Restaurante El Museo

Top choice in Salta & the Andean Northwest


Set in the venerable adobe Jesuit chapel 1km from the center, this place makes an atmospheric venue for a lunch of traditional local specialties, such as humitas, tamales and empanadas. Just turn up and see what's cooking that day. It all smells divine!
