Bolivian cuisine reflects its diverse geography. Begin with “Quisiera pedir…” (I’d like to order…). Must-try dishes include salteñas (savory pastries) and pique a lo macho (meat platter). For spiciness, use “Picante” (spicy) or “Suave” (mild). Try chicha, a traditional corn beer, with your meal. In markets, use “¿Cuánto cuesta?” (How much?) and “Rebaja” to haggle. Tipping isn’t expected but is appreciated in tourist areas. “La cuenta, por favor” gets you the bill. Be prepared for hearty portions!
