Their food is amazing especially the salteñas friendly workers But the space is alittle small . Overall take a bite and you'll enjoy read more

The food here is pretty good, with generous portions and plenty of Bolivian specialties worth trying. Definitely try the beef tongue. It may sound unusual, but it is surprisingly tender and flavorful. It comes in a delicious stew served over stewed potatoes and rice. The steak is tasty, although the cut of meat could be better. It is served with a salad and topped with an egg. The Queperi is essentially beef brisket served with cheesy rice, fried plantains, and yuca. It is a delicious and satisfying plate. If you like hot dogs or sausage, try the Pique Macho. It is a huge plate of sautéed beef and sliced sausage cooked with onions, finished with slightly cooked tomato wedges and topped with jalapeños. The beef and sausage sit over a bed of steak fries, and all of the flavorful juices soak into the fries, giving them an incredible flavor. The downside is that some of the meat is a bit tendonous, but the overall flavor is very good and the dish is definitely worth trying. The Lomo Saltado is another good choice. The flavor is quite good, and the portion is generous. They also have a bakery section with Napoleons and a variety of Bolivian baked goods, including cheese bread. Everything we tried tasted fresh and was pretty good. Overall, there are lots of interesting Bolivian dishes to try here, and the generous portions make it a good place to explore different flavors. read more

This is a wonderful cafe and bakery that actually serves more than just baked goods. Today I ordered the Empañada Royal. It came with a spicy cheese possibly Monterrey jack, onions, and jalapeño peppers. The portion was just right and enough to fill me up for dinner really. My boyfriend ordered some type of pastry that appeared to be very rich in calories. We both ordered regular Cafe Americanos with leche even though it was late afternoon. Therr was one Server helping everyone in the cafe and I thought she did an awesome job. The cafe is clean and bright and comfortable enough for short stays. In other words, it's not the type of cafe where one would just han out for an extended period of time. Everyone here was very cordial and we had a relaxed time. read more

Cute spot they did have lattes and cafe as well a few bakery goods and breads. The quesadilla did not lack cheese and overall okay. Would've liked more salsa as it was to go. Pricing was about 20 per person read more

What a neat find! I was searching for some paella, and this restaurant delivered. What I ordered via DoorDash: * Seafood Paella: It's so delicious! It wasn't dried out, it had tons of seafood (mussels, shrimp, and sausage), and it was very flavorful. I would totally get this again. * Alfajores Cookie: I didn't expect such a huge cookie! It wasn't bad, but I typically make my own and prefer a smaller portion. The dulce de leche filling was very generous, which was a bit off-putting. I think this would be more successful if it were smaller. * Cheesy Bread (Cuñapé): This was also huge! If you think about it, one of these is enough to replace three smaller ones. It reminded me of Fogo de Chão's cheesy bread. I didn't eat it warm, but it was still decent and had that perfect, chewy tapioca texture. Next time, I'll dine in to try their empanadas and flan! I can't wait to pop in! read more

What an unexpected hidden gem! Everything here was fantastic, from the service to the food. We didn't realize it was Bolivian until we ordered, but every bite was delicious. We got the steak with a fried egg and fries, a side of their hearty beef and veggie quinoa soup, and a perfectly seasoned grilled chicken house salad. Even with all that food, everything felt so fresh and high-quality that we didn't leave feeling overly full. Everything tasted like a comforting, authentic home-cooked meal. We will definitely be back! read more

As a Bolivian myself, I'm always on the lookout for dishes that remind me of home. I had the silpancho, which was cooked to perfection. The peach drink was a delightful pairing. I also tried the empanada de queso and the huminta al horno, that really hit the spot. While I found the treats to be decent, they were not quite as memorable as the savory meal. That said, it is all a matter of preference, I have had some that were a bit better. Nevertheless, if I find myself in the area again, I would not hesitate to stop by for a delish meal. Note: Service was ok, from the looks of it many just order takeout. read more

