Super delicious and authentic food. However, the restaurant is very small, and they do not have the proper amount of staff to tend to people. I would definitely go back but buy to go.

Everything was great. The food was super good, loved the Saltenas, both the chicken and beef, and the soup mani was super good with the potatoes and creamy base. The cookies were tasty and drinks were good too, not too sweet. Place is small but friendly/cozy. Waiter was helpful and gave great service. Would definitely come back again

Had been wanting to try this place and happened to walk by so I decided to get a beef Salteña. They were super attentive and immediately started warming it up. It did not disappoint—the filling was juicy and the crust was flaky and buttery. Will be back for more! Especially their 2 for $8 salteña and $5 breakfast special (free coffee with $5 purchase).

Cute café on a quiet side street off a very busy Van Nuys Blvd. Friendly people... I had the chicken Saltena today. You could taste that its fresh dough. In fact, during my visit the cooks had their rolling pins in hand with fresh dough out on their boards. Will be back.

Delicious, authentic Bolivian food! The silpancho was huge but was extremely tasty! I also really enjoyed their saltenas, coffee, and empanadas. The conversation was really nice and the place was very warm and comfortable. :)

Wonderful chicken Saltenas. Really nice people. The place is small. Do you like hole-in-the-wall places? This defines that term. Great food, great people, tiny. Parking is another story. There is a structure two blocks to the east.
