About this spot
Tulasi offers a vibrant vegetarian escape in the bustling San Pedro Market Area, serving colorful dishes like stuffed portobello mushrooms and creamy lentil stews that feel deeply rooted in Andean traditions.

💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Pique Macho' vegetarian version to experience a spicy potato, corn, and bean stew traditionally reserved for meat-eaters.
- Ask for extra cilantro on your rice; it's often under-seasoned but adds a fresh, citrusy punch that balances rich sauces.
- Arrive early or go late to avoid the midday rush of pilgrims and tourists queuing for seats at this popular market spot.
