an eye out for a small wooden sign hanging by the door that simply says, "Hay Salteñas."

2. La Salamandra
$$$ | |Quiet and romantic, this restaurant prepares some of the city’s most creative food yet somehow is not on the radar of many locals or visitors. The menu offers a modern fusion of local and international flavors. Think smoked trout with pickled vegetables, pork fillet with a guava-and-singani (the Bolivian white brandy) sauce, or llama with huancaina sauce (a cheesy sauce with Peruvian yellow chili). The service is excellent and most of the dishes are beautifully presented. It is a bit pricier than some options, but still far from the most expensive in town, and makes a great choice for a fine dining treat.

3. Las 7 Lunares
$ | |Just inside the city's central market, this stall is a must for street-food lovers. Grab a fresh juice from one of the neighbors, then head over to Las 7 Lunares and order one of the legendary fried chorizo rolls (the chorizo is a thin local version of the Spanish-style spicy sausage). It's safe and tasty; just grab a little stool in front of the stall and tuck in. Open from morning until the early afternoon.

4. Phisqa Warmis
$$ | |Colorful and friendly, this is easily the most inviting restaurant in town, with a varied, tasty, and mostly local menu. The staff are attentive (by Potosí standards), and there is a nice mix of locals and tourists. There are good quinoa-based options for those who want to eat light, or the pique macho (a heaping dish of beef and sausage chunks, stacked with fries, boiled eggs, and a chili-and-onion sauce) for those who want to try one of the best, although very meat-heavy, local dishes. The best deal is the daily three-course lunch menu.

5. Pickles
$$ | |A little restaurant with loads of personality—a treat in this city—Pickles feels a bit like a '90s rock-and-roll roll dive bar, complete with walls decorated with signatures and notes from a whole world of visitors. The menu is short but full of great dishes. The picante de día (usually some variation on a spicy stew) makes a great, warming lunch option, and the Milanesa (breaded beef cutlet) or pork ribs will hit the spot later at night as the bar swings into full flow. It's a little shabby, but it's fun, and well worth the visit.

6. Plaza Mayor
$$ | |For those who are hesitant to eat at the market but want to try local food, Plaza Mayor offers a full range of traditional Tarijeño dishes in a cool and comfortable environment. Just a block from the main plaza, it is a pleasant, family-style restaurant with a few nice touches in the decor. The service, although not lightning fast, is friendly, and the food is delicious. There are enough interesting dishes to warrant more than one visit. There is also a good selection of local wines and cheeses.

7. Restaurant Roberts
$ | |Hidden down a short alley off Calle Sucre, Roberts is a lunch spot that fills up daily with local businessmen who know that this is simply the best bargain in town. The bright yellow decor is a bit harsh, but the service is great—friendly and with a touch of old-school class—and the food is really good, particularly considering the price tag for the lunch menu, which consists of a salad bar, soup, a main, and dessert. The soups tend to be substantial local vegetable or fish, and the mains are standard home-style fare such as fried trout, grilled chicken, or a meat-and-potato stew. Get in early before the salad bar gets demolished.

8. Salteñeria El Patio
$ | |As in every Bolivian city, there’s plenty of debate about who really makes the best salteñas in town, but many would point to El Patio—and add bonus points for its sunny interior patio. Prices are more than reasonable, so order one of each and find out which is your favorite. You’ll have to skip your hotel breakfast if you want to get the full experience and go for the typical 9 am salteña start to the day. The service can be slow during peak lunch hours. If you aren’t in the mood to wait in line, head over to their equally good neighbor, Salteñeria Flores, or, on the other side of the plaza, El Paso de Los Abuelos.
