The Best Restaurant in Tilcara, The Northwest

A delightful al fresco dining experience located within the courtyard of an adobe home, Casa Mocha has put the rural village of Huacalera on the foodie map. The Manzur family, who opened the restaurant in 2024, also produces wines including Malbec, Criolla, and Sauvignon Blanc from the Quebrada de Humahuaca as Bodega El Bayeh. Sample these with the delicious lunchtime menu that draws from the family’s Lebanese roots, including bean hummus, quinoa tabulé, and empanadas baked in the clay oven. You can also buy their wines and own selection of goat cheeses from the little store.
