Bismarkcito
Located right on the bay, Bismarkcito is a La Paz classic. With a spacious terrace and unbeatable views, this restaurant specializes in lobster, seafood tacos, and even pizzas. It’s a favorite stop for anyone who loves ocean-to-table dining.

A colorful tavern with vintage charm, Los Magueyes is known for its perfectly grilled steaks, signature margaritas, and traditional Mexican dishes. The festive atmosphere makes it a great spot for both locals and visitors.
Chuk's Best Hot Dog
Chuk’s has been serving what many call the best hot dogs in the world, There is no other hot dog stand like this in the world. Over 47 years and counting in the same spot. I knew of a friend who lived in Guadalajara who would have a Chuk attack and would fly his helper down to La Paz, order 20 and fly back home in one day! True story.
