Cruisers are some of the best cooks in the world. That’s because while underway and in isolated anchorages there are no restaurants. Every meal comes from the cruisers’ galley. While in port, dining out is a valued treat. Examiner.com recently asked several cruisers in La Paz, one of the major ports in the Sea of Cortez, for restaurant recommendations,. Here are their answers.
Bandido's Grill
Both Mike on Echo and David on Harmony took delight in the hamburgers cooked on the grill in the hood of a car at this enjoyable restaurant. The restaurant is fun, the outdoor seating is delightful and with no shortage of waiters the service is good.
Location: Navarro Esq. Topete
Bismark
During their two week stay in La Paz the crew of Harmony frequented the Bismark more than any other restaurant in town, dining almost daily on the yummy and inexpensive fish and shrimp tacos. Stephen on Veraison gave this restaurant two thumbs up as well. The Bismark started years ago as a taco stand and has developed into an incredibly popular, but affordable restaurant.
