    Disappointed! Takes forever for someone come to serve. Plus We probably the only table that night, later on did came 2nd table. It was saturday night around 8pm, but I cant believe it was so quiet no customers. Im wondering if the restaurant changed owner or changed chef? Camt be that bad if on 7th position in trip advisor list. Anyway, food was just pretty ordinary. The 5 hours cooked beef 57bs was ok, nothing spectacular but ok and a bit dry and in thevsmallwr side. The spicy lengua 40bs just like any almuerzo you could get at lunch, that usually cost you 10-12bs in Tarija or La Paz. But for 40bs with 4 small pieces ox tongue lengua, not worth it! If you want to experience good real bolivian food, and if you travel to la paz soon, must try Luciernagas Restaurant. Their food is sooo delicious and HUGE also inexpenaive. Im just so disappointed for the size and ordinary taste for such high price. Why cant they give a little more if you charge 3-5 times higher than normal bolivian restaurants? They Not even borther to do presentation...... I dont know how this place got such high ranking in trip advisor, it just makes me really miss the restaurant in La Paz. Anyway, I guess something must changed drastically in the restaurant, not what I would expect for 7th ranked restaurant from trip advisor. Nothing special about their food only thing special is their 3-5 times higher than market or almuerzo you can coukd easily get elsewhere

    It’s very authentic and remarkable house of famous Bolivian singer Gladys Moreno’s house. It’s something like living memory. From entrance you can start to dream with her songs and you can confuse to read the lyrics or the menu. First order your sopa de mani and dream again the last century. Definitely recommended and definitely you have to try sopa de mani!

    One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Had the tasting menu with 15 courses, each dish to die for. The service is also very good. This is an unmissable place.

    Traditional Bolivian food restaurant. I had the Peanut soup, Surubí de la abuela and the Quiero más dessert. I also tried the Chicha Camba, it was refreshing and different. I liked it all in general, but especially the Surubí which is a fish with vegetables and coconut milk, it was very tasty and low fat.

    (Translated by Google) Real typical Camba food, with good reason it won many prizes, I recommend the lizard chicharrón, the duck majao, the keperi and the 3 milk dessert. The very friendly owner and historian, a pleasant gastronomic and cultural journey. (Original) Verdadera comida típica camba, con razón gano muchos premios, les recomiendo el chicharrón de lagarto, el majao de pato, el keperi y el postre de 3 leches. El dueño muy amable e historiador, una agradable travesía gastronómica y cultural.

    Amazing restaurant and a must try when in Santa Cruz! The service was amazing and the food was delicious.

  • 3/5 Thanh Cong P. 6 years ago on Google
    Overcooked piece of meat that was surprisingly not too chewy but the dish didn't have much in terms of taste besides the beets salad. The rice cheese porridge wasn't to my taste. Terrible vegetarian option (corn pudding), that didn't even come with a side salad. Menu doesn't have prices but a meal for 2 came to around 100 bs.

    El Aljibe Restaurant is one of my "must visit" places in Santa Cruz. Well prepared traditional food, "comida tipica", is hard to find elsewhere. And now you can get your food delivered to your house :) To top their delicious menu, the service is excellent.

  • 4/5 Tony J. 4 years ago on Google
    Situated in a beautiful historic building just a couple blocks from the plaza, this restaurant offers homely, traditional food. We had the sufle aljibe and chicharrón surubi - kinda shepherd's pie, but made with yuca, and fried fish chunks. It was tasty but just a little unexciting - perhaps a little too homely? But I would return again and again just to eat the delicious empanadas!

    (Translated by Google) If you want to savor the true Creole flavor of Camban cuisine, El Aljibe is the restaurant you should choose. According to Tripavisor.com The US website that provides reviews of travel and restaurant related content globally. In addition, the decoration is set in a typical Santa Cruz house of yesteryear when this town had a typical aroma of the eastern towns of the area. You have to try that RAPI AL JUICE and its MASSAGE OF DUCK 🤤🤤 (Original) Si queres saborear el verdadero sabor criollo de la cocina camba, El Aljibe es el restaurant que debes elegir. Según Tripavisor.com El sitio web estadounidense que proporciona reseñas de contenido relacionado con viajes y restaurantes a nivel mundial. Además la decoración está ambientada en una casa típica del Santa Cruz de antaño cuando este pueblo tenía un aroma típico de los pueblos orientales de la zona. Tenes que probar ese RAPI AL JUGO y su MAJADITO DE PATO 🤤🤤

    (Translated by Google) Well, although an observation, the first time that I order chicharrón de surubí, the price is 60 or 65 bs (I don't remember correctly) but the portion of the fish seemed very small for the price, the taste good, attention well, the place very Nice and his dessert "I want more" amazing, as always. (Original) Bien, aunque una observación, primera vez que pido chicharrón de surubí, el precio es de 60 o 65 bs (no recuerdo bien) pero me pareció muy poca la porción del pescado para el precio, el sabor bien, atención bien, el lugar muy bonito y su postre "quiero más" alucinante, como siempre.
