; get there early as they sell out fast. Thanks to Sucre's status as Bolivia's chocol-
ate capital, there are plenty of stores that cater to those with a sweet tooth along Arenales.

Tentaciones $$
(Arenales 11; mains B$20-40)

Joy Ride Café $$
(Ortiz 14; mains B$25-50; 7:30am-2am Mon-Fri, 9am-2am Sat & Sun)