Bakery Bread & Grill - Silpancho - Latin American Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I came in and had the Silpancho. For the amount of food, I can see why it was $20. The meat was cooked well, the eggs were over easy, and there was a healthy amount of pico de gallo on top. Underneath, there was some potatoes and rice. The rice?! Oh my god the rice was amazing. It was really nicely seasoned and the entire dish had multiple flavors going on that I didn't get tired of the taste. As for the service, the staff was nice. There wasn't much to note, as everything went smoothly and we didn't need much assistance during our visit. In general, the food was delicious. The place was a little small, but that's what's makes it a cozy spot. This place makes for a great stop if you're in the area. read more

This Bolivian restaurant is a hidden gem! The place suffers from a bad business name but don't be fooled. The food here is to die for. I've been a regular at this place for a while! If you don't know what to order, here is my recommendation for your first try. Get Silpancho which is thinly rolled beef fried with bread crumps served on oiled up rice, slices of potatoes, eggs and onion, tomato combo to bring some balance. This dish is so good that I have to keep coming back. I also like the fact that every time I came, the taste is exactly the same - super consistent. Just beware, the portion is HUGE! If you don't eat a lot, this can easily be two meals. Pair it with freshly made Horchata drink! Then get Alfajores for dessert. Amazing food! The place is quite small so I wouldn't bring a big party. I'd be surprised if they can serve 15 customers comfortably. The decor is also not there but I'm not really complaining here. This is not that kind of restaurant. You come here for the authentic food. Communication could be a challenge as I found not all waitresses speak fluent English. However, that shouldn't matter after you read this review because you already know what to order! I bet your foodie azs you gon enjoy this gem! lol read more

First time at this local gem. Arrived after lunch and the seating area was still full. The ladies who helped us were knowledgeable and kind. The woman at the counter offered us menus as we waited and ushered us to a table. Ultimately we ordered Lomo saltado, beef Salteña, and horchata. Guys, the food was really good! As good as the pictures are, they can't tell you how the dishes were seasoned perfectly. The Lomo saltado was the perfect mixture of steak, onions, tomato and peppers all over crispy fried potatoes, served with white rice. The beef mixture of the Salteña was flavorful and I enjoyed the light sweetness of the bread covering of the pie. The horchata delicious but is sold by the glass, with no free refills. But the people were friendly and I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. read more

First Bolivian location that I've eaten and I left wanting to come back to try out the rest of the menu. Took some of their dessert options home. Feels like you're getting a home cooked meal experience. Deserves the 5 stars. My wife and I live about 10 mins from here and we'll be coming back frequently. read more

I am thoroughly impressed by this operation. We tried the tres leches cake paired with an elephant ear. Then, took some tomales and baklava to go. Will return soon. Thank you so much! read more

This generically-named Bolivian bakery & restaurant has both a take-out area and dine-in space. The dine-in space is small so don't bring a group, even getting a table for more than three is a stretch. The service is quite friendly. *Saltenas: I love these savory pastries. These come in beef or chicken as filling. They taste hot (gotta be careful eating these with the liquid pouring out with each bite) and fresh. The stew filling is perfectly seasoned. *Picante de lengua: This is on the weekend special menu. It's stewed beef tongue with rice & potatoes. This may be the most tender slow-cooked beef tongue I've ever eaten, and the stew seasoning is delicious. The menu reads "spicy" and I sensed no heat whatsoever, but in no way was this dish bland. *Alfajores: These cookies are quite large size and look really appetizing behind the glass bakery display. Delicious, not too sweet, but still full of flavor. *Humintas: I love these corn cakes wrapped in corn husk! Such an upgrade from typical American cornbread. Tastes less dough-y, and has more actual corn kernels inside. One of the best Bolivian restaurants in this area for sure. I'll be back! It's just a shame that the dining space is so small so I can't bring a larger group. The only other point of reference I have for Bolivian food is Pan American in Alexandria, which has a similar menu, *slightly* lower prices, and a larger dining space, with similar food taste, but less friendly service than Bakery Bread & Grill. read more

