Locos Por la Pasta is a hidden gem in Zona Central La Paz for vegans! Perhaps even more notable is that this restaurant is so vegan friendly that their vegan options are already clearly marked on the menu so you don't have to stress over modifying dishes or play twenty questions with your server. I stumbled upon Locos Por la Pasta after stopping next door at a vegan cafe. That cafe informed me they were closing and that I had to take my food to go. However, they told me this place had "at least five vegan options" so I figured it was worth checking out since I wanted to sit down somewhere for dinner. The large sign outside stating they have vegan options seemed promising, and I was seated immediately and given a menu in English upon request. I wish I took a photo of their menu because the vegan options were plentiful: homemade pastas, pizza, salads, and appetizers -- all clearly marked with a "V". They also had an impressive craft beer list. FYI, you can find their menu online via Google maps. With so many options, I had a hard time deciding but ended up choosing one of the three vegan ravioli options. It was a homemade spinach pasta filled with mushrooms and vegan cheese and topped with a light tomato sauce. I'm a big beer fan so I chose a tasty Baja Brewing stout to enjoy while waiting for my food. My thoughtful server even brought me a chilled glass to pour the bottled beer into. My ravioli came out quickly, and I was delighted to see the amount of care put into making it. It was beautifully presented, and the flavors were well balanced making for a delicious and filling meal. As a home cooking enthusiast myself, I found it really fun to watch them cooking in the open kitchen. It was also really cool to see that this restaurant appears to have a woman head chef, with an all female kitchen staff, too. With delightful vegan options, friendly service, reasonable prices, and a great beer list, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in La Paz. Thanks for a memorable meal, Locos Por la Pasta! read more

They told us they had gluten free at least two folks and then later came to tell us no, they were out. Our friend had gluten allergies. The salad was good but a bit of inconvenience read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by a local so we decided to give it a try. The place is quite small but they were able to accommodate our large party. Upon entering, we saw a worker preparing fresh pasta which was really nice. There weren't many people at the time but for some reason service was really slow. After ordering, it took almost an hour to receive our food. The food was tasty and perhaps because it was fresh, it took long to receive but an hour seems a bit excessive. Staff was friendly but not super attentive. Would recommend if not in a rush and looking to sit back for a while. read more

Absolutely delicious. We had ordered the Green salad, and it was desirable the hint of palm leaves with avocado made, for a really nice unique and savory blend. I had ordered the Aribada fettuccine with olives, giving a nice nod touch to the Uruguayan culture. My Friend had ordered the fruto di mare, which was a seafood pasta that came with a copious amount of cheese and scallops. Overall service was amazing, and it's fascinating to watch them hand roll the pasta. I absolutely recommend this restaurant. read more

The vibe of this place is great, the food is very good. We particularly loved the pork belly appetizer, the fresh pasta was also very good. The ravioli was a little bit undercooked, but still very yummy. I would totally return on my next visit to La Paz read more

What a cute little restaurant. Our server, Eduardo, was so sweet and helpful. We ordered the vegan empanadas along with the fettuccine arrabbiata and a tagliatelle dish that were all incredible. The homemade pasta is just perfection. The prices are great and the quality is top notch. I love that they had so many vegan options, which isn't very common in La Paz. Go check it out! read more

Delicious! Their extensive menu contained many vegan/plant-based options that did not compromise on flavor. Their empanadas were flaky and fresh from the oven. We had their tagliatelle and arrabiata and we ate every last bite. The service was prompt and friendly. Drinks were delicious as well. Would highly recommend if you're in town! read more

Very good Italian for affordable price. Hand made pasta, amazing alfredo. My only (small) complaint is that the chicken didn't taste like it was grilled. Overall, I was very impressed to be ingesting Italian food this good in Mexico! read more

Excellent home made pasta. Pasta Carbonara was the best! You will not be disappointed. Plus, they have a wonderful selection of Mexican wines! read more

Lovely warm environment, both inside and on patio. Fresh house-made pasta, but my spinach fettuccine was frankly thicker and less delicate than I would've liked. Veggie and vegan options. Near Plaza and cathedral, up from the malecon. Free WiFi. No credit cards. read more

Eat here. You'll be happy you did. Quaint location with beautiful courtyard in back. Well executed homemade pasta. Kids shared the beefy lasagna and we split the arrachera steak salad and gnocchi with shrimp in brandy cream sauce with capers. So, so good! Fair prices for the portions and quality. read more

We probably should've tried the pasta, given that it's what they're named for, but we tried the pizzas instead. We got a basic margherita, and the gaucho (ham, potato, pepper). Both were fine, but not _great_. The crepes for dessert were much better, although the dulce de leche one was maybe a little over-sweet, might've been better with a bit less caramel and a bit more nuts. The apple-cinnamon was perfect. read more

A gem we found by chance - from the delicious aromas coming from within Home made from scratch pasta. We had the lasagna and some Empanadas- delicious Full wine & beer selection Large variety of pasta and salad options Great customer service Lovely setting- fun patio We will be back We'll become regulars when in la paz read more

Poor service. Friendly, yes, but very slow for everything. Waited to get the menu, waited for drinks, waited for food, for ketchup, for salad dressing, etc.... Food was very salty, greasy, overcooked. Not worth the money. Date of visit: August 2019 read more
