I drive an hour to go to Bebas to pick up Bolivian Saltenas or empanadas--delicious Latin street food.

I am heartbroken and disappointed with the drive we took from Arizona to California to purchase Bolivian food for Mother's Day to find the mega surprise as I went to heat up my food. How is it a mistake of this magnitude was not noticed by the kitchen staff at Beba's? read more

El sabor de la comida es bueno, pero no están teniendo cuidado con cubrirse el cabello cuando cocinan porque encontré un cabello en la sopa y se me quitaron las ganas de comer, espero que los sueños tengan esta en cuenta. El trato está más o menos, el ambiente está adecuado. read more

We are a Bolivian family and we're very excited to have some Bolivian dishes. The food came out cold. We were the only ones in the restaurant. I really didn't hear or smell anyone cooking. The food tasted like it was frozen and out in the microwave. They don't list the prices. I wonder if they just make up the prices? Very expensive cold meal! Anyway, super disappointed. read more

Great food. My wife is Bolivian, so we like this Bolivian restaurant. Our favorite item are the vegetarian salteñas. Good drinks as well. They have sodas, water, diet, wine, alcohol, and beer. read more

Bebas Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Anaheim, California

I grew up eating Bolivian food, and this place definitely did bring back some memories! We ordered the chairo soup, pique a lo macho, and salteñas. The chairo was good, but it tasted a little different from what I remember back home. Probably because the ingredients here are a little different. The pique a lo macho, however, was amazing! The combination of sliced beef pieces, eggs, tomatoes, and onion in a juicy sauce was just delicious! Especially with the llajua sauce they give you! The salteñas were also really good! They tasted exactly how I remember them, savory and juice filled with meat and veggies. Overall, the food was amazing and I will probably be returning soon! read more

For years we have driven to Beba's for her saltenas despite the traffic. At this point I can no longer eat them since I'm gluten free however they bring a smile to my Bolivian father's face and my teenager. Each pilgrimage finds us buying 50 or 60 frozen to make the 5 freeway trip worth it in time and gas. At one point, more than likely when I was a teenager they were plumper and cheaper but we have tried others and we always come back to Beba's. read more

Great food, great atmosphere and an even better staff. Highly recommended. One stop shop for the best Bolivian food!

You have to try the Salteñas and the Silpancho. The owners are great and if you haven't tried Bolivian food, you are missing out. The space is big and the ambiance is great. read more

Have been coming here from a young age with my family. Try the different appetizers! Love having an Inca Kola with my meal

Food was okay, it was very simple and could use some seasoning. It was my first time trying Bolivian dishes and I wasn't impressed read more

Bebas Restaurant - Silpancho - Latin American Near Me - Anaheim, California

Only good thing here are the saltenas. Unfortunately they are now priced at 4.50 each! Won't be supporting this place moving forward.

Salteñas were great! The rest of the food.... What happened? It used to be good and quality was good. Now it's subpar. Who took over? They should be fired or reconsider their choices. They would definitely fail in Bolivia. Service is bad. The servers are looking everywhere else when you order or ask for things they should bring when you order food. Like forks... read more

One of the only Bolivian restaurants in California, it seems like. Need to drive an hour to visit but well worth it to get a taste of our Bolivian cuisine. read more

Took my momma for a trip to her homeland cooking! Place is usually empty on a Saturday at 3pm but I did see plenty of to go orders. To start, our party of 8 had a round of the BEST saltenas - savory and always with that soupiness that is like Bolivian gold! Everyone loved their meals: sajta de pollo, silpancho, milanesa de carne and milanesa de pollo, caldo de maní, lomo something with eggs on top. All the food is authentic Bolivian fare, with every bite transporting you to a country that has unique spices, savory and lovingly prepared! The highlight for our drinks was the mocochinchi, the disappointment was the chicha morada, which was bottled. I figure it would not be cost effective if they prepared their own, since it doesn't get too busy, which means that it wouldn't sell out fast enough and then quality would be poor. The waitress was sweet and swift with her service. Anyhow, I highly recommend this Bolivian place for a taste of unique South American cooking. read more