This was the second time I've been here and it does not disappoint. My wife and I were initially recommended this place when we were in the are and wanted a quick bite to eat. Pulling up it is located off a main road an a busy strip mall so parking can get a little difficult to find. When you enter its a tight fit with a bunch of smaller tables and just a long counter for them to display their daily offerings. When we arrived my wife and I tried their saltenas, alfajore and Gyro sandwich. We ordered one chicken and one beef saltena they were fresh made and fairly hot when we tried to eat. They are served with a spicy green sauce that pairs well with them. Biting in they were very delicious, filled with potatoes meat juices and veggies. The dough is nice and thick and has a good flavor. If you are ever on the lookout for good bolivian saltenas this has to be a place to try. We also get the gyro sandwich, and while opening it up it did not look super appealing but once I took a bite I was surprisingly mistaken. It probably thelp that they are right next to a halal market to get the lamb from but it was super tasty combined with the veggies, pita, and feta cheese on top I would definitely not sleep on this offering. We also ordered the alfajore which if I'm being honest was not my favorite but definitely not the worst I've ever had. Suffice it to say we will be traveling back to try some of their entrees! read more

A really good small locally owned place. They have a really good clean refreshing horchata!! So comes to find out this is a Bolivian restaurant! So they have things like paella which is a moist saturated with flavors with sausages and lots of seafood and they also have I think it's called saltenas(?) it's a small stew in a pie form. Lots of beef, potatoe, other veggies and (an egg I think) the service is great! She will ask you what you like and give feedbacks on what's good! Overall very great place! I highly recommend you try it out! read more

6/4/22 Another place my wife introduced me to. This place has been here ten years and today is my first time here. I ordered the patty double cheeseburger even though it is called a double patty hamburger and it comes with cheese. The bacon wasn't included in my ordered, but my wife doesn't like it when I eat pork. "No pork for me." The place went through waves of guests getting orders, but the managers and cooks got it done. My wife's order did not come out right, but the problem was quickly fixed with an apology. The food is good, but there is one big problem. We did not have enough room for dessert. We will have to come back here to try a dessert of the menu. We will do so soon. read more

I ONLY COME FOR SALTANEAS & TUCUMANAS. I have been coming here for years and the flavor has not changed nor has the atmosphere. It's a quiet little bakery. Honestly a while back, the staff wasn't too friendly this last time I went although they didn't speak and kind of looked at me weird at first, I wasn't backing down from the food. They no longer sell the TUCUMANAS but they still have the authentic SALTANEAS, which were magnificent!!! The sweet bread moist and deliciousness of the baked treat is sooooooo delightful . You can pick chicken or beef - Please do not knock it b4 you try it! I travel for food!!! And it was sure worth it. O yeah and their cakes are nice and gluffy pretty and I'm very picky I only get strawberry kiwi cake which is AHMAZING!!!! read more

I love places like this -- locally owned, small business with really nice people. It's a Bolivian bakery with breakfast, lunch and dinner service, mainly South American food. There are only about six tables and the order will arrive quickly. Each day of the week has specials, but Tuesday is my favorite -- Lomo Saltado (you can get it other days too). Come hungry, the portions are large and the food is top-notch. Avoid looking at the delicious cakes and other baked goods -- you'll be tempted to leave with a bag of goodies. You can pick up empanadas to go too. read more

The salteñas here are excellent! I went to this place on the recommendation of two Bolivian peeps and I was not disappointed. They have a pastry case with lots of sweet and savory baked goods, including both chicken and beef salteñas (sort of like a liquid-filled empanada for the uninitiated). I also got some cornbread with cheese that was top notch. Lunch specials rotate during the week. The day I went there was chicken soltado (chicken pieces with French fries and veggies in a salty gravy sauce). My dining partner practically licked the plate clean. Plenty of parking, but the store itself is small so you may have to wait to grab a table. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Service was quick and my food was delicious! I ordered a empanada from the bakery case as well as a napoleon. The empanada was lightly seasoned and tasted very fresh. My napoleon was fantastic! Crispy flaky layers filled with a thick, rich pastry cream. I've been charged a LOT more for much less at other fancy places. This was big enough to share easily and I ordered more to take home! read more

I used to live in an apt complex walking distance to this little restaurant/cafe. I've gone several times for their lunch specials or just to pick up a snack. I've never eaten something I didn't enjoy here. The prices are fair and they give you such a large amount of food! The saltenas are perfect for a quick bite - they have beef and chicken ones, both are good but I prefer the chicken ones. Almost like a chicken pot pie in handheld form, but with a tad sweeter taste due to the breading. Eat it with the spicy green sauce and you have the perfect combo of savory, sweet, and spice all in one! ps. make sure to stop by Sugar Mamas nearby for some ice cream dessert afterwards read more

