Tarija, Bolivia Apr 7, 2013 Delicious saltenas They are just like empanadas but have potato and are much saucier! The pastry is sweeter too more like a shortcrust. Huge fan. Waist line.. Not so much!
Tarija, Bolivia Apr 6, 2013 Gattopardo Tasty burger and fries. Homemade bun totally fell apart but flavour was good.
Tarija, Bolivia Apr 6, 2013 Gattopardo We really tried to eat somewhere else. But everywhere in our book had closed down. This restaurant is filled with locals too. Spaghetti bolognese. Nicely cooked noodles (rather than pasta) and a sauce that did remind me of Italy. I know it seems boring to eat this here but really options mostly western here. The hot dog street food stall was not appealing.
Tarija, Bolivia Apr 6, 2013 Gattopardo I just ordered what everyone else was ordering. These weren't even on the menu Saltenas. How I love you. They are always served burnt on top as the oven has to be seriously hot. These ones are amazing. Loads of sauce. Fresh herbs and minced meat. There is a slight tangy tomato taste to them too which I must look up.