I love Bolivian food, but here is sad how she rip us off, I miss my food so I go here, but now like sizes are so small for the price is ridiculous, service is also very slow, but I mean is only lady there helping is impossible for her to do the phone the people and the tables as well. Last time I came I got the salteñas so depressed they were so expensive and so small nothing compared to how they used to give them to you before, everything has drunk in this place. I feel I came to a bistro read more

Great Bolivian cuisine! The salteñas and sopa de mani were excellent. It's hard to find mocochinchi; Bean's does not dissappoint. We will definitely eat here again. read more

Great and delicious saltenas!!!!! I used to come here a lot with my grandma when I was younger. Their portions have gotten smaller and prices have gone up but the deliciousness has stayed the same!!! read more

I visited Bebas Restaurant in Anaheim to pick up some salteña, baked empanadas that originated from Bolivia. They're shaped similar to a dumpling and are baked and not fried. The first bite and nostalgia hit pretty hard, the same taste and aroma experienced in Bolivia. Just be careful not to bite right into it because the steaming hot stew inside can burn your tongue. I picked up the chicken and beef and tried one vegetable this time. The dough is sweet, and the stew savory, flavorful and delicious. Each one cost $3.50. Best to call ahead as they're made to order and will take an average of 25 minutes or so. Or you can order onsite and visit the nearby Anaheim Town Square to pick up some other goods. read more

Too expensive and service very slow. The cashier seemed to be in a bad mood and made the experience not pleasant. read more

4.5, rounded up to 5 My dearest Bolivian friend introduced me to this restaurant and cuisine. It is unlike any other food I have ever had. The place has ample parking and the decor is clean and minimal. While we were waiting for the food, the tv had Bolivian music videos playing. The waitress was friendly and prompt. The saltenas are out of this world. I thought it was going to taste like an empanada but no. It was so flavorful. The crust was this sweet type of pastry almost. The meat was flavorful and there was so much juice from it, almost reminded me of an XLB dumpling. I could have a bunch of these in one sitting if left to my device. I also had the soup, I can't remember the name but it was quite tasty and they give huge portions of food here. The Sajta was bomb. The chicken was so tender, it melted in my mouth. It just fell off the bone. It tasted so good and with the rice, sauce and potatoes. It was fresh and felt homemade. I can't say enough good things about the place. I will be back for sure. I thought I was going to have leftovers, but my husband ate it all as soon as I got home. I don't blame him! read more

Horrible service, unfriendly. Food had no flavor and very expensive. Ambience is very somber, deflated balloons hanging from the ceiling. Restaurant was empty at lunch hour, that should have been the first sign. read more

My nephew picked this family restaurant for his birthday lunch. We have never tried Bolivian food so learning about their culture while experiencing their cuisine was fun & different from the ordinary. The peach juice was delicious like a sweet tea with a peach pit in it. I can't rave enough about the 5-star salsa. I bought 2 containers to take home. I will definitely return to pick up more. read more

I can only speak to the Salteñas. I order them regularly. The beef and chicken are the best, they are delicious! The place is somewhat spacious, and the times I've arrived there are people dining in. By what I have seen and heard, this place is true to the Bolivian culture. I recommend visiting for take out and dining in. read more

Never tried Bolivian food This was the first time, I thought the food was good but I have an impression that they have better places, or maybe I should try a different dish, wish had more recommendations They empanadas tho was so delicious I want more read more

I think this is the best Bolivian food around here. I live in the San Fernando Valley, and if I'm ever in OC, I tend to stop here. If you don't know Bolivian food, do yourself a favor and go order a silpancho and a beef salteña. Salteñas are the latin american version of soup dumplings and they will rock your world. Beba's, in my opinion, has some of the best Salteñas, and I've had the Bolivian Llama Party ones in New York and the ones from El Castor in La Paz. The ambiance is cool. If you go on a weekend, you may see a live band playing. read more