Pros: salsa on the side Cons: -Food/safety Hazard: Place Hot Fried food directly on styrofoam resulting the food having styrofoam particles and I had to throw it out. -Cheap with sauce: When you eat at the restaurant (before COVID) they would give you a large bowl of green sauce. Now you only get 1 Tablespoon of green sauce. -Grease they fried the meat in tastes off. Has a sour aftertaste. -Time to find a new Bolivian place. This place has potential but is sloppy at handling food. read more

great people and a great chef. had a problem with my order and with no problems they fixed my order and the food was great.

This is my Third visit and I have learned that customers only go here for the food, as the service is poor to say the least. Unfortunately, today was bad ALL around. Let's go back to the second visit... we entered and the tables were all taken but two, so we sat ourselves as that's how they prefer to serve. Within five minutes a family of Three came in and we had not yet been served nor had our drink order taken, so we kindly got up and grabbed a high table with only two chairs and gave the family of three a table to enjoy their meal. Both the family and Waitress thanked us for accommodating. Let me just say, the family who we gave up our table to received their drinks and food before we were even noticed again. Today. Now our Third and FINAL visit took the cake. We entered the restaurant at 2:50pm, they had a sign up that said they closed at 3:30pm. So we were ready to scarf down and get out in time for the staff to enjoy their holidays. Upon getting sat down, we ordered two coffees, a sprite, salteñas and was told that there were no cuñapés left as the oven was turned off.... people were still picking up their orders and I feel sorry for them. I had to ask for a menu and still felt rushed to order. I asked for the Falso Conejo and they "were out". So we ended up with the sopa mani and Fricase. We put the order in by 3pm, the women were counting out their tips by 3:10pm. At around 3:15, we heard the kitchen bell ring three times, Nobody moved. At 3:20 it rang again. 3:25 a woman noticed us just sitting there staring at the wall and came over and asked if we were okay. I replied "Yes, just waiting for our food". She went into the back and the cook told her he had rang the bell several times to let us know the food was ready. Not being our waitress, I understand it was not her fault. Yet, our waitress NEVER checked back in with us. Once our food arrived, not only was it already cold, but EVERYTHING was microwaved. The fries in the sopa mani were worst than left over twice baked frozen fries so we did not eat it. There were Two (not exagerating) noodles in the whole bowl. I had asked for no salad nor tomatoes on my plate, that request was ignored. But, to top if all off, check the pictures of our food. Instead of rice I got porridge. They must have nuked it so bad that it because mush, then they tried to fix it by adding clumps of butter. Finally you can tell they gave up and just send it out with a green onion garnish . The meat felt like it came out of a frozen dinner box. Please do better for your future customers and treat them well as they are paying for what they order. read more

OMG what a great find! The food was awesome, diversified, and the portions were more than plentiful!

I vaguely remember trying amazing saltenas a while back from some friends and when I saw this almost "generic" looking bakery, I realized the saltenas were from here! Don't let the exterior fool you, it is a gem! I definitely want to come back to try more dishes from here. The beef saltenas have a bit of sweetness to them and it's filled with huge chunks of potatoes and beef. The exterior is soft and baked to perfection, the inside is hearty and juicy. The green sauce adds a little kick but pairs really nicely with the saltena. The spicy chicken also has chunks of chicken and potatoes. Super filling and the perfect handheld size. The place inside is small and only has a few tables. There were stickers on the floor to mark physical distancing. read more

I came back for the salteñas and they're still as good as ever! This time I tried some more dishes like the Lomo Saltado, which was incredibly huge and filling. I'll tell you one thing, the potatoes here are no joke! They will fill you up quick! Another thing I am in love with here is the Horchata! I've never been anywhere that nails the consistency and balance of the flavors and the milk so perfectly. Definitely a must try, you won't regret ;) Menu is the same, huge selection, kind of mid-range pricy-ish, but for that portion, I don't mind leftovers for lunch tomorrow! read more
