    Purple corn drink
    Grace W.

    A friend of mine introduced me to this place, on Douglass road and tucked away in between residential houses. Very cute but extremely small and no space to eat inside or wait - definitely can't adhere to social distancing. My friend doesn't like their other meals. But I had the api with cheese and sugar and it was delicious- fried crispy savory and sweet, the purple corn drink was interesting but not something I would probably get again.

    This is a cute little place! The food and prices are decent. I had the Tacumanas, which are similar to Saltenas or Empanadas. It was filled with chicken, peas, egg, potato, and some spices. I also had the sweet peach tea drink, which is called a Mogochinche. The staff seemed nice, too! Unfortunately the menu had no English translations, and I wish they would get more Bolivian drinks and more Bolivian sodas instead of the sodas that they have now, or at least bring in more natural sodas. Otherwise, everything else was good. The food seemed almost like home-cooked food and authentic.

    The api con pasteles is really good. It's a bit on the pricey end compared to other places but you really get a bang for your buck here. The pasteles are huge and the api is always fresh. It's my favorite place for breakfast.

    This place has good food but the waiters are not very attentive. The place is not professional looking.

    i have only ever tried the saltenas here! came here on recommendation from a bolivian coworker…read more since then i have introduced a few friends to this place! we all love picking up a bunch of saltenas since they are affordable and a good size. they always come out PIPING hot and full of broth so beware lol. i always foolishly try to eat one in the car bc i cannot resist. the chicken and beef saltenas are both great you really cannot go wrong. you can place a pickup order in advance, they're around 3.75 when you order online. every person i've spoken to at the register has been really kind. there's a cozy little sitting area for takeout orders as well if you want to pull up and order more items from the menu! i hope to try more items they have in the future :)

I'm from Ecuador and we have "humitas", which are basically as close as Bolivian "humintas", these are definitely like the "creole/criollas" style in my country! using sweet corn than the ones using white corn (more savory). These Humintas are huge! Love how thick and still moist are! The cheese was salty enough to break through the sweetness of the corn masa. If you like cornbread, this is definitely elevated corn bread! The cashier asked me if I wanted these to be put in the oven to reheat in case I wanted to eat there, but I was taking them home for dinner, so I didn't. They have outdoor seating if you want to eat the baked goods! The humintas and most of the baked items are $3.50, which is a reasonable price for how big are! Definitely will try other things but humintas/humitas are my fav!

The service was excellent and accommodating. I was impressed because I know large groups can be difficult to wait on, so was very pleased with the service and how quick they were to get our orders in and us served. We ordered a variety of appetizers, such as the the empanadas, calamari, and garlic shrimp. My favorite items were the empanadas and calamari, which were extra tasty with the accompanying sauces. We also ordered a variety of grilled meats, including the two large Parrillada meat platters and picanha . The accompanying sides we tried were the fries, cheese rice, fried yucca, and plantains. I really liked the plantains, but the cheese rice was not was I expected. It was more like grits than cheesy rice. The meats were cooked to how we requested it, and of course tastes especially good with the sauces. My favorite cuts were the strip steak, beef rib, and picanha. I didn't really care for the sweet breads, but that is a personal preference. Value wise, the Parrillada platters could easily feed 4 - 5 people, so we had plenty of leftovers. I would definitely recommend checking out La Estancia if you enjoy grilled meats!

They were not very busy when we arrived but remained attentive during our entire visit. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. We got a parrillada mixta, which means mixed grilled meats. It was superb! My husband had a cup of coffee, which was also good. Usually, restaurants go for generic coffee, and it's always overcooked. This was fresh and delicious. The restaurant is nicely decorated, music is playing, and there is a bar. It would be a great hang-out spot.

    I discovered them through IG, as they mentioned that they had saltenas... I should have called to…read moredouble check. As of today Saturday July 28th, they didn't. First of their shared parking lot sucks.. it's narrow and idk how some people got their license... VA drivers! One parked so close to my car I had to enter thru my passenger side... so avoid parking in the gravely parking lot. So the place is small, they were packed by noon. The service is ok... I got their sopa de mani...peanut soup... as I didn't wanna order anything else.. they didnt have any apps. Only soup and entrees.. Again NO saltenas!! My soup sucks... not very flavorful.. since when this soup is made with spiral noodles? If anything they are suppose to have crispy French fries as you would see in past photos. Yuck?!! One sole piece of meat. I was never checked on, as I would have mentioned that the soup was a disappointment. It lack so much. It was very milky.. and no much of anything. I had this soup at so many places, and I'm recovering from COVID. I needed something nourishing. This was awful. Save yourself a trip here, drive down the street and go to Luzmarys. You'll definitely have a better and authentic Bolivian experience, idk how this place has high ratings.

I think they have some of…read morethe best sopa de mani in the area because it's not stuffed with fillers like pasta or potatoes. It has a good amount of meat and crispy fries on top. Tried the fricasé paceño for the first time and it was delicious. And they do half portions of the pique which is great if you want to just try it. My favorite thing though is the sarnitas or bread they give you with every meal. I get extra of those to take home because they are so good. Also I recommend trying their housemade drinks like linaza or mochochinche. I like their linaza. Heads up that they don't do pitchers for groups. Just single cups. It's a small place so I wouldn't go with a big group unless you want to wait or call ahead. I think it's best for 2-4 people.