I always get saltenas for potlucks from this restaurant. Sometimes I'll order 4-6 just for myself because they're that good. I need to explore their menu because I'm sure they're all good if their appetizer is amazing read more

Salteñas missing olive and egg piece inside of them. Ordered Pique A Lo Macho also no chile on them they brought us a salsa to add to the food. Not flavorful at all. Expensive for something that is bland will not eat again. Used to original Cochabamba seasoning read more

Those saldenas. They are definitely the highlight of this establishment. I can eat those anytime. They are a juicy meat veg and egg filled pastry baked. It's soupy inside as well. We usually get 20 of them to go and eat them for the whole week For me it's a little far but whenever we are in the area we always stop by either to eat or to just take out for the next day. read more

The food was fantastic. The saltenas were delicious, the Pique was great, the Chairo soup was yummy. Everything was perfect.

Great authentic Bolivian food. Plates have good portions of food... the saltenas are the best empanadas. Great job

Arriba Bolivia! My sister in law's family is from Bolivia and so my sweetie and I were very curious about this eatery. We wondered if the food would be as good as the delicious homemade dishes we had during the holidays. We're delighted to report that we enjoyed our scrumptious lunches at Bebas. I had the delicious silpancho which is a schnitzel type, thinly sliced beef accompanied with thin fried potato slices and pico de gallo. It comes with eggs but I opted for no eggs. The rice is nice and buttery. Home run on the silpancho. My sweetie had a similar beef dish. However his had this really amazing fried cheese, Bolivian corn, and fava beans. All super delish! The Bolivian corn is huge and takes minimal effort to bite off from the cobb. He also had the sopa de mani which is a peanut soup. Very good. We tried the dehydrated peach and cinnamon drink called the mocochinchi. He found it to be refreshing. I however found it too sweet for my liking and opted for a bottled soda. Our server was pleasant and efficient. Unfortunately they seemed to be only staffed with 2 servers. Each table in the dining area was occupied by patrons. They need to prepare for these kinds of rushes especially on Sundays. Signage outside is a bit odd. We were not sure if we arrived at the correct place since the sign outside says "Bebas Gilmore's Restaurant." Cool Bolivian décor. Check out some of the photos. We'll be back to try the saltenas! read more

I was born in Bolivia and these Salteñas are the real deal.... the only place around that I know sells these tasty,wonderful treats!! Just like mom used to make! Please keep this place in business!!! read more

Don't know how to run a business. Service is non existent. Appeasing themselves over customer is necessary. Drove from The San Fernando Valley seeking some "authentic bolivian cuisine". Arrived before "opening " time at 11am. You would assume they would start an hour or two before opening hour to prep... Anyway...get there 10 minutes before 11 and ghost town. Nothing wrong because it's still not open. But my assumptions of someone getting there at 11 to start prepping becomes more real. 11th hour arrives and still nobody. Worker arrived 11:10, lights up the open sign 11:15am and doesn't allow me in until 11:20 because she was on the phone probably taking orders. Walk in and tells me no food available but only saltenas. Alright cool...but she tells me 40 minutes to prep them. Clearly they fell asleep... Extremely inconvenient but considering my car drive to get some decent Bolivian food, I figure I would just wait. Until she tells me that I must pay individual pricing for saltenas. I wanted at least a dozen and my total would end up being $50+ They are within their rights to price as they please. But business 101 would tell you that when you're buying in bulk, the cost per unit is decreases. It is what it is... read more

Thank you Team Bebas and Miriam for being such fantastic Hosts today!! The Restaurant looked beautiful and spotlessly elegant and the food came out exquisitely excellent. We had the saltenas, the Milanese Chicken, the beef with sauteed vegetables, and their fried bread with powdered sugar and cream cheese inside which I loved much!! Don't forget your mochachinchi too, a special dried peach drink with cinnamon that they're known for. Miriam was so cool and patiently courteous, and guided us through the menu like a skilled professional read more
