La Estancia

Upscale and pleasant Argentinian steak place. Portions aren't of the legendary Cochabamba size, but rather of the normal steak-portion size. Word is that the salad bar is amazing. You can get those skinny skinny chip-like potato fry crisps here.

Address: La Recoleta (Av. Uyuni)
Price: Cut of chicken breast fillet is about Bs. 35 and steak Bs. 45-50
